Q: “Every summer, it becomes impossible for me to wear mascara without having raccoon eyes by the end of the day. It’s beginning to leave an almost permanent dark shadow under my eyes because it doesn’t come off so easily. Can you recommend tips for avoiding this? And good mascara brands that don’t run?” E.F.
A: “I always love Aveda Mosscara as it has a glossy finish which is not too heavy for the summer and doesn’t flake,” says celebrity makeup artist Talia Shobrook whose clients include Kate Bosworth. “An easy trick to solve the smudging problem is to carry a small tester size bottle of eye make up remover and some cotton buds. You can use it to remove the smudging throughout the day. This ensures racoon free eyes for the summer.”
