We Found the Secret to Preventing Dreaded Mascara Raccoon Eyes Once and for All
Your foundation is flawless, your brows are perfection and your hair looks like it was professionally blown out. The only thing stopping you from reaching beauty nirvana? Spidery, clumpy eyelashes or worse—raccoon eyes. Luckily, there’s a solution: tubing mascara. Unlike conventional formulas that paint your lashes with oil-infused or wax pigments that are quick to smudge, these use a flexible polymer that wraps around each lash for complete coverage. It won’t create more volume, but it will lengthen. Sold yet? Here are a few of our current favorites.
