This can help prevent smudging caused by clumps of mascara.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Apply Mascara to Lower Lashes Last<\/h3>\nTo avoid smudging mascara on your lower lid, apply mascara to your upper lashes first and let it dry completely before applying mascara to your lower lashes.<\/p>\n Remove Excess Mascara from the Wand<\/h3>\nBefore applying mascara, wipe off any excess product from the wand using a tissue or the edge of the tube.

Once the mascara is dissolved, clean up any residue with a clean cotton swab or tissue.<\/p>\n Concealer or Foundation Touch-Up<\/h3>\nAfter removing the smudge with a cotton swab, you may need to touch up your concealer or foundation. Use a small brush or sponge to blend the product back into your skin.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Keep a Makeup Sponge Handy<\/h3>\nA makeup sponge can be a useful tool for quickly fixing smudges. Gently dab the sponge on the smudged area to lift away the mascara without disturbing your makeup.<\/p>\n Wait for the Smudge to Dry<\/h3>\nIf you’ve accidentally smudged your mascara while it’s still wet, wait for it to dry before attempting to fix it. Once the mascara is dry, you can easily flake it off with a cotton swab or your fingertip without smearing it further.<\/p>\n “Quick fixes for mascara smudges include using a cotton swab with makeup remover, touching up with concealer or foundation, dabbing with a makeup sponge, and waiting for the smudge to dry.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/h2>\n<\/span>Key Takeaways<\/span><\/h2>\n\n- Mascara smudging can be caused by various factors, including oily skin, humidity, and improper application.<\/li>\n
