I tried the Essence mascara (green one) and it was one of the worst mascaras that I have ever tried in terms of smudging. I looked like a panda within hours! I have super oily skin, just like Nikkia. It just goes to show how different everyone’s skin is.

[@lisavee68]

Yes,I bought it a few months ago and don't like it,Tried it on twice with multiple layers too and still not one of favorite

[@adrianagoldfine4087]

I love the effect with the Essence one, but it transfers sooooo much, even with the waterproof version! :(

[@milytzalatorre7182]

Adriana Difini same for me😭😭

[@oooohmysoooosexy]

Adriana Difini I tried the blue one, it’s the same, at the end of the day I have black specs on my face. So what I do, I top if with another mascara. Must be Essence formula.

[@DebiM75]

I always end up looking like a raccoon when I use this mascara, it's so frustrating that it doesn't work for me 😞

[@livbgh5056]

Yes??? Me too 🙄 I'm from Europe, maybe the formula is different here.?

[@MargeBurkellDotCom]

[@victoriaioana2217]

i love you so much that I can't explain it words...i was lucky enough to discover you 3-4 years ago when I just started using make up and you guided me and taught me all I know and I never buy a product without your approval! If you say no it's a no from me as well because I trust you with all my heart and you've never let down! On top of that, you are an incredibly sweet, funny, caring and gorgeous woman. I love you to the moon and back and please never stop being yourself and doing what you enjoy, you deserve the world and even more.❤❤

All those mascaras, with the exception of the first one, are my favs. Thanks for sharing!

[@PreciousGemx3]

Omg your eye makeup looks gorgeous 😍😍❤️❤️

[@tiffanyrussell6462]

Yay my fave is on here! Lights, Camera, Lashes is the bomb. Also just purchased the Essence one recently & love it!

We deal with the same issues regarding mascaras so I am really happy you did this video!

[@jana-lereeuys]

You look so beautiful in this video. The colour of your top in combination with champagne coloured eyeshadow look is absolutely STUNNING!!!

[@notes_to_elle8664]

Totally agree on the MAC one. I bought it because I heard it was good for the lower lash line but I eventually realised it's fantastic on the upper lashes for very respectable length and volume without clumpiness. :)

[@TheChubbyDoe]

My skin is oily too and I have this problem all the time, thanks so much for this vid!

[@thomasinamorgan5559]

I am so absolutely thrilled you have done this video 🎉🎉🎉 I have same issue with my oily skin and have very hooded eyes too.

[@kristensargenti60]

I agree with all of these except the Essence. That one transferred on me. LOVE the Hourglass Caution mascara. I've been through probably 6 minis and 2 full sized already. The best!

[@thummbuhlina]

Helpful!

[@clarejohnston1801]

I bought the Caution one for my mum who has short lashes post chemo and it’s been amazing for her! And I just bought the Essence Volume Stylist 18 hour hold and the get big lashes volume curl and there’s zero smudging or flaking even in this crazy humid weather. Plus they’re $6 or less!

[@shaynamcdaniel7422]

I'm so glad u said that! If you look at the small print that they flash for maybe 2 seconds on ads and commercials they always say that their lashes are enhanced with false lashes

[@humeraanwar4835]

Omg this video literally came at the perfect time because I need a new mascara, it’s like you read my mind once again 😂😘💜

Omg was just wondering who had made video about "smudge proof mascara" then u uploaded this one. Thank u. U are the best

[@amandahaynes9205]

Thank you girl!!! You're the best for reviews!!

[@taylorwaidner8495]

I love all your videos and truly appreciate your honesty about what works. I have oily textured skin as well and the struggle is real. I would love for you to do a video on what brushes you use. I’ve been looking into updating my brushes and would love to hear your opinion on what’s worth the investment.

[@Sharon.311]

Thank you Nikkia because of your recommendation from a couple of years ago the Mac giga is my fav and I keep repurchasing it. Just tried the new Maybelline Falsies lash lift and I really enjoying that one 💕

[@ann-marieo.5359]

Thanks Nikkia! Perfect timing my mascara was flaking on my cheeks today so I need to get a new mascara. I’m going to try the Maybelline one.

I super struggle with this also! Thank you so much for this vid!! x

[@candimayes]

Thank you for this video. I have been a die-hard user of Dior Addict It-Lash because it doesn't transfer on me and gives me great length (plus the brush really separated my lashes so so well) BUT they discontinued it. grrrrrr So now I am on the hunt for a new mascara and I appreciate your reviews especially because I too have oily skin. This video really helped!!

[@eliontheroad]

Always giving great and solid tips. I used to have issues with mascaras, reason why I didn’t use it for years. Until I start to follow your channel and advices some years ago. MAC one works just perfect for me. I’ve bought it in different countries and they are just the same. Thanks for you advice and giiiirl, your eyes look gorgeous. On the other hand, would it be possible to do a video using a full face of organic or vegan make up? As well as another with cruelty free products only? Thank you and greetings from Peru.

[@ritahall7306]

I like the same kind of brushes that you do. I want to try the Hourglass mascara. Thanks for the video!

[@christahodges]

Hello! Happy Monday! Super excited to watch🙌 Thank you for this video ❤👍😊🤗

[@kayceh6198]

God HG is on the list. It’s my favorite mascara of all time will never be without. I have weird brow bones that kinda droop and oily skin there too and mascara ALWAYS smudged there. The first ever mascara that hasn’t.

[@vassta9396]

Which mascara?

[@natasha1106]

You are absolutely right about that essence mascara in the green and black tube. I’ve been using it ever since juicy jas talked about it on her channel from the last year. When I go to Ulta I usually pick them up by nearly a half a dozen.

[@taylovespatch2]

yes the tarte mascara is amazing I love it!!! also recommend the PUR fully charged mascara!

[@gabrielladots5990]

My experience.....with shown mascara....Maybelin : no volume ....Essence: transfers EVERYTIME .... both terrible

I’m very oily within 30 minutes and I blot several times a day AND I’m on tretinoin 🙄for reference. do you use eye shadow primer (not concealer)? Even if I don’t wear eyeshadow I still put a little bit on to keep the eyelid less oily and it helps the mascara not transfer.

[@kathymonton724]

If I use concealer on my eyelids or put nothing there..I will transfer top and bottom

I love the lash princess mascara, but I also have very oily skin and it does smudge on me. My suggestion to the ones with the same issue, try the Telescopic mascara on the outer lashes and use the essence one for the rest, it works for me.

[@mariarobes4187]

Love the the essence maskara and the Maybeline Mega Lash in the pink and black bottle.

I use Maybelline Super Stay. I also use Napoleon Perdis which has a great small brush to do my lower lashes. Two no one talks about, but both work for me.

[@teletalk101]

I normally double my mascaras. I use the L’Oreal Baby Roll mascara first and then add a coat of the Maybelline Big Shot mascara straight away. I find they work really well together to add length and volume.

[@jeanettecefre8552]

Haven’t tried any of those... but also wanted to add L’Oreal Double Extension Beauty Tube Mascara. Any tubing mascara works on me. I have oily skin and everything seems to melt off.

[@AzhureLace]

I love Tarte's lights camera action mascara. I even keep it in my purse for days I forget to put on makeup. However, I usually do have some smudging/transfer under my eyes about halfway through my 11 hr day. Not a lot, but enough to wipe off with a wet paper towel before going back to work. Lately though, I've hooked on KVD's Go Big or Go Home mascara.

[@maryabdel-malik656]

[@lorenadavila3161]

I agree Maybelline is one of my favorite mascara brands . I actually picked up the new falsies mascara and this other new one .

[@angiec.874]

I tried the Essence green one but it transfers so much on my lower lash line! It does make my lashes look amazing, though. Out of all the mascaras I’ve tried NOTHING is smudge proof like the Loreal double extend beauty tubes mascara (the red and white). It is impossible for it to transfer. I was just looking for a mascara with one step only... but I think there is none.

[@theizzyresides8823]

did it have the primer and the mascara?

[@angiec.874]

@@theizzyresides8823 the essence was only the mascara, no primer. The loreal had one end (the white) as the other and the other end is the mascara. Also, I recently tried the Maybelline Sky Hight mascara and love it! It does not tansfer on me enter. Just another option to try out and see what works for you. This one is only 1 step, no primer, only the mascara.

Every single one of these smudges on me. Tubular mascaras are where it's at... the Kevyn Acoin volume mascara is my holy trail.

[@julianapurvis3461]

Ainslee R I swear by tubing mascaras too. Thrive has my favorite.

[@LadyLoin]

I also love the MAC one, not for my upper lashes I think the brush is too thin for my upper lashes, but it's a DREAM for the lower lashes and doesn't smudge. Highly, highly recommend for lower lashes! Also the Telescopic from L'oreal, it's great for both upper and lower but especially lower again. For my upper lashes I love the Voluminous Carbon Black by L'Oréal (as another lady mentioned in the comments) and I also recently fell in love with Total Temptation from Maybelline. I actually read reviews on that one just for curiosity and people seem to be divided on that one, many people said they didn't like the formula and it made their lashes clumpy. I love the Total Temptation, it gives so much volume as well as lenght. Awesome mascara IMO. I recently purchased the Snapscara (waterproof) from Maybelline after reading good reviews, excited to try it out...I'm always on the hunt for amazing mascaras since I almost never wear false lashes anymore 😁xx

[@meangirldary91]

I have the black & green Essence mascara. Although it's a great mascara, I wouldn't say it's budge proof. I have fairly long lashes and it does end up smudging under my eyebrows throughout the day. Nothing too bad though and it's not a deal breaker but it does definitely smudge a little bit.

[@johnamorris7379]

Right now the MAC mascara is my HG...makes my lashes look great! Going to try the hour glass, always on the hunt for a good mascara. 🙂

[@AndreiaGomes-bh3jd]

I really enjoyed the Essence mascara, loved the brush, but it smudged on my eyes after a few hours and usually mascaras only do that during summer time or in the end of a loooong day because my lids are a bit oily.

[@carollyn294]

THANK YOU for addressing the smudge factor and different eye types! There are 6 (!) women in my family with small, oily, hooded eyes and every time one of us finds their favorite mascara it gets discontinued (most of us generally circle through Covergirl and Maybelline mascaras). Thank you for listing both the cheaper end of the scale and ones like Tarte that are supposed to be better for you. I’m looking forward to trying these!

The essence works only if you apply a primer, the Milani on the purple bottle does the trick, also the voluminous superstar xfiber in the purple dual tip from L’Oréal would do the trick as well and there’s no smudging or flaking. You will love the results, I have very short and flat lashes.
