I have deep set eyes and stick straight short eyelashes. I've been trying to make an effort to curl my eyelashes and use mascara more often. I really look a lot better with it. I've always used waterproof mascara, because everything else smears. For the past year or so even my waterproof mascara is giving me raccoon eyes. I've switched brands and its still happening. The only thing I can think of is that I'm now using Everyday Minerals? Does anyone have any recommendations or application tips? I'm a novice when it comes to make-up so your help would be appreciated!
