I need help finding a drugstore mascara that won’t pass in front of my eyes. I love the Essence Lash Princess for the look of my lashes, but it still smudges and transfers to me, even the waterproof version 😫 what are the recommendations you lucked out with?

I was going to do this exact post!
So I’m following this too and I’m using the essence one too, it’s definitely not waterproof 🙄
Following this thread, because I have tried a ton of waterproof mascaras and I always get tons of transfer under my eyes.
I have dry eyes and glaucoma, so I put all sorts of ointment and drops in my eyes which means most mascaras don’t work for me–even waterproof. I’ve moved on to tubing mascaras. The one I use most is l’oreal, double extend. It comes off with water, but doesn’t collect under my eyes. My favorite is made by blinc though, with the primer. Head and shoulders above any others I’ve found. It’s just too pricey for a daily mascara for me though.
Maybelline ‘the falsies’ waterproof version is amazing x
Lash paradise in waterproof refuses to transfer
