Stop mascara from smudging?!?

So hopefully someone out there has an answer for me!

So it seems like literally every mascara smudges on me. Ive tried not putting it on my bottom lashes, I've tried using/not using concealer under my eyes and I've tried various waterproof/non waterproof high an low end brands but no matter what I do I end up with raccoon smudges underneath my eyes barely two hours after putting it on! Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Have you tried MUFE Smokey Lash Aqua? That stuff NEVER smudges on me... it's a pain to take off, but worth every penny to me!

You also might want to try curling your lashes more thoroughly? Drier formulas keep lashes curled VS. wet ones that will weigh down your lashes, causing them to rub on your skin and transfer. Although some people may dislike the MUFE mascara because it's expensive and dries out too fast, the dryness is actually a good thing in this case.

I also cheat a little by smoking out my lower lashline just to make sure if ever there is any transfer w/ any other mascara I'm using, you can't see it.  =P

Soma- I don't mind spending extra money if the product is actually worth it, I think I will definitely have to give it a try.

Terra- I have not. Well not since years ago when they first became popular my eyelashes looked so clumpy...I'm guessing they have improved since then. Is there one out there thats better than the rest?

if you apply a layer of your fav mascara and then top it with a waterproof one, it should lock it onto your lashes. as for bottom lashes, i really love cliniques bottom lash. i never get a smudge with it so it might be worth a try. it's $10 so not too expensive. try to apply shadow when you use mascara. smudge it into your lashline so if your mascara starts to bleed, it has somewhere to bleed into and stop it. hope that helps!
