Summertime might as well be renamed “Smudging Time” as far as I’m concerned. It’s a common sight of summer – the heat and humidity can wipe out an entire face full of makeup lickety-split. But if there is one makeup essential I refuse to leave my domain without, it’s mascara. Seriously, my lashes (which are loooong, but sparse) disappear without it. So it is of utmost importance to keep that ’scara on my fringe, agreed?

Now while most of us know to start at the base of the lash and gently work our way from root to tip, what happens when you get to the tip and end up smudging onto your lid? The lid that happens to hold your painstakingly applied concealer and shadow, both base and accent colors. The lid that took you ages to perfect and seconds to destroy? Yeah, that one.

Well, here’s a tip I learned from Woman’s World magazine that I will now use ’til the end of time. Give it a try – it’s as close to miraculous as falsies (lashes, that is. Not boobs.)

Before wanding up, grab a simple Post-It note and apply it to your lid. Swipe on your mascara, allowing any erroneous inkings to end up on the paper and not your flesh, let the mascara dry, and voila! Just don’t forget to remove the paper, or you’ll have bigger problems than ink on your eyelid.

Great tip, eh?
