I so know what you mean. I was in the same boat as you until I tried Revlon Colorstay!!































The liquid liner lasts longer than the crayon one (crayons melt in warm weather) - however, both will last 8-10 hrs. The liquid 12... for sure!































Powder your lids BEFORE you apply it and after it dries completely, powder lightly again.































It works for me and I've not been disappointed... or smudgy!































Good luck!
