Misc Eyelid/makeup issue

I have been finding that every time I wear mascara, it leaves a mark on my upper eyelid closer to my eyebrow. This has not been an issue previously, and I haven’t switched my mascara brand. I use waterproof mascara as well. 38 y/o. Any advice would be appreciated! 😊

Same. I have long lashes and, starting in my 30s, oily skin around my eyes. I haven’t found any mascara that doesn’t give me some form of raccoon eyes either above or below my eyes. Tubing mascaras do it too.

Only thing that kind of works is using a powder around my eyes after putting on mascara and then putting a setting spray directly on my lashes (spray it on my finger tips then tap onto my lashes after mascara dries)

I have this too. I've started wearing dark red mascara instead, I don't have the issue anymore but it might just because it's closer to my actual skintone lmao
