Never heard of it? Well that's 'cuz I made it up.......sort of.  It's my description for eyes that eat makeup and melt it off underneath.  


These eyes can ruin anything from eyeliner to mascara and even under eye concealer. Those of us who suffer from hot lids know just how frustrating this can be. You're always checking for that unseemly smudging of black that looks more walk of shame than walk of fame. 

I've got news for you, it doesn't have to be this way, yay! Here are a few little tricks I have picked up. Now, you may only need to use one tip but for those of you whose lids run a rampant temp you may need to employ all tactics.

Tip One: Powder. It is the under eyes BFF. It will help create a barrier against wax and emollient based products so they in turn stay on their own stomping ground. Under eye concealers wont crease and eye liners won't bleed.

Tip Two: Tube Mascaras. They don't melt and move like mascaras (yes even waterproof ones)  They need warm water for removal and therefore are a great long wearing alternative for us hot lid sufferers.

Tip Three: Eyeshadow Bases: These provide a base for eyeshadow to adhere to and thus maintain their just applied look and feel.
