Ditch The Raccoon Eyes: Top 5 Eye Liners That Beat the Spring/Summer Heat

Spring is in the air and summer is just around the corner. For us here in LA, this can only mean one thing — heat.

While we may be a fan of the sun, we can all agree that our make up isn’t too fond of it.  Make up lovers everywhere have struggled to find the right beauty products that won’t melt away under warm conditions. In addition to the heat directly melting make up away, hot weather also causes our skin to sweat. The additional sweat and oil from our skin causes make up to smear smudge and run.

While these conditions may seem difficult to deal with, we certainly wouldn’t want you to stay locked inside all spring and summer long, so we’re here to help.

Audrey intern Paulina Lee tried on several eye liners and put them to the heat test. We’re here to share our results with you. Don’t go another day with “raccoon eyes.” Here are the top 5 eye liners that beat the spring/summer heat.
