Raccoons eat garbage and have tails. You don't. So why end up looking like one at the end of the day?

Sweltering temperatures can cause your eye makeup to slide down your face even faster than normal, but you can prevent such mudslides with Reverse Eyeliner, another ingenious little product from the always innovative DuWop.

Reverse Eyeliner is a colorless pencil packed with vitamin E, macadamia oil, and fine line plumpers, designed to act as a barrier between your eye makeup and the rest of your face. Trace a line below your lower lash line and outward at the corners, and Reverse Eyeliner keeps your smoky eye in its place all day.

This has been an indispensible step in my daily routine since the weather began heating up here in NYC. Even after a day of squinting, sweating, and of course lots of blinking, my trademark rim of eyeliner - black on the bottom, navy or eggplant on the top - doesn't budge.

Available at Beautyhabit and Sephora, among others.
