Mascara That Doesn't Smudge

Can any one recommend one please.
I've bought 2 recently Rimmel and Boots but both smudge really badly.
I'm conscious I do rub my eyes occasionally, which obviously doesn't help. However, a lot of the time I end up looking like a panda anyway.
Thank you

My lashes are long but dead straight. I don't fancy using a heated or non-heated eyelash curler very near my eyes so have to rely on a mascara instead.

Sardinia2020 - I have just bought Maybelline Sky High in an attempt to find a mascara that lifts and curls my lashes. I haven't tried it yet.

I'd be interested to hear from anyone with the same kind of eyelashes who has found a mascara that comes in brown and doesn't clump or flake off after a few hours.

Benefit Roller Lash comes in black or brown, lifts and doesn’t smudge.

I go between the above and Lancôme Hypnoise, which also comes in different shades.

Lancôme Idole works well for me. It has a curved brush which curls my lashes upwards nicely. It says on very well but is not difficult to remove. I found tubing mascara hard to get off and I am aware of loooking after my lashes before they start disappearing with everything else!
I have read a couple of articles which recommend against using waterproof mascara unless you really do need it for swimming, et cetera because it is hard to remove.

Elf Tubing mascara, the one with a teal-green lid. Every other mascara smudges on ke, but this one doesn't. DD loves it as well.
