it's because you're not letting it dry and are putting too much on.
when you do this, and blink, your eyelashes hit the brow bone and leave marks where it's been.

put on a thin layer of mascara and allow 5 minutes to dry. then if needed apply another and allow to dry., it should be fine.
also, apply foundation or cream to the eyelids before applying mascara, it makes it easier to wipe off if it still happens.

• she laq by benefit is amazing. its a makeup sealer and u can use it on ur eyeliner, eyeshadow, mascara, lips, blusher...anything (dont put it all over ur face though!) it is quite expensive but mine has lasted over 6 months using it most days. the one thing is it changes the appearance of ur makeup, the eyeshadow and eyeliner look more like paint, but i dont mind it

• I know the mascara was expensive enough but the only wearing a lash prime, like MAC's will help the mascara to stay. Otherwise you will have to buy another mascara, or just try to return it and tell them the reason why...you should not pay so much for something that will smudge.

• After you have applied it wait for about 10 seconds before blinking properly, this will give it time to dry .. if your talking about just through the day.. buy a cheap but goodish waterproof mascara just to put over the top, this should stop it smudging! :)

• Try letting it dry between layers when putting it on, or even gently closing your eyes for 5 minutes.
  Have a word with their rep on the make-up counter where you bought it, or a big branch of Boots/department store where they sell it.
• Try to let your eyelashes dry before blinking or moving your eyes up and down. Probably sounds weird but this is when you get those lash lines on your brow

• buy a better water proof mascara....or have you tryed putting a clear mascara over the top....have never tried it but i could be like nail varnish creating a stonger layer
  
  
  try it :)
• let each coat dry fully before opening your eyes wide. put clear mascara on top and let that dry aswell.
  i woulnt get a new one if it was expensive
• Most water proof mascara could do the trick.
