Oh that’s such a shame – I loved it. I think smudging really depends on how many oils its exposed to – on a bare lid and bare face (with no moisturisers etc) things will hold so much better and I realise that isn’t a practical solution. But it’s worth ensuring that you don’t have eye cream on your lids and directly under your eyes when you wear any liner. I’m sorry you didn’t have a good experience with it.
