Traditionally they don't give a lightweight fluffy look (if that's what you're after), but can be built up to give impressive length, definition and drama. They're truly smudge free, meaning you won't end up with pigment all over your brow bone or shadows of soot under the eyes,

Are you wearing fake lashes?” is the five-word question that every mascara wearer wants to hear. Even more so, it’s one they want to answer —- because giving an unheard beauty recommendation is like revealing a good secret. With an eager ear listening, the makeup wearer will bat an (effortlessly lifted) eye, lean forward, and tell you, “Oh, it’s just tubing mascara!” You don’t build in layers but rather in your application. You place the wand at the roots then wiggle it in a side-to-side motion up through the tips."

The next question is, “What’s that?” And if you’re asking the same thing, you’re not alone. As soon as I heard the phrase “tubing mascara,” I thought, “Like, the ones that come in tubes? Don’t they all?” That’s until Professional Makeup Artist Bobbie Riley set me straight.A tubing mascara has polymers that wrap around the individual coat and lengthen the lash,” Bobbie tells InStyle. “It lifts, lengthens, doesn’t transfer, and gives the eye a ‘more awake’ look.” She details that, unlike typical wax-based formulas, tubing mascara comes off with warm water with the help of thermal-sensitive technology. That’s right — no more intense scrubbing or buffing with cleanser and makeup wipes and, most importantly, no leftover residue. The good thing about tubing mascara is that it doesn’t come off until you want to take it off . “Typically, I would use cotton, lukewarm water, or micellar water, hold it against the eye for 30 seconds to a minute and wipe it away,” Celebrity Makeup Artist Bobbie Riley tells InStyle. “You can also use Sensi’Eyes by Makeup Forever” — a waterproof, sensitive eye cleanser —- “and remove with a q-tip,” says Riley. You know how you’re supposed to set an intention during a yoga class? Like, when your instructor asks you to think, “Right now, what does my body need?” The same idea applies to mascara — expect sub “body” for “lash line”. Every unique eye needs a just-as-unique formula depending on your shape, sensitivity, lash, or eye color. Most tubing mascaras reveal their aim right on the label, whether lengthening, conditioning, or a 100 percent natural product. Tubing mascaras are similar to waterproof but are water resistant instead of waterproof,” Professional Makeup Artist Elisa Flowers tells InStyle. A tubing mascara formula has polymers surrounding the lash, creating a tube. “The tubes add length, definition, and volume to each lash,” Flowers adds. What are the benefits of tubing mascara?

You can get caught in the rain, rub your eyes, have a sweaty workout, have allergies — maybe even cry at a movie. Still, no raccoon eyes! Tubing mascara is also smudge-proof, meaning it doesn’t smear and transfer all over the eyes. Plus, it won’t dry out eyelashes like harsher waterproof formulas.” We spoke to renowned makeup artist and founder of Trish McEvoy Beauty, Trish McEvoy for her expert opinion on these brilliant formulas.So, now that you know the benefits of a good tubing mascara, it’s time to invest in a quality product that meets your lash needs, from lifting to lengthening; volumizing to conditioning; for those prone to oily eyelids or those looking to add a pop of color to their eye routine.
