Do you find that your mascara smudges or flakes throughout the day and you’re left with the dreaded racoon eyes? It might be time to switch to a tubing mascara!

Unlike regular mascaras, tubing mascaras coat each lash in tiny, water-resistant “tubes” that stay put all day, giving you longer-looking, smudge-free lashes. They’re also perfect as a top coat to “set” your favourite mascara!

“Most of the mascaras on the market will be using wax or oil ingredients where you will be painting layers of pigment onto the lashes. Tubing mascara formula is made of polymers and is much better as it coats each individual lash, just like “tube”. Lashes then look more natural and stay put better. Tubing mascara is easier to remove therefore is better for sensitive eyes,” says Milena Thacker, Be at One Co founder and make up artist.

How do tubing mascaras work?

Tubing mascaras use something called ‘polymers’, often included on ingredients lists as polyvinylpyrrolidone.

They act by creating a film around your lashes, encapsulating them. They wrap around the lash, helping to make them look longer too.

Removal is simple, too!

It’s a little more tricky than removing regular mascara, you do it by gently removing with warm water. The mascara will slide off the lashes in tubes or little clumps. It’s less irritating on the eyes as you don’t have to rub the skin with makeup remove. It’s gentle on the eyes, making it an ideal choice for those with sensitive skin for contact lenses.
