Many women know what bad mascara can do to their day; it can ruin it by clumping their eyelashes into a spidery mess. Nevertheless, you don’t have to be a victim. With hundreds of brands to choose from, we selected a few options that are truly great and tested. But first, let us consider what tubing mascara is.

What is Tubing Mascara?

Leaving your eyelashes with a bolder look, tubing mascara differs from other traditional mascaras by coating a layer of microfibers around the eyelashes to form a flexible tube that grips on. These tubes are flexible, lightweight, and can lengthen your eyelashes. Unlike traditional mascara that easily smudges, tubing mascaras usually stays put until it is washed out with warm water. Tubing mascara is much sought after because, unlike other traditional mascaras, it is smudge-proof.

Who is Tubing Mascara Ideal for?

Although they are becoming increasingly popular, not many women have tried tubing mascaras before. There are two reasons for you to use tubing mascaras. The first is that if you hate to use too many beauty products on your face, then tubing mascara might be a wise option. That’s because it offers a gentler alternative to the traditional makeup removal process. You don’t need to use balm oil; hot water will do the trick.

Another reason to consider using tubing mascara is that if you are prone to watery eyes, tubing mascara might be your first choice, as it doesn’t smudge easily. If you are a frequent crier or you suffer from hay fever or other tearful conditions, then using tubing mascara might be the ideal option for you to use.
