What Is Tubing Mascara?

Tubing mascara uses innovative polymer technology to wrap each lash in lightweight, flexible ‘tubes’ that resist smudging, flaking, and running. It's long-lasting, life-proof, and slides off effortlessly with warm water. In short: Tubing mascara forms water-resistant tubes around each lash, offering lift, volume, and easy removal without harsh rubbing. For a deeper understanding, read our full explainer: What is Tubing Tubing Mascara?


What Is Regular Mascara?

Traditional mascara coats lashes with pigment-based formulas. These formulas can be water-based or waterproof, but are more prone to smudging, flaking, and difficult removal, especially when facing long days, humidity, or sensitive eyes.

While regular mascaras offer great drama and volume, they often require tough makeup removers and more lash friction to take off, hindering your lash health.
