Tubing mascara is a type of mascara that uses a formula of polymers to wrap around each individual lash, creating a tube that wont budge. Unlike regular mascara, which contains pigments, oils, and wax and is designed to be brushed over your lashes to coat them, tubing mascaras contain polymers that wrap around each individual lash to create a tube. The result is all-day lashes with an even, enhanced finish that wont smudge or flake. Tubing mascaras are more stable and difficult for the faces oils to break down, and they dry quickly and stay securely in place. They are also easy to remove with just warm water and a flannel. The best way to apply tubing mascara is to get the brush as close to the roots of your lashes and wiggle the wand left-to-right as you sweep upwards.
