L'Oreal Paris Double Extend Beauty Tubes Mascara, Black, 0.33 Ounces

Product Information

If you've given them a go before, you may already be familiar with the oddly satisfying visual of your lashes appearing to shed, like snakeskin, while your real lashes thankfully stay intact. (On the other hand, if this is your first try, don't freak out when you see lash-like, little tubes going down the drain!) One popular option, in my opinion, is the L'Oréal Double Extend Beauty Tubes Mascara , which provides both length and volume through a two-step process." — Seropian Pros: Smudge-proof, flake-free tubing technology, contains an orchid stem cell complex that encourages longer lash growth. Editor Tip: You only have about 60 to 90 seconds to apply this stuff before it dries down and becomes un-buildable, so it's not ideal for topping up during the day.

On the other hand, tubing mascara uses a polymer that wraps around each lash to create a tube, hence the name. The tubes flake less, last long, are water-resistant, and are great for those with sensitive skin. Tubing mascara is also so easy to remove—just soak a cotton round in warm water, and the little tubes will slide right off. (FYI, they are water-resistant to cold water, but not to warm, hence the easy removal.) Your new go-to product? This tubing mascara. Not only do the short, dense bristles grip and lift every lash, but they also work to separate and coat ’em. The result? Lashes that are defined but still look natural.

We all dream of it: Having long, voluminous natural lashes. Now, it's possible to bring that dream closer to reality with the innovative technology of tubing mascara. Though you can also get that dramatic look with fake lashes and lash extensions from brands like Lashify or magentic lashes, the benefit of using a tubing mascara is that it's easy and simple (all you do is swipe it onto your lashes as you would with any other product, and the tubing technology does the rest of the work). "Unlike traditional wax-based mascaras, this technology does not adhere/glue to a hair fiber," says Good Housekeeping Beauty, Health & Sustainability Lab Senior Chemist Sabina Wizemann. "Instead, it encapsulates individual lashes by forming a tube-like coating." This results in excellent lengthening effects and more intense color. Blinc's tubing formula is a classic and forms tiny water-resistant tubes around your lashes for maximum amplification and hold. Once applied, the tiny tubes don't run, smudge, flake, or clump. Pros: Amplifies lash length for a fuller, more dramatic appearance, enriched with polymer fibers that add volume without smudging or flaking, contains vitamin E to condition lashes.

And when you’re ready to remove it, you can simply splash water onto your face and smooth the tubes away from your lashes using your fingertips. If you prefer soaking a cotton pad with eye makeup remover and sweeping away your mascara, you don’t have to totally change your routine. All you have to do is swap out the makeup remover with more warm water or micellar water like the L’Orѐal Paris Micellar Cleansing Water Complete Cleanser Waterproof- For All Skin Types . Pros: Provides up to 24 hours of wear, flake-free, smudge-proof, includes shea butter, castor oil, and carnauba wax to hydrate lashes and encourage healthy growth. This is my absolute favorite tubing formula. Like I mentioned above, it was hard for me to find a mascara of this type that actually worked well for me, but this one is it. Many mascaras claim to be smudge-proof and non-clumpy, but this one really holds up to those claims, with or without primer. It's truly a miracle in a tube. I'm also not the only one who loves it. Seropian also says it tops her favorites list. Pros: Wax-free formula glides onto the lashes with ease, clump-free, easy to remove, provides intense color to the lashes, budget-friendly.This three-in-one tubing mascara gives your lashes lift and length, keeps them shiny and healthy thanks to ashwagandha (a plant-based ingredient rich in antioxidants), and strengthens your natural lashes with a peptide complex too.
