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

Product Information

Tubing mascaras are meant to provide intense length—something you no doubt want—but they typically don’t help with curling your lashes. That’s why you’ll want to break out your eyelash curler before applying our two-step tubing mascara. Step 2. Apply The Nourishing Base Coat Apply one or two layers of the topcoat to your lashes, being sure to cover every bit of the white base coat. As the mascara sets, the tubes will form, and you won’t have to fear smudging, smearing, or flaking. Since tubing mascaras are known for creating length, you may want to layer them with a volumizing mascara formula and that’s totally okay. You can apply tubing mascara before or after your washable mascara, though we recommend leaving the tubing formula for last to get a smudge-free lash look.

Pros: Waterproof, slim brush that grips even the tiniest lashes, advanced lifting formula, smudge-proof. While waterproof mascara may offer longer staying power than its traditional counterparts, many require a full-force scrub-fest to remove — and even worse, they often claim a few lashes as collateral. Tubing mascaras tend to be gentler: Instead of rigorously wiping your eyes with makeup remover or thoroughly massaging mascara away with cleansing oil, these "tubes" slide off with warm water and some gentle pressure. "Think of it as the saran wrap on your lashes," King says. "They add some bulkiness and are flexible enough to stretch for an eyelash extension look."

Apply the basecoat (the white end), to your lashes, being sure to coat them completely. This step is formulated with nourishing ingredients which help to protect and strengthen lashes, effectively preparing them for tubing. Tubing mascaras contain polymers that wrap around each lash, whereas your standard mascara brushes pigment directly onto your lashes. The perks of using a tubing mascara—and the reasons for their popularity—include the natural-looking, ultra-long look they give to your lashes and the fact that they’re smudge-proof, long-lasting, and easy to remove. In addition, because tubing formulas form tubes around the lashes, they create an even, separated look and are excellent at holding a curl. But the best thing about a tubing mascaras are how easy they are to remove. Put away the micellar water or cleansing oils, all you need is a little warm water and it slides off in little tubes or strips. Contradictory for formulas with such staying power, but it works.
