It’s widely recognised that mascara is the most used makeup essential in everyone’s beauty bag and it seems that everyone has their go-to mascara that they’d recommend, but what if we told you there might be a better solution out there? A mascara that doesn’t smudge, doesn’t flake and isn’t a nightmare to remove? Enter the Tubing Mascara!

This revolutionary product is changing the way beauty lovers think about lashes, so upon the launch of the UKLASH Tubing Mascara, we’re here to breakdown what is a tubing mascara, how it works, how to remove and finally share the five reasons why tubing mascara deserves a permanent spot in your makeup bag.

What Is a Tubing Mascara?

Unlike regular mascaras that coat your lashes with pigment, tubing mascara works differently. It wraps each lash in a lightweight polymer “tube” that lengthens and defines while locking out smudges and flakes.

So, how does tubing mascara work? Think of it as giving your lashes their own protective cocoon; flexible, long-lasting, and resistant to the sweat, tears, and humidity that usually ruin mascara.

What Is Tubing Mascara Made Of?

So you might be asking yourself, what is tubing mascara made of? And how does its formula work to avoid panda-eyes and not react to sweat, rain and tears?

Here’s the breakdown:
○ Polymers - These are the clever science that creates the signature lash-hugging tubes.
○ Nourishing Conditioners - In the UKLASH Tubing Mascara we include Arginine and Shea butter to help strengthen and protect lashes to support your natural lash journey alongside our Eyelash Serums.
○ Lightweight Colour Pigments - In the case of the UKLASH Tubing Mascara, we have the warm tones of the Mocha Brown Tubing Mascara or the classic Americano Black Tubing Mascara.

Because tubing mascara avoids heavy waxes and oils, it feels featherlight while still delivering dramatic results. It’s also gentle enough for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers.

What Makes It Different From Regular Mascara?

The difference is all in the wear and removal. Traditional mascaras rely on waxes and oils to paint lashes, meaning they’re liable to clump, smudge, flake or give you the panda-eye look by midday. Tubing mascaras create sealed tubes that cling to each lash until you decide to take them off.

The Tubing Mascara’s innovative formula means uou can achieve a smudge-proof finish, long-lasting curl and a fuss-free removal to continue on your natural lash journey without causing any unnecessary lash damage!

How To Apply Tubing Mascara

Applying tubing mascara is quick and easy!

  1. Start with a base of clean, dry lashes.
  2. Use a lash curler for extra lift.
  3. Wiggle the wand at the lash base and swipe upwards to coat each lash
  4. Apply again whilst wet to layer up for more length or volume.

Whether you choose brown tubing mascara for a soft, natural look or black tubing mascara for a bold, dramatic effect, the result is defined lashes that won’t let you down.

How To Remove Tubing Mascara

One of the best things about Tubing Mascara is the easy, fuss-free removal! No makeup remover needed! 

  1. Use warm water and gentle pressure to swipe the mascara away with your eye closed, from root to tip.
  2. Use a soft cloth to wipe away any remaining residue from your cheeks and it’s as simple as that! No scrubbing, no residue, and no lash damage. This is one of the reasons tubing mascara has become a go-to for everyday wear.

Is Tubing Mascara Waterproof?

Yes - the UKLASH Tubing Mascara is waterproof! This might seem confusing given that you can remove it with warm water, but the key is the polymers in the Tubing Mascara formula aren’t reactive to sweat, tears or cool water but are heat-and-pressure-activated. 
The heat softens the bond, and the slight pressure helps the tubes slide off whole, doing minimal damage to your lashes and helping to keep them protected all day long!

In short, tubing mascaras deliver waterproof-level wear without the nightmare of waterproof removal.

5 Reasons the UKLASH Tubing Mascara Is Your New Makeup Must-Have

  1. It’s Your New Natural Lash Supporter - Aswell as minimising lash damage by being easy to remove, it’s also packed with nourishing ingredients like Arginine and Shea Butter that help to condition and promote healthier-looking lashes from root to tip
  2. Smudge-Free Confidence - Its polymer formula means that it will last all day without smudging or flaking! It’s a mascara you can rely on no matter what the day throws at you
  3. Choose Your Colour - It’s the first UKLASH mascara to arrive in two colours! So choose the Mocha Brown Tubing Mascara if you’re looking for a more subtle, day-to-day mascara and Americano Black Tubing Mascara if you want to amp up the drama and definition!
  4. No Lash Left Behind - Its innovative silicone pine cone wand is shaped specifically to reach every single lash! That means you get even coverage and a more striking lash look!
  5. It’s a Lazy Girl Makeup Hack! - We all know that leaving mascara on overnight is one of the main contributing factors to lash breakage. The UKLASH Tubing Mascara is so easy to remove that you can take it off whenever, no matter how lazy you’re feeling.
