Tubing Mascara: How waterproof is it really?

• Is tubing mascara waterproof?
• How water-resistant is tubing mascara?
• Suitable for everyday use?

• Tubing mascara is resistant to tears, sweat, and moisture.
• Tubing mascara is not resistant to showering or prolonged immersion.
• Ideal for sensitive skin, lash protection, and contact lens wearers.

No, tubing mascara is not completely waterproof as you may be used to with regular waterproof mascaras.

Tubing mascara is resistant to sweat and rain. However, prolonged contact with water will cause the mascara to smudge. This is not a flaw in the formula, but a deliberate choice.

Unlike traditional waterproof mascaras, which often use wax and oil, tubing mascara works with polymers such as acrylates copolymer. These form a flexible sleeve around your lashes. This keeps the formula in place in humid conditions, but allows it to release when you use warm water.

Tubing mascara is waterproof, making it ideal for:

Conditions or activities that involve moderate amounts of water, such as dancing, sports, rafting, or shedding a tear (we have tested this).

But not ideal for:

Showering, swimming, or prolonged immersion.

Users about tubing Mascara

Users call tubing mascaras "the only option that really doesn't smudge," with extra praise for how easy they are to remove. The difference is especially noticeable during allergy seasons or stressful days.

No panda eyes:

A good mascara allows you to get through the day without worrying about smudges, flaking, or panda eyes. Even after a long day at work, a workout, or an emotional moment, your lashes will stay neatly in place. The tubes stay put until you consciously choose to remove them.

No smudging:

The microtubes adhere firmly to your lashes and stay in place all day without smudging. So you don't need to touch up or check for smudges. Unlike traditional waterproof mascaras, they don't leave your lashes looking brittle after a whole day.

Long-term fixation:

Polymers such as acrylates copolymer have been developed to remain flexible and resistant to moisture. They coat the lashes without suffocating them, resulting in a natural look with long-lasting hold.

Safer for sensitive eyes

Because you don't need oil or friction to remove the product, tubing mascara is particularly suitable for sensitive eyes or contact lens wearers. The risk of irritation is significantly lower than with traditional waterproof mascara.

Tubing mascara is water-resistant, but not waterproof in the traditional sense. It is less suitable for intense contact with water, such as swimming. However, this formula offers a smart, skin-friendly way to define your lashes without compromise.

Enjoy a long-lasting, smudge-proof finish that won't smear or flake throughout the day. And when it's time to remove your makeup, the mascara comes off with nothing more than warm water. No remover, no friction, no damage. Conscious application and timely removal remain essential.
