15 Best Tubing Mascaras That Won't Smudge, Tested & Reviewed 2024

Know how to identify a tubing mascara

Tbh, I still sometimes struggle to identify which mascaras are tubing mascaras. Other than the ones labeled as such, it can be tricky to determine. To do so, take a look at the ingredients—if they include propanediol, 10 dimethicone, polysilicon-11, cera alba, or glyceryl stearate, congrats! Those are polymers, and that is indeed a tubing mascara. Another way? Take note when you wash your face—if you're left with the notorious raccoon eyes, it's conventional mascara.

Think about the brush size and shape

As makeup artist Jenna Nicole mentioned, the main factor that contributes to the results of your lashes is the brush. "A fat and fluffy applicator will give you voluminous, fat, and fluffy lashes," Nicole has told Cosmo, adding that "a long, skinny, more-precise wand will give you long, skinny, clump-free lashes."
