Removing Tubing Mascara: A Step-by-Step Guide

Removing Tubing Mascara: A Step-by-Step Guide

Tubing mascara is an innovative kind of eye makeup that’s loved by countless NZ makeup enthusiasts. This specialised mascara wraps each lash in a tiny tube, rather than coating lashes with pigment and waxes. These tiny tubes are smudge-proof, flake-resistant and water-resistant. 

Why Choose Tubing Mascara?

This unique version of mascara has so many benefits:

  • Smudge-Proof. Tubing mascara helps NZ makeup enthusiasts avoid accidental messes because it’s smudge-proof. Don’t worry about smudges, streaks or mascara marks around your eyes, these water-resistant tubes are meant to stay on your lashes until you need to take them off. 

  • Long-Lasting. Once applied and dried, these tubes are resistant to humidity, sweat and oils, so tubing mascara is excellent for long wear. This makes tubing mascara great for people who want to look fabulous all day. 

  • Great For Sensitive Eyes. Choose non-irritating mascaras if you want to avoid uncomfortable side effects or if you have sensitive eyes or skin. You can also avoid using potentially irritating makeup removers, because tubing mascara requires only warm water to take off. 

Tubing mascara is excellent for any kind of person. It can be used on lashes of any length and is easy to apply and remove. If you find that your traditional mascara is constantly smudging or transferring to your skin, consider tubing mascara instead. Tubing mascara is especially ideal for NZ because it’s water-resistant and long-lasting, and New Zealand is prone to humidity.

Before you apply, make sure to clean and dry your lashes for good adhesion. Remember to curl your lashes beforehand if needed.

You can apply tubing mascara the same way you’d apply other kinds of mascara, except you should wiggle the wand very slightly from side to side when you apply. This helps coat each individual lash. Swipe the wand from base to tip. You can build your mascara coverage to suit your desired style.

How To Remove Your Tubing Mascara

Tubing mascara is ideal for NZ residents on the go because of its long-lasting, smudge-proof nature, but this robustness might also make you wonder how you’re supposed to get it off. If it’s so resistant to smudging and more, how do you get it off when you’re winding down for the day?

Don’t worry, tubing mascara is actually very easy to get off when you know how to do it. These mascaras don’t require makeup remover, so don’t try to use standard makeup remover or wipes on your eyes. 

Follow these steps to get the mascara off of your lashes:

Step 1: Soak Your Eyelashes With Warm Water. The first step is to use warm water on your lashes to loosen the mascara tubes. You can do this by soaking a washcloth or cloth pad with warm water and then gently holding it over your eyes for about 30 seconds.

Ensure your lashes are thoroughly soaked through with the warm water so that each tube can be properly loosened.

Step 2: Gently Slide The Mascara Tubes Off. Once you’ve soaked your lashes in warm water, you can use your fingertips to softly massage your lashes. The mascara will come off in small tubes, rather than smearing or smudging like traditional mascara.

Remember that being gentle is key; rough force might damage your lashes or irritate your skin or eyes. If your tubing mascara isn’t coming off, then redo step 1 and soak your lashes again with warm water. 

Check your lashes in the mirror after you are finished removing the tubes to make sure you got all of the mascara off. 

Using tubing mascara for the first time can be alarming for NZ makeup users because you may initially think that you’ve taken some eyelashes out with the tubes. Don’t worry, this method gently removes the tubes while leaving your lashes nice and intact. 

Step 3: Rinse With Water. Once you’ve removed all of the tubes, rinse your face and lashes with warm water to remove any remaining tubes. 

Tubing mascara leaves no tint or residue behind, making it healthier for your eyes and lashes. 

Step 4: Pat Dry And Continue Your Skincare Routine. Once your mascara is removed and you’ve wiped away any remaining tubes on your skin, you can pat your face dry and continue with your skincare routine.
