Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky Tubes
Price: About £9 to £14Not waterproofTubingBest for: Budget tubing mascara

A tubing formula, so it sets into little tubes round each lash and comes off with warm water. It is a popular drugstore way to try tubing without paying luxury prices.

Pros

  • Tubing formula: no smudging, flaking or panda eyes
  • Removes with warm water
  • Cheap enough to try

Cons

  • Not suitable if you want a wet, glossy look
  • Tubes can take a little warm water and patience to remove

Who it suits

Anyone who gets panda eyes by lunchtime, contact lens wearers and people with sensitive eyes who want an easy-removal formula without paying luxury prices.

Who should skip it

Anyone who wants a wet, glossy, high-shine finish. Tubing formulas set into dry little sleeves around each lash, which gives a clean, defined look rather than a lacquered one.

Good to know

Tubing mascara forms small, flexible tubes around each lash instead of coating it like paint. That is why it resists smudging and flaking and then comes off with warm water. To remove it, hold a warm, wet cotton pad over your closed eye for 10 to 20 seconds, then slide the tubes off gently. Rubbing with a dry pad will not work and will irritate your eyes.
