Check out a TikTok of the E.l.f. tubing mascara in action. 

I can confirm that it STAYS put on my lashes until I want it gone. (Even the best of waterproof mascaras make me look like a raccoon after a few hours.) Then, it’s super easy to remove the “tubes” with a few gentle swipes. I’ll be buying this stuff again and as long as they make it. 

Here’s Emma Lord‘s review that convinced me: 

“I am not a new human to the tubing mascara game, and in fact readily spent $26 on the famous OG blend from Blinc every time it needed replacing. I didn’t even love it for the length half as much as the fact that tubing mascara like this genuinely never smudges, but can I just say — regardless of price, the E.l.f. tubing mascara formula blows all the others I’ve tried out of the water. It gives me way more length and volume than other brands, slides on so much more easily, stays put ALL day, and never, ever smudges. My favorite part, though, is how gently and easily it comes off with soap and water. In the past, other mascara removals have felt rough on my lashes, but this comes off so fast that I’m like ??? was I even wearing mascara a minute ago?? Anyway, I hesitate even writing this review because I want to gatekeep the hell out of this before it sells out, but the world needed to know. I’m a big fan of the brown shade (which is what I’m wearing above!), but it also comes in black and soft black.” 

Get it from Amazon for $7 (available in three shades).

Promising review: “I’ve used Thrive Causemetics for quite a while and always had trouble with it flaking and clumping. I always just chalked it up to something that I’d deal with when using a tubing mascara or something I was doing when applying but E.l.f. says: ‘NOT the case!’ My mind is blown that a $7 mascara is so amazing. I never have to deal with flakes sticking to my contacts after applying or clean any makeup out of my eyes at the end of the day anymore! I thought it was a fluke when I first started using it, but it’s been weeks now and stayed consistent. It looks amazing, lashes are longer, fuller, and separated — I’m so happy I tried it, and you will be too!” —Adel Richardson
