Trish McEvoy High Volume Mascara, Black.18 oz/5 g

Product Information

Yes! Both because the shiny silicon-based formula is easy on lashes AND because you never fight to remove it, which also makes it kinder to skin around the eyes." Warm water while I wash my face! I cup my hands and submerge my face to get lashes nice and soaked. Then I gently drag my ring fingers down over closed lids and remove the mascara in single sheets of traceless tubes. It’s that easy."

The good thing about tubing mascara is that it doesn’t come off until you want to take it off . “Typically, I would use cotton, lukewarm water, or micellar water, hold it against the eye for 30 seconds to a minute and wipe it away,” Celebrity Makeup Artist Bobbie Riley tells InStyle. “You can also use Sensi’Eyes by Makeup Forever” — a waterproof, sensitive eye cleanser —- “and remove with a q-tip,” says Riley.Tubing mascaras are similar to waterproof but are water resistant instead of waterproof,” Professional Makeup Artist Elisa Flowers tells InStyle. A tubing mascara formula has polymers surrounding the lash, creating a tube. “The tubes add length, definition, and volume to each lash,” Flowers adds. What are the benefits of tubing mascara? According to Flowers, you should add a tubing mascara to your beauty shelf because of how well it lasts: “Lashes stay coated without smearing, flaking, plus tubing mascara’s formula is water resistant. You can get caught in the rain, rub your eyes, have a sweaty workout, have allergies — maybe even cry at a movie. Still, no raccoon eyes! Tubing mascara is also smudge-proof, meaning it doesn’t smear and transfer all over the eyes. Plus, it won’t dry out eyelashes like harsher waterproof formulas.” The designer began her beauty education at the age of five, when she would play in her grandmother's Berlin-based perfumery. Here she witnessed the special bond between her grandmother and her clients, who trusted her to make them feel their best. It was this intention – to help people celebrate themselves – that was the driving force behind Trish's namesake label. It's a passion that remains at the heart of the brand today, evidenced by a focus on simple make-up tools and formulas designed for people with time-pressed lives. The next question is, “What’s that?” And if you’re asking the same thing, you’re not alone. As soon as I heard the phrase “tubing mascara,” I thought, “Like, the ones that come in tubes? Don’t they all?” That’s until Professional Makeup Artist Bobbie Riley set me straight. Create dramatic or subtle looks with innovative products from Trish McEvoy cosmetics. The American brand is the result of its founder's passion and expertise, and has been offering pioneering make-up, skin care and beauty tools for over forty years. Trish and her dermatologist husband established the world's first medi-spa, helping clients of all ages to find confidence and enhance their natural beauty. Each piece in this collection is designed to do the same.

So, now that you know the benefits of a good tubing mascara, it’s time to invest in a quality product that meets your lash needs, from lifting to lengthening; volumizing to conditioning; for those prone to oily eyelids or those looking to add a pop of color to their eye routine. While Kevyn Aucoin’s ‘The Volume Mascara’ earns our top spot because it covers almost all of the above, there are plenty of other brag-worthy options.

Panda eyes begone! There's a new generation of tubing mascaras, the saviour for those who can't bear the flaking, smudging or sometimes-impossible to budge removal of traditional mascara formulas. A tubing mascara has polymers that wrap around the individual coat and lengthen the lash,” Bobbie tells InStyle. “It lifts, lengthens, doesn’t transfer, and gives the eye a ‘more awake’ look.” She details that, unlike typical wax-based formulas, tubing mascara comes off with warm water with the help of thermal-sensitive technology. That’s right — no more intense scrubbing or buffing with cleanser and makeup wipes and, most importantly, no leftover residue.
