6 Drugstore Tubing Mascaras You Need to Try

By: Alanna Martine Kilkeary | Makeup.com by L'Oréal

Contrary to first glance, mascara is one of the most varied makeup products out there. Between fiber mascaras, primers, volume- or length-enhancing formulas, there are a lot of options to try. Lately, however, we’ve been loving tubing mascaras. They work differently than other formulas because they form a tube around each lash and slip off easily with warm water. Ahead, we rounded up six of our favorites (all available at the drugstore and super affordable!) that you have to add to your eye makeup stash, STAT — you won’t regret it.

Maybelline New York Snapscara Washable Mascara

This washable mascara is one of our go-tos for the warmer months, thanks to its clump-free, lightweight formula. It makes lashes appear long, clean and wispy — exactly what you want out of a tubing formula. Plus, it literally washes off in a snap!

L’Oréal Paris Voluminous X Fiber Mascara

The Voluminous X Fiber Mascara is a cult favorite for good reason. This dual-ended brush allows you to build the tubes over each lash easily and coats them in color right after. This one works to build volume just as much as length.

Essence Volume Stylist Lash Extension 18H Mascara

This lash-extension fiber mascara is a drugstore gem because it works in just a few swipes. At $5, it gives you the best bang for your buck and offers double-take worthy length.

Maybelline New York Illegal Length Fiber Extensions Washable Mascara

Try Illegal Length if you’re looking for a lasting, flake-free performance. This mascara has been on the market for years, delivering 4mm of measurable extensions with each application.

No 7 Stay Perfect Mascara

Stay Perfect is one of our favorite tubing formulas thanks to its wearability, highly pigmented and long-lasting finish. The brush on this one is rounded, thick and has the perfect amount of bristle to give you the lush finish you’re looking for.

L’Oréal Paris Voluminous False Fiber Lashes Mascara

Voluminous False Fiber lashes is another crowd pleaser because its tubes work to build volume and longevity. It’s totally clump- and flake-free and sculpts the most precise fibers over each lash.
