- How is a tubing mascara different from regular mascara?
- It forms flexible polymer tubes around each lash rather than coating it in wax and pigment. That is why it comes off with warm water instead of makeup remover.
- Does it smudge or flake?
- Thrive markets it as flake-free and water-resistant, and most reviewers agree for normal wear. Some report flaking or smudging in high heat, heavy sweat or tears.
- How do I remove it?
- Soak lashes in warm water for a few seconds, then slide the tubes off with gentle pressure between your fingers. Cold water alone leaves residue.
- Is it good for sensitive eyes or contact lens wearers?
- It is free of synthetic fragrance, parabens, sulfates and phthalates, and many contact lens wearers use it. It is not ophthalmologist-tested, so check with your eye doctor if you react easily.
- How much volume does it give?
- It is stronger on length and curl than on volume. If you want thick, dramatic lashes, a fiber or wax volumizing mascara will suit you better.
- What shades are available?
- Six shades, mostly black and brown tones. The core shade is black.
