Using tubing mascara with fake lashes (also known as false eyelashes) can be done, but with some considerations. Tubing mascara is known for its unique formula that wraps each lash in a tube-like polymer, offering long-lasting wear and easy removal with warm water. Here are a few points to consider when using tubing mascara with fake lashes:
Compatibility: Tubing mascara is generally safe to use with false lashes, especially if the lashes are applied with a semi-permanent adhesive for extended wear. The gentle removal process of tubing mascara is less likely to disturb the adhesive or the placement of the false lashes.
Application: When applying tubing mascara to false lashes, it's best to do so lightly. The tubing formula is designed to coat and encase each lash, which can be beneficial for blending your natural lashes with the false ones for a seamless look. However, over-application might weigh down the false lashes or affect their intended shape and curl.
Removal: One of the advantages of tubing mascara is its ease of removal, typically requiring just warm water and gentle pressure. This is particularly beneficial for preserving the longevity of your false lashes, as you won’t need to use oil-based makeup removers that can potentially weaken the adhesive or damage the lashes.
Type of False Lashes: If you're using temporary false lashes that you plan to remove at the end of the day, consider applying the tubing mascara to your natural lashes before applying the false lashes. This way, you enhance your natural lashes without compromising the integrity or reusability of the falsies.
Maintenance: For those wearing eyelash extensions or more permanent false lashes, consulting with your lash technician before using any mascara product is recommended. Some formulations, even tubing mascaras, might not be suitable depending on the type of adhesive used or the care instructions provided by your technician.
