tartelette™ tubing mascara

Tarte tartelette™ Tubing Mascara works differently from a normal mascara: instead of painting lashes, it wraps each one in tiny flexible tubes. Tarte quotes wear of up to 24 hours with no flaking or smudging, and the whole thing slides off later with warm water instead of scrubbing.

What it actually does

• Tubes every lash individually. This is Tarte's exclusive micro-tubing formula — the tubes wrap the hair, which is what gives the volume, length and curl without flake or smudge.
• Three effects in one tube. Tarte lists the formulation as volumizing, curling and lengthening, and says it is clinically shown to deliver all three visibly.
• Comes off without a fight. Removal is easy with no rubbing or tugging at the lash line.
• Conditioning oils and waxes. Shea butter conditions, castor oil moisturises, and carnauba wax contributes visible length and volume plus a smooth application.
• Vegan, cruelty-free, gluten-free. Packaging is recyclable, and the formula skips parabens, formaldehydes, mineral oil, oxybenzone, coal tar, hydroquinone, SLS and SLES sulfates, triclocarban and triclosan.

Tested results

Tarte reports the following from a clinical study of 31 subjects: 24-hour flake-free and smudgeproof wear; clinically proven to volumize, lengthen and curl; sweatproof and ophthalmologist tested. Brand-reported study data — individual results vary.

How to use

1. Coat the custom-moulded brush generously — do not wipe it clean on the tube.
2. Set it at the base of your upper lash line and sweep upward, following the natural curve of the lash.
3. Pull right through to the tips so each lash gets fully wrapped.
4. To remove, use warm water and let the tubes roll off rather than rubbing.
