Please recommend a tubing mascara.

[Shufflebumnessie]

I am completely fed up with my mascara leaving black smudges and flakes under my eyes. I recently read about Tubing mascaras and they seem to be what I'm looking for.
Can anyone recommend a particular make?
I wear contact lenses and have sensitive eyes.
My eyelashes are ridiculously short but I have quite a lot of them. I like my lashes to be dark and generally apply 3 coats for volume.
Any suggestions? Thanks

I use Bobbi brown intensifying long wear one, do not use the Bobbi brown no smudge as it does in fact smudge! I also use clinique lash power, which I like because it comes in dark brown which is kinder and a little more natural

clinique lash power - can't go wrong. I'm a contact lens wearer also.

I used to use No7 Stay Perfect. I had to use a tubing mascara because I always ends up with panda eyes... I've recently switched to Clinique High Impact and had no issues.

What on Earth is a tubing mascara?

i was using blinkbrowbar mascara which is tubing but it only comes in black. i loved it for not smudging but it was the first tubing mascara i'd ever used so i didn't have anything to compare it against. it did make my lashes very stiff whilst wearing it. i've now moved to a brown/black tubing one by clinique called lash power - same as other posters and my lashes aren't as stiff and still completely smudge proof.

L'Oréal beauty tubes, double ended red coloured tube. I don't tend to use the white lash extension end. I've tried all the more expensive ones, including Trish McEvoy £££, and come back to this as it's good, cheap &easy to get hold of.

I think benefit they’re real

I don’t have this problem and I wear non waterproof mascaras

Maybelline Lash Sensational. Literally the only one I can use without getting dark smudges under my eyes!

I have used No. 7 Stay Perfect (£), Clinique Lash Power (££) and Trish McEvoy (£££). None of them give much oomph but all stay put all day. On balance I think I would rebuy the No. 7.

Yes, what are these things?

Definitely Boots no7 Stay Perfect. Doesn’t budge

Had no idea so I googled!

Clinique High Impact Curling is a tubing mascara and gives more volume than Clinique Lash Power (also a tubing mascara). I prefer the brush on the Lash Power though. I repeat buy both.

Note - The High Impact (non-curling version) isn't a tubing mascara.

I'm not convinced that Benefit They're Real, or L'oreal Lash Sensational are tubing mascaras.

I used to use the Clinique one and then discovered the No 7 one. I couldn't really tell the difference so stick to No 7 as it's cheaper. I don't think I'll ever use non-tubing mascaras again. No panda eyes and easy to remove.

I can only use Clinique Lash Power.

Another one for Clinique lash power! I seem to have very greasy eyelids but the lash power stays on really well.

Another one for Clinique lash power. First time in my life that I don’t get smudges under my eyes!

Clinique lash power

Clinique Lash Power is great; Blinc too.

I use the Blinc one and it's very good but like all mascaras it gets dry and a bit think around the three month mark so I resent paying that much for it!

I also really like the Benefit They're Real but it isn't a tubing mascara.

Ugh - bit THICK not bit think.

I accidentally bought the No.7 one and really struggled with it; I have ridiculously watery eyes and so it kept coming off during the day. I also managed to blink a bit of the "tube" under a contact lens which was not pleasant.

I get on much better with Benefit They're Real

It puzzles me that more of them don't specify that they are tubing ones on the packaging, I've bought three different ones without realising so far (I chop and change a lot). I find they make my lashes look spidery and they are really hard to get off but they certainly don't smudge.

Lash power here too, any other mascara and I get awful transfer under my eyes, I really don’t need any help with the darkness
