How do you take off tubing mascara..

[theduchessofspork]

.. without warm water.

Like at a festival.

My mind is drifting forward to summer days and I’m wonder if there an alternative to pulling it off with your fingers 😁

This I haven’t tried ! Thank you

Er, what is tubing mascara?!

Oil based make up wipes. Johnson’s do some in a pink packet.

Coats your lashes in little tubes. Good for those of us with oily skin which can cause panda eyes with normal mascara. Usually removed with hot water and a cloth, which loosens the tubes and pulls them off.

I’d never heard of tubing mascara until now but I’m interested. Is it better than regular mascara? My lashes are getting sparse, will it help?

Can anyone recommend a sensibly priced good one to try?

Soak some cotton pads (reusable or not, your choice) in micellar water or other makeup remover liquid, store in plastic ziplock bag. No faffing with bringing liquid, easy to squidge into a pocket or bag. Boom!

Maybe take a flask of hot water?

What festival are you going to? I’ve been going festivals for 20 years, there’s taps & toilets in every single camping field to fill up water carriers or wash at.

I have black lashes and LVL worked for me - not as dramatic as mascara but made me look more wide awake and put together for a holiday where I couldn’t be bothered to wear mascara every day.

Can you get hold of a takeaway tea? Black tea no milk

This I haven’t tried ! Thank you

I use weak black tea/green tea/herbal teas for things like this all the time. The water is clean. The tea if anything is good for your skin!!!

Tubing mascara requires warm water not just wet pads. The water needs to be quite warm too. Not just a bit tepid.

Yes I’ve used tubing mascara for over 20 years and never been able to get it off with anything but hot water and a gentle rub.

Cold though..

@petticuliar 🤷🏼‍♀️ miscellar (room temp) has been working for me for the last couple of years, I only use tubing mascara

This is definitely what you need!

Which one do you use?

You could stand a bit too close to a campfire to melt it (mine melted when I opened the oven the other day) then wipe it off.

Don't take it off. Just top it up the next day. Or wear falsies.

Just sleep in it, see what state your face is in the next morning and deal with it then or just top it up and open a can of cider. It's a festival!
