A new iteration of the brand’s iconic Sky High mascara, the Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky Tubes Mascara is a tubing mascara designed to deliver intense length and smudge-proof wear, removing with a swipe using warm water.

Increasingly popular in the beauty world, tubing mascaras like this one from Maybelline are designed to elevate the traditional mascara experience, offering incredible length and volume while delivering a smudge, flake and sweat-proof finish that lasts the day.

Coming in at a very affordable £13.99 and coined a ‘game-changer’ for its staying power and easy removal, the Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky Tubes Tubing Mascara is already earning cult status like its Sky High counterpart. And is now available on sale at Amazon. 

What did Senior Commerce Writer Lydia think of the new Maybelline tubing mascara?

When I say that I try countless mascaras, I really mean it. From barely-there formulas to thick, spidery versions, it’s safe to say, I’ve learned that not all mascaras are created equal.

Maybelline’s Lash Sensational range, however, has never let me down. From the original Lash Sensational mascara that saw me through university and beyond, to the Sky High formula that I discovered later and quickly became obsessed with, every version I’ve tried has earned a permanent spot in my makeup bag. 

I obviously assumed that the brand’s new Sky Tubes tubing mascara would be yet another winner – and I was totally right.

The tubing formula isn’t overly thick, and you can tell from the first few swipes that its main aim is to make your lashes look longer rather than bulkier

Not only does this mascara look the part with its sleek silver packaging, but its insane tubing formula, which comes in at an extremely affordable £13.99,  out performs more expensive mascaras, too.

From the very first swipe, the lightweight formula and precision brush stand out, making application effortless and mess-free. The slim wand glides through every lash with ease, reaching even the tiniest hairs in the inner and outer corners. It coats each lash evenly from root to tip, ensuring nothing is missed for a defined, fanned-out finish.

It’s easy to build, so you can achieve added volume and curl without heaviness while retaining the impressive length. This is quite the feat when other mascaras tend to leave your lashes thick and spidery after a few too many swipes.

I also loved how this mascara didn’t transfer onto my bottom lashes throughout the day, which is another added bonus of tubing mascaras.

Where other mascaras may flake and transfer when spurred on by my face oils, this one stayed put – except for when it was time to take it off

Where other mascaras may flake and transfer especially in the warmer, humid summer months, this one stayed put – except for when it was time to take it off.

Giving the mascara a light rub with my water-based cleanser and warm water, the mascara slipped of my lashes seconds, making the arduous process of removing black smudges from my eyes a mere memory.  

Would I recommend this mascara? Yes, absolutely. It’s affordable, long lasting, easy to remove and leaves your lashes looking longer and fuller in a matter of swipes.

What more could you ask for? 

Boasting the brand’s best lengthening mascara technology yet, this innovative tubing formula uses advanced polymers to wrap each individual lash in flexible tubes, delivering beyond-the-lash, extension-like length and perfect separation.

The tubing formula also helps to ensure your mascara lasts all day, engineered for up to 24-hour wear and completely smudge-proof, flake-proof, and sweat-proof to keep it looking flawless through any activity.

Unlike the original Sky High’s Flex Tower Brush, Sky Tubes boasts a Tubing Extender Brush which ensures every lash gets coated.

While the Sphere Tip grabs and extends inner, outer and harder-to-reach lashes for a full fan effect, Pyramid Bristles with a broad base and pointed tip work to grip the formula for extension-like lash length and separation that’s to die for.

But it’s not just the wand doing the hard work. Formulated with shea butter and castor oil, the vegan and ophthalmologist-tested mascara provides a conditioned feel for healthy-looking lashes without irritation.

And to remove? Unlike standard mascaras that require harsh cleansers and endless rubbing, this tubing formula allows you to wash it away using just warm water, swiping off gently with zero tugging to help minimise lash loss.

The Maybelline Tubing Mascara is now available on Amazon.
