FAQs
How does the tubing technology work?
The mascara formula contains polymers that wrap around each individual lash, forming flexible 'tubes.' These tubes cling to the lash, providing length, lift, and separation without traditional mascara's pigment flaking or smudging.
What makes this mascara different from regular mascaras?
Unlike traditional mascaras that coat lashes with pigment and waxes, tubing mascaras form tubes around lashes. This results in a more defined, lift-proof, and smudge-proof finish that is also typically easier to remove without harsh chemicals.
Can I use this mascara if I have sensitive eyes?
Yes, this mascara is formulated to be safe for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers. It is also vegan and free from common irritants.
How long does the mascara typically last?
The mascara is designed to provide a lift-locking hold that lasts up to 24 hours, resisting sweat, smudges, and flakes.
What are the key ingredients in the serum-soaked formula?
The formula is enriched with hyaluronic acid, peptides, castor oil, and shea butter, which are known for their lash-caring and lash-smoothing properties, aiming to make lashes appear healthier, stronger, and softer over time.
How do I best remove the mascara?
The easiest way to remove the mascara is with warm water. Apply a warm, damp washcloth to your closed eyes for 10-20 seconds, and the lash tubes should slide off easily. Avoid rubbing.
Is this mascara available in other colors?
Yes, the Urban Decay Tube Job Tubing Mascara is available in multiple shades, including Intense Black and Brunette Brown.
Troubleshooting
Mascara is clumping
Ensure lashes are clean and dry before application. Avoid pumping the wand in the tube, and try applying in lighter coats. Clean the wand if it has dried mascara on it.
Mascara smudges or flakes off
Ensure lashes are completely dry after application. Tubing mascara should not smudge or flake; if it does, check for oil-based eye products being used prior to application or try a different removal method to ensure all product is removed.
Difficult to remove
Ensure you are using warm water and allowing the water to soften the tubes for sufficient time (10-20 seconds). Avoid harsh rubbing. If residue remains, use a gentle oil-free eye makeup remover on a cotton pad after the warm water step.
Lashes don't appear longer or lifted
Ensure you are applying the mascara from the base of the lash and sweeping upwards. Apply multiple coats while the previous one is still wet for buildable length and lift.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This mascara requires no special setup. Simply open the tube and apply directly to lashes using the included applicator.
Application Tips:
- Start with clean, dry lashes. Ensure no eye cream or oily makeup remover residue is present.
- Begin at the base of the upper lash line and sweep the wand upwards and outwards to coat each lash.
- For added volume and length, apply a second or third coat while the first coat is still wet.
- Apply to lower lashes if desired, using the tip of the wand for precision.
Compatibility: This mascara is compatible with most makeup removers, but it is specifically designed for easy removal with warm water. It is suitable for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers.
Care: To maintain the mascara's performance and hygiene:
- Avoid pumping the wand: This introduces air into the tube, which can dry out the formula.
- Close the cap tightly after each use.
- Replace the mascara every 3-6 months to prevent bacterial contamination and ensure optimal application.
Removal: Dampen a washcloth with warm water and gently press it against your closed eyes for 10-20 seconds. The tubes will slide off your lashes easily. Avoid rubbing vigorously.
