Blinc's Original Tubing Mascara was our 1st exceptional tubing mascara. It is Gluten-free, and buildable. It creates ultra longwearing, natural look with a patent shine finish. Our pioneering tubing technology forms tiny water-resistant ""tubes"" around your lashes, rather than painting them like conventional mascaras. Once applied, the tiny tubes bind to your lashes and can't run, smudge, clump, or flake, even if you sweat, cry, or rub your eyes. Clinically tested to be non-irritating, it s ideal for long days, active lifestyles, and those with sensitive eyes or oily skin. Better hold than waterproof mascaras, yet easier to remove. Just the simple combination of lots of warm water + gentle pressure (i.e. no makeup remover) will slide the tiny tubes effortlessly off your lashes, into your washcloth or hand. It s healthier for your eyes and since no tint or residue is left behind, it s also safer for your lashes. After use, close the cap well to prevent drying out.
