What is a peptide tubing mascara?

A peptide tubing mascara is a clever two-in-one: a mascara that gives you instant length, lift and volume and cares for your natural lashes underneath.

Instead of painting on a wet, paint-like coat that smudges and flakes, a tubing mascara wraps each lash in tiny, flexible "tubes" for long-lasting, smudge-proof wear — and ours is infused with peptides to support healthier, stronger lashes over time.

It's the in-between step that bridges your everyday glam and your lash care routine.

How does tubing mascara work?

The magic is in the formula. Rather than coating your lashes in a traditional wet pigment, tubing technology forms lightweight, flexible "tubes" around each individual lash.

These tubes add length, lift and volume while staying put — they won't budge, smudge or flake through humidity, tears, sweat or a long day at your desk. No transfer onto your eyelids, and no panda eyes by 3pm. When you're ready to take it off, the tubes simply slide away with warm water (more on that below).

What makes it a peptide tubing mascara?

This is where By Babes does things differently. Most mascaras only sit on top of your lashes — ours works for them too. Our formula is infused with Myristoyl Pentapeptide-4, a lash-loving peptide that helps nourish and support lash strength and growth with continued wear, alongside conditioning ingredients like Glycerin and Butylene Glycol that keep lashes soft and flexible.

So every time you wear it, you're not just adding volume — you're caring for the lashes you've worked hard to grow.

Tubing vs traditional mascara

If you've ever loved your lashes in the morning and hated the smudged, flaky mess by evening, tubing is for you. Traditional and waterproof mascaras often need oil cleansers or balms to remove — and that tugging and rubbing can work against your lash health, especially if you're using a growth serum.

A tubing mascara gives you bold, defined lashes that last all day, then comes off gently with nothing but warm water. It's a small switch that makes your whole lash routine kinder and more consistent.

How do I apply it?

The precision brush separates and defines every lash, so it's easy to build the look you want:

- Start at the root and sweep the brush upward to the tip.

- For a natural, lengthened look, one light coat is all you need

-For more drama, layer up — the buildable formula adds length and volume without clumping.

It's suitable for all lash types, and because it's gentle and hypoallergenic, it's well-suited to sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers too.

How do I remove it?

No removers, no rubbing, no lash loss — just warm water.

- Soak a clean flannel (or your fingers) in warm water.

- Hold it gently over your lashes for 20–30 seconds to soften the tubes.

- Gently press and slide — the tubes come away in tiny strands.

- Rinse with warm water to remove any residue.

Tip: the steam in a warm shower loosens the tubes beautifully, so they rinse away with your fingers.
