Maybelline’s new mascara doubled the length of my lashes in a few swipes

The new formula gives the brand's original sky high mascara a good run for its money - (The Independent)

Maybelline has given one of its most talked-about mascaras a tubing makeover. That’s right, the brand’s best-selling lash sensational sky high mascara (£8.80, Amazon.co.uk) is now available in a new ‘sky tubes’ iteration , promising longer looking, lifted lashes with added staying power and even easier removal.

Unlike standard mascaras that simply coat lashes in pigment, tubing formulas wrap each lash in lightweight, flexible “tubes”, designed to hold shape and resist smudging, flaking and transfer. Faff free removal is a big part of the appeal here, with the tubes designed to slide off easily using warm water instead of requiring oily cleansers or excessive rubbing. When you’re dealing with the delicate orbital area, these smaller details make all the difference – especially on more sensitive skin types.
