What to know about tubing mascara and where to find it

If you are a beauty lover, you know that not all mascara is created equal.

Whether you struggle with clumping, smudging or running, the right mascara can be hard to come by.

That's where tubing mascara comes in.

"Tubing mascara contains polymers, which wrap around each individual lash, generating an enhanced lengthening effect," Ulta Beauty Pro Team member Deney Adam told "Good Morning America."

"It's long-lasting and has flexible wear so it doesn't smudge or flake and is easy to remove," Adam continued.

Beyond the flexible wear, tubing makes the removal process easy and nonabrasive on the lashes.

"When you're ready to remove your mascara, warm water activates the formula and the tubes gently slide off of your lashes with ease," Michelle Phan, founder of EM Cosmetics, told "GMA."

With many major beauty brands launching this new formula because of the results it gives, "GMA" has rounded up some top picks that you can shop right now.

caliray Come Hell or High Water Volumizing Tubing Mascara

"Tubing mascaras deliver long, water-resistant wear and never smudge, yet they are gentle on your lashes. Special waxes form volumizing tubes around each lash instead of just coating them with pigment, so when you remove them by softening the formula with warm water, the tubes ball up and roll right off instead of giving you raccoon eyes. You can cry, sweat, get rained on or just have oily skin and a tubing mascara stays put," Wende Zomnir, Founder of caliray, told "Good Morning America."
