DHC Mascara Perfect Pro Double Protection, Water Resistant Lengthening Mascara, Tubing Technology, All-day wear, Black

Apparently I've bought 9 tubes of this on Amazon, and I am about to buy another! I've used this for about 5 years and it's my go-to mascara. I love the small brush and performance. There are no smudges under my eyes at the end of the day and I have normal/oily skin. (My other sometimes-used tube mascara L'oreal Beauty Tubes, does smudge a little). It provides good volume and length, but it's not dramatic - for that rare occasion I use L'oreal Lash Paradise or something like that. One thing to note is when you open a new tube, the formula is a bit thin. But after a couple of weeks the formula thickens and then it's perfect! I still use it from day one but I wanted to let people know that if they initially don't like the consistency. Removal is SO EASY with just water. Some people are using eye makeup remover, which has oil and I think that will prevent water from directly contacting the tubes, that's why they're having trouble. Water softens the tubes (let them soak 15-20 seconds) and they fall right off with light sweeping with my fingertips. In the shower I just wash my face as usual and it comes off easily. If I'm washing my face at the sink, I'll hold the warm damp washcloth to my eyes for about 10 seconds and gently wipe away. I use cleansing oil and foaming wash, and neither have gotten in the way of removal.

I love it! Since moving to Memphis, my regular water-proof mascaras were smudging and giving me raccoon eyes like crazy! (Must be the humidity.) I have used Blinc in the past, but $30 a tube is CRAZY for this mom of 5. I tried the Loreal tube mascara and it works, but it's a drier formula and the brush is too big for my lashes. (I can't get close to the lash line.) The brush is small and great w/ DHC! It's tiny and I can get ALL my lashes. It made my eyes look like doll eyelashes. I tried it for the 1st time yesterday to my son's baseball game in 88 degree weather. No flaking, smudging, or raccoon eyes! I do use ELF's cheap mascara primer 1st, just like you have to do with the Loreal tube mascara. I feel like it adds some volume and extra length. It's only May. As it gets warmer here and the humidity really begins to pick up, I will give an update, but so far I am really impressed!

I converted to tubing mascara a few years ago after years of unhappiness with regular mascara that either turned me into a raccoon or waterproof mascara that clumped and was impossible to remove. Tubing mascara is great! However, most of the tubing mascaras I found were hard to apply without clumping - I always had to carefully run an eyelash comb between my lashes after every swipe of mascara. This is the holy grail of tubing mascara - I can apply without the eyelash comb! It even lasts longer in hot/sweaty weather than the other tubing mascaras I've tried. (It also takes an extra couple seconds to wipe off with a hot washcloth at the end of the day, but I don't need any specialized makeup remover.) The container is small, but it always lasts me the three months that is the limit for mascara. Highly recommend!

Update: Started out as 5 stars, went down to 4 stars after 2 months. Overall, it lasted about 3 months, and then, even though there is product left, it starts to get clumpy. I really do love it, for the price I wish it would have lasted a little longer, but I'll probably still order it again. I love this stuff. It's everything I've searched for in a mascara, and I have tried so many... from the average ones to the expensive ones. This doesn't smudge, doesn't budge, until you wash it off (which sometimes for me is a full 24 hours later). No makeup remover required, just wash your face as normal and after you rinse, gently pull/slide the coating off. I learned to do this after I've rinsed, otherwise I get soap in my eyes. I have thick lashes so they are prone to getting stuck together - since this is a small brush and I usually do better with deeper brushes, it took a little practice on the application. I learned I had to scrape much of the product off the brush, back into the mouth of the tube so that I don't have too much on the brush. Now I get it right every time. Proof is in the pudding: I recently went on a camping trip to the river... On the way there my friend asked if I had eyelash extensions (win!), then we floated around in the water (nothing too splashy, did not submerge, but still I was in the water several hours), then we went to sleep.... when I woke up, I did not look like a raccoon, it actually looked almost as good as the day before (some minor crumblies which I brushed away). So I was able to just leave it as it was - I didn't even mess with it or wash my face until we were home much later in the day. Long story, but to me, it really showed the awesomeness of this mascara.

My favorite - and I’m picky. It does have the “tubing tech” but as is such with ALL of DHC products - super nice quality and reasonable (when purchased on sale, which they always have!) and yes - probably won’t ever switch if I’m buying it! Tend to stick with what I like - I’ve used this for 4+ years -

The best mascara out there. Comes off easily with warm water yet is waterproof with wear. Does not smudge during the day and thickens lashes. Very gentle.

Good mascara. I think it's a tubing mascara, because I struggle removing it with the DHC oil. Sometimes it applies so beautifully and i get almost an anime eye look but other times my lashes look lump and strange, I don't know why even though I apply the same method--sparingly over my curled lashes. But I will repurchase nonetheless.

Non cola mai…! Incredibile

Being half Asian, I find it difficult to find a good mascara that doesn't smudge. This one does the job and comes off with warm water. Last all day with no smudging. Will buy again.
