Tubing mascaras coat each lash in a thin film that you remove with warm water. They tend to resist smudging and are popular with people who want a clean, extended-looking lash.

Regular washable mascaras give you more flexibility in building volume and are removed with a gentle makeup remover. Try both if you can, since lash type affects which one suits you.
