Why You Should Skip Tubing Mascara Before Your Lash Lift

Want the Best Lash Lift Results? Skip the Tubing Mascara Before Your Appointment

At Lashes On Point, we’re all about delivering those wide-eyed, natural lash moments our clients love — especially with our lash lift and tint services. But recently, Steph and I have noticed a growing trend that’s affecting results more than expected: tubing mascaras.

We get it — tubing mascaras are having a moment. They’re smudge-proof, easy to remove, and add major length to your natural lashes. But here’s the catch: many tubing formulas rely on heavy oil-based ingredients that create a stubborn residue on the lash line and follicle.

Here’s why that matters:

Lash lifts work by restructuring the natural lash’s shape through a safe perming solution. For the treatment to take full effect, lashes need to be completely clean, oil-free, and free from product buildup. When tubing mascara leaves behind residue — even after makeup removal — it can act as a barrier between your lashes and the lifting solution.

The result?
Less lift. Less hold. Less wow.

We’ve seen cases where clients who regularly wear tubing mascara have lashes that don’t curl or hold the shape as well, despite our best efforts.

What We Recommend

To get the absolute best out of your lash lift:

• Avoid tubing mascaras for 3–5 days before your appointment

• Use an oil-free lash cleanser to prep your lashes

• Arrive to your appointment with completely clean, product-free lashes

Trust us — it’s a small step that makes a huge difference in your results. You’ll walk out with that perfect curl, longer-lasting lift, and a fresh, natural look that doesn’t rely on mascara at all.
