If you’re a makeup-wearer...we know you’ve had that kind of conversation before.
Couldn’t there be a single mascara that did it all?
That was what Suma and Lewis Farsedakis (the founders of blinc) thought. We put a man on the moon—there's no way we don’t have the technology for a mascara that stays put.
So Lewis asked Suma for the top 10 best mascaras she could think of. Then he brought them all to a chemist friend to test out why they weren’t staying.
“I don't even need to do any testing to tell you why these mascaras don't hold,” said that chemist friend. “They’re oil based. As long as they're oil-based they’re never going to hold well.”
It was a mascara that finally wasn't oil based. One that would withstand regular life...and more.
Instead of caking lashes with unpredictable oily paint, tubing mascara encases each lash in an oil-free tube. It resisted water and oil, letting wearers rub their eyes, cry, sweat, add eye drops, and wear contacts without worrying about their mascara moving. Humid weather, trips to the gym, eye-watering allergies? It’s no problem for tubing technology.
Unlike many “waterproof” mascaras, tubing mascara didn’t require harsh makeup removers or scrubbing to remove. Water and light pressure was all it took to take it off at the end of the day. Each lash’s “tube” slid off in one piece.
Tubing mascara was the perfect fit for customers that had struggled to find “their” mascara. Customers that dealt with sensitive eyes, contacts, allergies, oily skin, and recent eye surgery could finally enjoy mascara without irritation or smearing. And customers that needed a reliable mascara for humid weather, working out, sports, and big events had a solid option.
Later, several of blinc’s tubing mascaras became available to buy in Sephora stores. Amassing thousands of reviews, the Original quickly became a cult favorite. Once blinc became available on Amazon, both the Original and the Amplified tubing mascara gained thousands of reviews.

Magazines and beauty publications were trying it out and giving it their stamp of approval. Blinc mascara sailed to the top recommended lists of Vogue, Oprah Magazine, Allure, Cosmopolitan, Shape, Marie Claire, Prevention, Byrdie, Today, Who What Wear, Business Insider, US, POPSUGAR, InStyle, Glamour, Bustle, and more.
Some brands have tried to replicate our formula pretty closely. And some aren’t close at all, giving tubing technology a bad name. Some have even tried calling their oil-based formulas “tubing” mascaras. You may have even seen them in articles that have a lineup of best “tubing” mascaras.
But blinc is the very first tubing mascara—and we know tubing technology best. After all, we created it and have been working with it the longest.
Since our beginnings in the 90’s, we’ve branched out into ultra longwear cosmetics and beauty products. After all, what’s a lash look without being framed by a fabulous brow and lid?
We’re always looking to improve. Our fans asked and we delivered. Our Original and Amplified tubing mascaras set in under a minute, which is perfect for users that don’t want to layer later in the day.
It’s the tubing you love with the layering ability you want. Want to add more volume after your original application has already set? No problem. Swipe on another layer or two of the UltraVolume mascara to go from your day to night look. To top it off, we’ve also made the formula clean and vegan.
