Thanks for all of your work on this Abbey! Can’t wait for the tubing mascara video! Also the best part of this video was Elsie’s tail wagging in the background of the application clips 😂😂

[@AbbeyYung]

Hahaha right- a LOT of fetch was played during the creation of this video 😂

[@pamorama]

I kept noticing that too, and it made me smile. She’s the cutest little dog!

[@pamorama]

Tabby this was a phenomenal video. Thank you so much and I had to laugh at the end because somehow I felt like you were going to give tower 28 your number one spot and I’m just going to have to try that mascara again. I used it twice and then gave it to a friend of mine, because I felt like it was just m’eh. But then that was when I was really in my obsessed over tubing, mascara phase. The pictures the wear test your analysis of the wand was so helpful and really made me think about mascara in a different way to be honest- and that’s saying a lot since I’ve been around mascara for about 50 years now.

[@gardengypsy70]

Yes! 😂 the tail!!! 🐕

[@Kynurse76]

@abbeyyung Did the tubing mascara video go up yet?

[@sonjaforrester9255]

Thank you for all this work. Watched to the end. I want to see the tubing showdown. But my FAVORITE was the drugstore showdown because of so many great options. Would love to see how your top drugstore compares to these top picks.

[@chamorrojen1905]

I've also noticed that i fly through the tower 28 mascara. For high end, its a good price but bc it dries out so fast, I'm super interested in your tubing mascara showdown!! Thanks, Abbey! ❤

[@chelseazaydaraensehon1198]

That’s how the essence mascaras are too! They are good for a very short time because the dry up so fast.

[@maybe800]

Tubing mascara showdown would be awesome and another one with popular drugstore mascaras ❤❤❤

[@tammyfrank5060]

Thanks for the run down on all these mascaras! Now,,I know what not to try.

I am on my first tube of Tower 28 and while I love it, I thought I was crazy thinking it was drying out after just 2 months of use...

[@annkukielka7479]

I've noticed how fast it dried out too so I stopped using it.

What is tubing mascara?

[@ginag7130]

I love your hair color. It's so warm and flattering on you.

[@AbbeyYung]

thank you so much!!

[@kimberlyscheiderlein2452]

I was thinking the same thing… also perfect lip color on you.

[@katieb.9556]

Also, you can turn an average mascara into great by allowing it to dry out a little. I like my mascaras much better after they’ve aged a little and gotten thicker and drier.

[@lindalovessparkles16]

wow this video is exactly what i was looking for!! your quality of videos is insurmountable 🎉

[@AbbeyYung]

yay I'm so glad!!

Omg talk about committing to the bit. Thank you for all the effort put into this video!

[@AbbeyYung]

of course!!

[@LauraLVTGW]

Save your favorite brush, clean it and use it on other mascaras. Even with using a lash curler, if I don't use a waterproof mascara, they fall very quickly. My favorite is Clio Kill Lash (k-beauty brand). Many blessings!!!💖💖💖

[@robinlawson7441]

I'm not even 2 mins in and just HAD to comment that I'm stunned and impressed with your commitment!

Great video. I rarely return things to Sephora but I did return the Hudson mascara. One you might consider for another showdown is the Bobby Brown Smokey eye mascara

[@zoegomez3400]

I use 2 mascaras currently. The Fenty to put immediate length and volume and then I finish with the Tower 28. It seperates my lashes so nicely. Definitely a really good wand on Tower 28 so im not surprised it was your #1 pick. Ive personally never found a mascara to do everything I want it to. 😅

[@cs-yq5ed]

Thank you for how thoroughly you test these. I am looking forward to the tubing mascara review. Also curious to see if you layer tubing mascara over or under "regular" mascara, or if you use a different technique for layering. Thanks!

[@KellyYoumans]

I know this was a ton of work and time, Abbey & we all appreciate it so much. Thank you! HOWEVER, that said, by far the best part(s) of this video were Elsie’s tail wagging, mama-staring, longing to play eyes in the background of several clips. 😂😂😂 I also noticed your family member’s little white fur baby too! Haha Thanks again for sharing them with us!🐾

[@nayeli9937]

I couldn’t AGREE WITH YOU more regarding the huda beauty one. I loved the length but damn did it smudge on me immediately!

[@tinafriis3122]

Oooh, can't wait for the tubing mascara show down! I find that a lot of them dry out SO fast! Much faster than regular mascaras. The only one that I've tried that actually lasted more than a couple of weeks is the one from Tarte.

[@LieslPJohnson]

This was incredibly meticulous and useful! Love it! I cracked up laughing at having to "put your back into it" with applying that one mascara. So fun!

THANK YOU for creating this video. I’m very loyal when it comes to allll of the things except mascara’s because I have yet to find “the one”. I recently received your number #2 as a sample- and I totally agree with your assessment. I think I’m going to give it a shot in its full size. Thanks again 🧚‍♀️

[@tzoe875]

Wow! This video took some serious dedication! Bravo to you!👏👏👏 I think the Hourglass is a tubing mascara. I agree that mascara is such a personal preference. I love the GXVE beauty mascara because I have some serious hooded eyes and the doh-dah at the end really reaches the inside lashes. Your lashes look amazing in all of mascaras. Do you use a lash serum or are you blessed with awesome lashes?

[@deborahmiller6387]

Thank you for all the work…I’m very nit picky too when it comes to all makeup especially mascara and rightly so since I’m older and my lashes aren’t what they used to be…I will be trying your top three mascaras! ❤

[@myselfff1885]

Tower 28 is my favourite too! It definitely gives the best fluttery and long lasting look

[@islandbirdw]

I’ve noticed the highest end mascaras I used to love in the last 3 years have changed their formula so they too are smudging and flaking even though they still charge more 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@nicnakkk]

your videos never disappoint, thank you so much for all the time you take to make these!

[@nicolefegan]

Lancome Lash Idole has been my go-to the past year, so I was happy to see that it placed pretty well! Gonna have to try out the Tower 28 one, it seems like it has a similar brush and it's cheaper!

[@AliciaFannin]

Ok- first of all- THANK YOU for all the work and time you put into making this video!!!! ❤❤ second- I also love the Tower 28 mascara but the one I love more than that that is my absolute number 1 mascara EVER is the It Cosmetics Superhero Mascara! Please treat yourself to this one if you haven’t. I always go back to it! And third- I’m so excited to see the showdown of tubing mascaras. I love and enjoy your channel so much. I’m 46 and many times I find videos by younger women irrelevant to me BUT your in depth reviews, honestly and originality keep me coming back. Much love for your channel from KY!

[@annsumma5060]

How do you keep that perfectly straight face with that happy wagging tail in the background? SO CUTE! Thanks for all your research on these. Helps me decide how to spend my mascara budget.

[@curlycurlbirdygirl]

Omg Abbey the commitment 👏👏👏 I used to use the Lancome Drama mascara like 10 or so years ago and it didn't work well for me until i read the instructions ❗which said "rotate the brush while applying". Game changer! And I can see the thought behind it - by doing so you ensure that each single lash gets coated all around. I would assume that this rotating technique would be applicable to all mascaras that have uneven bristles or even flat parts. Eventually I gave up on the Drama mascara because it would wear smudgy and even fall into my eyes but I'm grateful for providing me with yet another application method. Maybe you could do a video about comparing results with same mascaras (or any other make up oroduct) but using different types of application... Once you recovered from this marathon of course 😉 Great job 👍

[@iah8331]

I’ve been using the Tarte Tartlette Tubing mascara that I got as a free sample from Sephora I think. Whenever I use it, I get compliments.

[@eliciacheney84]

It's so interesting to me how different mascara preferences can be. I have pretty long lashes so anything that lengthens makes them look spidery. So for me, the best mascara are ones that pretty much just add volume and are slightly wetter but not super wet or thick. Of course, not flaking or smudging is a must! I recently started trying some new ones and the Better Than Sex mascara actually works really well for me. I also like the regular Milk mascara but I found the different bristle lengths on the wand really annoying. The different lengths on the different sides made it so I had to think more about how I applied it. The green Essence mascara looks so pretty but it flakes throughout the day 😥 If it didn't, it may have been my perfect mascara.

[@iah8331]

My lashes are also long, so I look for volumizing as well.

[@DecolonialRhetoric]

Thank you for all your research! I’ve been looking for an excuse to try out the Tower 28. I tried the Ilia and thought it was just ok. I’ll give it a second chance tomorrow. My go-to is still Maybelline Sky High with the primer first. I just ordered the brown and can’t wait for it to arrive!

[@carbonwildflower]

Yes, let’s just say mascara is very important to me 😂 my lashes are long but straight so I prefer a drier formula to build up. Thank you Abbey for the work you put in.

[@paola_mendes]

I love this video! Thank you for the effort, this is very helpful! I would love to see a drugstore version of this, I've heard a lot about the Loreal Telecospic Lift.

[@amywoodworth6224]

Thank you for this video! So helpful. I gotta say your hair color is sooo pretty. IDK if your lighting is enhancing it but regardless it is so pretty!

[@daniellekennedy8118]

WOW!! I'm a newbie here, and I've got to say that this is probably one of the top ten most valuable makeup videos I have watched! Thank you so much for your hard work (and thank Elsie for her forebearance, lol). I have used many of the mascaras you tried, and ordered sample sizes of many I haven't -- I was surprised how many brands offered trial sizes. Over the forty-some-odd years I have been wearing mascara, however, I have noticed that as soon as I find a firm favorite, it immediately stops production (same thing with bras and perfume, right?). So, although I agree with you on most of your reviews, One Coat Wow is currently my ride or die mascara. You can rest easy knowing that it will probably be around for only a short while now that I've said that. I look forward to your next videos~

[@sandragrissom1821]

Thanks for taking the guesswork out of mascara shopping! Loved the video. 😊

[@AbbeyYung]

[@rebeccawebb2298]

Your hair is gorgeous! I had already ordered the Rare Beauty and Anastasia mascara before I saw your video. Now I'm excited to try them. Also, the Huda mascara was one that I liked. I don't remember having any flakes or smudges with it on me, and I used the whole tube.😊

[@iarnsdorf1]

I used to love the benefit roller lash! I switched to only clean formulas now so I use ilia, rms, beauty counter lune and aster, etc. i think the MAC mascaras are actually SUPER underrated. I used to love the Mac giga play (blue packaging). Really defining and wore great. Love this video!

[@Lighthouse1852]

The ears and tail that starts whisking eagerly at about 32:00! Thank you for this video, it's something I've been hoping for for ages and couldn't find from anybody I follow. I can see why: expensive and cumbersome to make. Thank you for experimenting so we don't have to. I look forward to the tubing mascara edition. It's so disappointing that major brands use a million meaningless words to advertise their mascaras, without even telling us what formula and brush to really expect. Anytime you feel like doing a side by side of any product category to show the differences in finish, opacity, and/or official color/texture descriptions, it will be valuable for your viewers.

[@jennyjosephson1408]

[@meganpowelldutoit5390]

Yeah, I use the hourglass one as it is a tubing mascara. Looking fwd to the tubing video.

[@suzanneholman1203]

Thanks for the video. I feel the same way about all of the mascaras you reviewed, 2/3 of which I've tried. But, I LOVE Lancôme Hypnôse Drama. I've used it for years and year. I try other things, but come back in the end. It wears well on me and doesn't flake or smudge. Volume and curl are consistently phenomenal. I'm underwhelmed by Tower 28. I bought it 3 weeks ago, and I just don't understand the hype. I'll keep working with it, but I haven't seen the value yet.

[@lulukrassova2196]

As someone with really long lashes, I couldn't agree more about using more than one mascara (especially for my bottom lashes because transfer is a real problem for me). The Fenty Hella thick is one of my all-time favourites (but I use a different mascara to reapply throughout the day because, yes, it doesn't wear well over time). I think one you should definitely try is the Bourjois Volume Reveal Mascara (my go-to for my bottom lashes), it comes in a waterproof formula but honestly the standard one doesn't transfer. It is also a great mascara to use if you need to reapply because both the wand and the formula doesn't mess with the original look of my first mascara. I initally didn't like it because it should be called something different as you defintely don't get a lot of volume but I have yet to find a wand and formula that separates without any clumping like this mascara. We also seem to love the same foundations based on the videos I have watched and I think you might also like the bourjois Healthy Mix Concealer, Foundation, and CC Cream. It really is one of the most underrated brands.

[@shabanahussain4707]
