Sweltering summer temperatures are here, and the risk of mascara dripping down your face is at an all-time high. If you want to ensure your mascara stays on your lashes — not under your eyes — this season, look no further than a PEOPLE Tested-approved pick.
Not only is the Tarte Tartelette Tubing Mascara one of the best we tested for older women, but it’s one of our favorite mascaras overall. While the popular product has long been available in brown and black, the brand added four new shades to its lineup: navy, electric blue, magenta, and emerald green.

The secret to this mascara's impressive staying power lies in its tubing formula, which uses polymers to wrap around your lashes rather than coating them. We found that the tube’s thin applicator allowed us to thoroughly coat each lash without clumping, and we appreciated that its fine bristles evenly distributed the product.
Our testers noticed that this lengthening formula dried quickly without smudging — an important quality for mascara, especially during the summer — and didn’t flake or transfer over several hours of wear. When it came time to take off the mascara at the end of the day, it wiped away easily with warm water.

Aside from just looking good, this mascara is also good for you: Its formula contains shea butter and castor oil, so it nourishes your lashes throughout wear. Plus, makeup artist Michelle Spieler told PEOPLE she regularly relies on tubing mascaras ahead of long work days.
“I’ve personally used tubing mascara in the heat/humidity working long days on set for North Carolina TV/Film,” she shares. “After 16-hour days, my mascara stayed in place, no smudging or flaking.”
A five-star reviewer shared a similar sentiment, writing, “At 68 years old, I have sparse lashes. [This] mascara is the absolute best I have ever tried. It does not clump, each lash is defined and lengthened, and it lasts all day.”
