Princess Andre has finally revealed exactly how she creates her ‘unreal’ long and fluttery eyelashes, and it’s all thanks to a clever trick with an affordable £10 mascara
From how she keeps her ultra-long hair so healthy and shiny, to her teen-friendly skincare secrets, Princess Andre has no shortage of beauty requests from fans. And the latest one is how to perfect her signature lengthy eyelashes without resorting to false lashes.
Never one to gatekeep a beauty hack, Princess has shared a full TikTok video where she explains how to copy her fluttery lash look, and her secret weapon is the MCoBeauty XtendLash Tubing Mascara. The ultra-affordable mascara can be picked up for just £10 at Superdrug, with Princess saying she picked it specifically because of the wand.

In her TikTok video, Princess said she always picks a mascara with a bristly wand like the MCoBeauty one because it helps wrap around each individual lash, making them look fluffier and fuller. However it’s not just the mascara itself that does all the hardwork; Princess has a genius way of applying it which maximises the length and fullness of each lash.
Rather than applying underneath, she shared that she starts on top of the lashes, applying from root to tip and curling the mascara wand as she applies which helps to create natural lift and curl, emphasising their length. Then she applies a second coat underneath, recommending that you start from the middle of your lash and roll upwards, before adding another coat from the roots.
When applying this third coat, Princess suggests wiggling the mascara wand side to side to help really separate each lash out, making them look fuller and thicker. As she shows off the final effects, Princess adds that it gives a “false lash effect” – all without having to faff on with glue and placement.
The MCoBeauty XtendLash Tubing Mascara Princess uses is great for these kinds of dramatic mascara looks, with a tubing mascara specifically designed to wrap around each individual lash. The mascara also stays in place all day, with no flaking or smudging, whilst still being easy to remove at the end of the day.
Other options include UKLash’s Tubing Mascara, which you can pick up for £16 and comes in two shades; black and brown. Alternatively, REFY’s Lash Sculpt is £22 and has been specially designed to lift, shape, and define every single lash, giving it a sculpted false lash look.
However Superdrug shoppers have been loving the XtendLash Tubing Mascara, with one reviewer writing: “XtendLash Mascara lengthened and separated my lashes beautifully, super natural but still defined, and the best part – it removes so easily with warm water.”
Another agreed: “My new favourite mascara! I’ve stopped wearing lashes as I’ve become a mascara hoarder and this has become my top 5! Gives amazing length to my lashes and is also a tubing mascara! Absolutely loved it!”
Some were less wowed by its effects, with one person saying: “This mascara is decent but nothing groundbreaking. It adds a bit of length and definition, but I wouldn’t say it gives a dramatic effect. It’s a standard mascara that does the job but doesn’t really wow me, it is good for everyday use but not a must have.”
But others loved the XtendLash Tubing Mascara, chiming in: “The MCoBeauty Xtendlash Mascara is a good everyday mascara, it makes my lashes look super long and defined without clumping. It’s easy to remove but did seem to transfer easily onto my brow.”
