MAX FACTOR - False Lash Effect Mascara - Volumising Formula, Pro-Vitamin B5, Clump-Free, Flake-Free, Smudge-Proof - 01 Black - 13.1ml

I am a mascara fanatic. I want a mascara that will give me crazy long and thick lashes, won't clump, won't streak or flake, and won't look spidery. I want one that also comes off easily when I want to remove it and doesn't irritate my eyes. I'm not asking for much, am I? I have found a number of mascaras that I liked but that didn't fit all my criteria. After hearing about and reading reviews of Max Factor False Lash Effect Mascara, I had to try it. I bought it and was very eager to try it. The tube is thick but the brush is a dense comb. It isn't a huge brush but it is fairly substantial with short comb-like bristles. The formula is not watery or messy. I didn't apply primer the first time I tried it because I wanted to see how the mascara performed alone. The first coat was decent, nothing special. Three coats in, I did have longer looking eyelashes. They were darker and a bit thicker. I didn't get a lot of volume with the mascara which is often the case with me. I have straight, medium length lashes that are thin and need to be plumped up. This mascara did give me enough volume so that my lashes didn't look like spidery sticks. However, I did not look like I had false lashes on nor did I find the mascara to be that much better than a couple of cheaper mascaras This mascara doesn't flake throughout the day and it holds up well. If it gave me a bit more volume, I would really like this. It is clump free even with numerous coats which is a real plus. The mascara washes off with my facial cleanser or eye makeup remover and doesn't irritate my eyes at all. I do think it is a BIT pricey for the results but I have enjoyed the overall effect and immediate longer lash look. In all, I am going with 4 stars. I wasn't blown away but it takes a LOT to blow me away and only a couple of mascaras ever have (but clearly not enough for me to stop looking for even better results). For the price point, this mascara delivers well although I think it's a tad pricey compared to other drugstore mascaras that work well like Covergirl's LashExact which is around $7.00 and gives comparative results. I would go with 3.5 stars but can't so I went to 4. If you are looking for a mascara that lengthens, darkens, and adds some volume and that isn't clumpy, this is a good choice. It may be a GREAT choice for those who don't demand so much from a mascara like I do.

I’ve been using this mascara for years and absolutely love it! It gives my lashes great volume and length, doesn’t smudge, and is easy to apply. Definitely a long-time favourite!

Suits me as I like quite a natural look. The brush is awesome in separating the lashes. With double layers it looks pretty cool yet still natural. By no means it is a false lash effect no matter how many layers you put on. Depends what you are after but in my opinion it's a great product, not magnificent but great, and I will probably buy it again. It doesn't smudge, doesn't make your eyes watery or anything. I attach a photo where you can see one eye done and one plain.

Love this mascara

It's ok but I wouldn't buy it again

I find it the best mascara ive used in fact ive used Max Factor for yrs id never change either

EDIT: I have been told i will be getting the full refund for my mascara so i'm happy enough with that. I did have to submit pictures of car codes and dispenser and brush etc but was responded to fairly quickly. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This product arrived unsealed.. and when i opened it, the mascara inside was very dry. I tried to return it but it's not eligible for self return so i had to contact coty, the manufacturer that makes the Mascara. I then was asked to upload receipts, pictures of the bar caode, which is fine, but i was also informed there would be an etched number on the item itself, no such 'etched' number. The bar code sticker also looked roughly put on, This is not the same experience i'v e had when buying this product from a physical store such as Boots chemist etc. I was informed by coty person 'Patricia' that hygiene seals aren't required and so they don't add them due to the environmental impact of using more 'plastic'. Really NOT happy... don't even bother buying this as you will be passed from pillar to post. Also as i use a PC and not a phone, and didn't have a webcam connected.. i was told they will email with instructions as to how to upload pictures to send them to them. I have a feeling this is really old stock, or it was maybe abatch that should have been trashed at the factory due to a manufacturing problem, but instead of doing that they decide to sell through Amazon and hope nobody challenges it. Email still not arrived......

Excellent its very good great price and product

Lovely mascara no clumps

Kirpikleri çok güzel ayırıyor fakat beklediğim hacim ve uzunluk etkisini göremedim. Fiyatına değer mi emin değilim.

It's easy to apply without clumping and makes eyelashes look natural.

Snabb leverans och bäst pris

Pretty good! I was recommended by a friend, I decided to give it a try. I was expecting more of a wow factor. Drug store brands has lore of an effect.
