This is my favourite mascara.
I have sensitive eyes and this doesn’t irritate at all.
If I put one coat on and then wait 30-60 seconds before putting another coat on, it makes me look like I actually have false lashes on. Beautiful, but natural lashes.

*NO Mascara on the left eye in the pic (or my right one IRL), mascara on the right side…even though it’s sorta obv*

I thought the tagline of “fake lash effect” was going to be just another mascara claiming the buzzword to blind buyers, HOWEVER, I’m please to say it adds smooth and even definition.

The ‘spikier’ less ‘brush-like’ bristles allow the product to slide right off and reduces the likelihood of clumping.
Most mascaras are a cream formula so they often coagulate over time due to temp and the ingredients braking down and separating sue to density.
Tip: leave it close to your body, out in the sun, in some shallow hot water etc. to help black it back down so the product becomes as smooth as possible and your eyelashes don’t get all clumpy/stick together!

Packaging is gorg obv. Iridescent wing detailing and slanted cap look great.

It does seem a tad stubborn to get off but the flip side of that is that it’s less likely to smudge 🙂

Haven’t had the chance to do a trial run of it yet – longevity, waterproof? etc. *hence not giving 5 stars just yet* – but so far, I would recommend!

As a older woman it taken my a long time to find a decent mascara thats suits my eyes now well this ones really good so far hies on nicely bulky my lashes without clumps & doesnt make me look silly like some have. Will definitely buy agai

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.
