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 mascarasThis 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 was expecting it to be another mascara clone but this is something different: this really does give you gorgeous lashes! I applied in the morning and saw the interesting plastic not bristle type applicator - I wondered if this was going to apply ok. The application was simple, the only minor problem I had was with the lashes at the far edge of my eyes, as the applicator is quite fat and I had to take care not to touch my skin accidently but this was a minor point only.The effect on my lashes after application was dramatic. My lashes are fine and not that numerous and this made them look much thicker, more plentiful and longer. I really liked this product and I think Max Factor have done a good job,as usual.I chopped loads of onions to see what the effect of tears/crying would have. Even though it was not advertised as waterproof I wanted to find out how well it could handle that. There was some smudging/loss possible as when I dabbed at my eye with a tissue some mascara came off the lashes, but it did not run. All in all then though not waterproof, it held up to a serious bout of tears from onion chopping and will do as long as you do not smudge it by touching your eyes, though this is sometimes tempting when they are stinging from lots of onion chopping!

At last a beauty product that does exactly as it says it should.Normally I have sensitive eyes and have to be careful with whatever eye make up I use. I get fed up of buying expensive makes only to find that after a few uses I develop a reaction to them, so they end up being binned.This one from Max Factor is one which I have been using now for a while and no reaction at all, well apart from 'are you wearing something different with your eye make up?' Now when my husband asks this question, it can only be a good reaction.Seriously it does flatter your lashes and not in a clumpy or cloggy way, your lashes will be defined and without you having 'panda eyes' later in the day.The brush is a nice size and gets to all your lashes. I use the black and it really is a intensive black, not a wishy washy one. The other colour it comes in is brown.If you are looking for a not too expensive mascara and one that does produce the effect of having lots of lashes without having to resort to false stick on lashes, this is the one. And 'panda eyes' no more.This is also one to wear and not worry about crying whilst wearing it as it does not run or streak down your face.

I do love my posh beauty brands with their supermodel advertising and glam packaging (yes, shallow, I know), so wasn't really expecting to be wowed by this Max Factor mascara - but what a surprise - it's really very good indeed.The formula thickens lashes extremely effectively, but without the use of those horrible fibres that look so clumpy and messy. Thus, you end up with more voluminous lashes, but they still look natural, with shine and definition.The chunky asymetric tube looks great, and is comfortable to hold. The brush is the rubberised type with very short bristles - which means it's easy to get to the base of the lashes and perform a clean and accurate application of the product.I have sensitive eyes,but had no problems at all with this mascara. And another bonus is that it seems to wash off far more easily than most brands - it came away cleanly with one sweep of an oil-based cleanser, and I didn't have horrible panda-eyes afterwards that necessitated prolonged cleansing or rubbing.I usually like to highlight a few negatives in my reviews in the interests of balance, but with this product, there aren't any.

This mascara certainly made my eyelashes look longer and thicker. It especially enhanced my lower eyelashes, which are pretty nonexistent - thanks to this I now have lower lashes as well.Although not described as such, this mascara seems pretty smudgeproof, it lasts all day and saw me through an eye watering visit to the dentist without me ending up with panda eyes, unlike previous mascaras. It doesn't flake either. For evening I was able to put another layer on to enhance the effect without it clumping.Comes off with ordinary cleanser and very little residue on either cotton wool or lashes.On the minus side, I don't much like the packaging - its almost 6 inches long and an inch thick and therefore can't be easily slipped into an evening handbag.The case is so chunky that I'd apply it at home, but not take it out with me. The rubberised applicator was a bit offputting too when you're used to a brush, but it does work and allows you to get close in to the roots of your lashes so this can't be considered a serious drawback.Not budget in my opinion, but overall worth the money.

Looking for a mascara that gives gorgeous thick lashes, full of volume and simply gorgeous? Look no further! This mascara will not only give you amazing volume, but will also do this CLUMP free and without making your lashes look FAKE. This is a false lash 'effect' mascara, without the fakeness!The new is surprisingly larger than a usual mascara brush, but it gives you great volume and is easy to sweap through your eye lashes.The only disadvantage to this brush is that the usually 'clumpy' bit of mascara you usually get on the end of a brush is larger than usual, but it's easy to wipe off back into the mascara tube itself.I wear this mascara all day and it doesn't smudge or smear,and I certainly did not have panda eyes! However when it is time to remove the mascara, it comes away easily with your make-up remover.In all this is another great mascara from Max Factor, and an essential for a night out or special occasions!

One of my favourite mascara! I have bought it few times now and still planning to buy when current one will be finished. This mascara is miles cheaper than a designer brand but delivers the results you'd expect from a high end mascara. The brush is perfect and easily reaches the lashes at the very corner of your eyes to ensure an even spread of mascara. After just one application I find my eyelashes look longer and much more defined - each lash seems to stand out. It definitely accentuates the eye area without looking fake.One of the most impressive things about this mascara is that it seems virtually smudge proof. All other mascaras I've tried have smudged on my under-eye skin if I blink too soon after applying,but this doesn't happen at all with 2000 Calorie. It seems to dry almost immediately. Rain and perspiration doesn't budge it, but it comes off easily enough when you wash your face.

I used to use this mascara years ago and what with COVID causing all the shops to be shut, I had to come to amazon to replace the one I was using that ran out.I remembered this to be a great mascara when I had it in the past and repurchasing and using it again didn’t disappoint at all!It gives great lift, curl and thickness to my lashes. It has a great chunky plastic brush as opposed to the classic bristle mascara brushes that I hate!It stays in place all day long and doesn’t smudge or give me that horrible black goop in the corner of my eyes.I can’t really fault this mascara at all, it really does give a false lash effect without using false lashes and the price on amazon is outstanding!I believe it’s around £10 in boots and I think I paid around £5 for it on amazon. Absolutely amazing value for money and I will definitely repurchase.

My normal brand of mascara is Boots Number 7 but when I was offered a chance of reviewing this brand I jumped at it; basically my lashes aren't particularly long so despite dyeing them once a month I need a dark mascara to really bring my lashes out under my glasses. This mascara comes in an ergonomically designed package which makes it easy to handle and produces a steady result. The brush is stiffer than most and doesn't seem to attract as many clumps. It's easy to give your lashes two thin coats and the formula makes every individual lash stand out, although I doubt it makes them 50% thicker! It's easy to remove and leaves no sticky residue.In conclusion,Max Factor False Lash Effect Mascara is an excellent mid priced product which does the job well. I'd recommend it to anyone who needs a mascara which provides a defined result.

My whole life I've avoided mascara - hated the artificial spidery eyes look. The one mascara I bought left me looking like a panda and reinforced my belief that mascaras are awful things. It was so difficult to apply, and constantly smudged all over my eyes, and left clumps on the lashes.Then I thought I'd give this a go. In a word, great. The plastic wand/bristles is much easier to use than natural bristles and makes much less mess. The lashes definitely seem longer and fuller. Its much easier to apply. But I would say if you have naturally long lashes like mine, then 3 coats is really overdoing it. I tend to stick with 1-2 coats to avoid the fake look.I've taken a star off just because its not waterproof,wh/ means for someone like me, who yawns like crazy and gets watery eyes 10x a day, it can be a disaster. Use with care. :D

Overall this product was excellent and for the price I would definitely get it again:GOOD- The Mascara applied itself very smoothly with no unevenness or clumps.- As well as this it did not smudge and retained it's effect for up to 8 hours (the longest I ever tried it for).- Probably the biggest bonus was that there was no remover needed. The mascara washed off easily with just soap and water. I am unsure however as to whether or not this could be a negative point as well?- Possibly the best point about the mascara was that it was far better than the last one I had used and both were of a very similar price.BAD- None really.So then, in summary it was the first time I had tried a product from Max Factor (as far as I can remember)and I am extremely impressed. For the price I would definitely buy again.

This is a simple but effective product that just works with no real problems. For the cheap price this mascara works surprisingly well.With the brush, the mascara is easy to apply as it goes on evenly over your lashes with no trouble. After applying, it lasts and should look good over the whole day. It’s every effective at not only thickening and lengthening your lashes, but also separating them for more natural look. Importantly, there is no need to worry about smudging like you get with some other products. Also, as the product is water based it is also easy to remove at the end of the day.Something worth noting is that the mascara does not arrive sealed like it would be in a store,so there is a chance of leaking in shipping.Overall, you can’t fault this product, especially for the price. Would recommend.

It seems Amazon was glitchy over the weekend, and I don't particularly want to spend an hour writing up yet another review for mascara (as great as it is), so please excuse a little paucity.The brush is super-bristly, so it separates your lashes and ensures each is coated, without any lumps or gloopy bits. There aren't even any gloopy bits on the brush. The tube is the perfect width (quite wide) so it rests between your thumb and first finger perfectly. Sounds daft, but it makes applying the actual mascara very comfortable.Downsides: it's not waterproof. Also, while it applies nicely, it doesn't give a false lash-effect, if that's specifically what you're after. It extends a little,and each lash is coated, but it won't give you the lashes of a camel so, 4 stars. But 4 doe-eyed, happy ones.

Not blessed with an abundance of long, thick eyelashes, a product that can offer me just that is on par with the Holy Grail. A mascara that will have me fluttering eyelashes with the best of them? Gimme!So does it work? Well at this moment in time I'm sporting exactly as promised; thick, dark lashes where before there was nothing. Imagine a desert brought to life with every stroke of the mascara brush. Before application my eyelashes were stumpy little weeds, and now they are beautiful and bountiful, thick, lush and long enough to warrant positioning my glasses carefully or risk injury. The application wand is a nice chunky design and certainly captures the tiniest lash whilst even someone aseyelash deficient as me requires only one coat to obtain a great result.

I have relatively short eyelashes (long story short someone told me when I was a kid that if you cut your eyelashes off they grow like the models you see on adverts, and how am I supposed to know fake eyelashes exist at 6 years old? Harsh, right?! I mean my eyelashes arent short short but I always wonder what could have been) anyway, I digress. I will never experience the full effect of full lash effect mascara after that tragedy HOWEVER this mascara was brilliant! I didnt need to curl my lashes, just put it straight on and BOOM I had longer lashes. Although the mascara is great, I did find that it would leave those little black marks above my eyelids from smudging but nowhere near as bad as other products I have used.Overall great product. Would recommend.
