Max Factor False Lash Epic Volume Mascara - Black

I get asked everywhere which mascara I use because my lashes look fake 😅. So it’s safe to say the product delivers the results of its namesake! I’ve been using this for years! I love the brush design, though I do sometimes wipe excess mascara off the brush onto the rim of the body as it can come out clumpy and be difficult to pay with. That said I love the consistency and the clumps aren’t dry, it’s just excess product. I typically apply 2/3 coats allowing the product to dry on my lashes between coats. The product holds up really well for me in the colder months (which isn’t an issue in the uk 😂), but in the summer months where I have oily eyes the product begins to breakdown and transfer on my eyelids or crumble throughout the day. I have tried the waterproof version in hope it was sweaty eyes instead of oily but the same problem occurred. Despite this, I still love the product, and as a bonus you get more product in the bottle than other competitors so more for your money! 🙌

In my opinion, three things make up an excellent mascara. -The mascara not coming off when you don't want it off -The mascara coming off when you want it off - The voluminous effect it has on the lashes This mascara gets 2 out of 3 based on my criteria. Living in the Netherlands I need mascara that lasts and will not make me look like a raccoon after walking or biking in the rain. However, I need a mascara that is not too rough/ harsh on my eyelashes and does not cause them to fall out when removing my makeup after a long day. For me, these are the two most significant conditions when choosing a mascara, but at the end of the day, mascara is worn to enhance the appearance of the lashes. This is the part where the Max Factor False Lash Epic Mascara, unfortunately, did not live up to its expectations. In spite of the promising name, I cannot say that it gave off a false lash effect, though the mascara worked well on my eyes. Therefore, if you want a more subtle effect for a more everyday look, this is the perfect mascara for you, but if you like your looks more dramatic, I fear this mascara will disappoint you, as it will not offer you the results you expect.

On a photo example of lashes with this mascara and lancome hypnose which I love. Max Factor has huge brush which in a result is not comfortable in my opinion at all and in a result all skin around in mascara (I think everyone agree with me it's not that great if you have eye shadows). To make lashes to look nice you need 3 layers. I'm not a fan of false lashes effect but I'm happy that this mascara didn't make my lashes to look like a spider legs. Overall this mascara is ok but I wish the brush could be smaller.
