Max Factor Masterpiece Mascara Waterproof Waterproof Mascara

This isn't mascara; it's a complete disaster. It applies terribly, providing neither length nor volume, and it's hard to remove even with a dual-phase cleanser. It's definitely waterproof, 100%. After two weeks of trying to apply and remove it properly, it just ended up in the trash.

Every time I read reviews claiming that it's impossible to remove waterproof mascara with micellar water, gel, foam cleansers, etc., I'm surprised. All waterproof mascaras can be easily removed with a specially designed product—a two-phase makeup remover for waterproof cosmetics.

As for this particular mascara, it's fantastic. It's long-lasting (which is its main purpose), withstands fog, rain, and snow without flaking or smudging. The brush is very thin, which helps me avoid accidentally getting mascara on my eyelids while applying it, making it incredibly convenient to use. I'm 100% satisfied.

This mascara is nothing short of a misunderstanding. I can't fathom why people still buy this product. I fell for it too.

To get to the point: the mascara is terrible, especially for eyelashes like mine, which are small and not very voluminous. It's as if the mascara doesn't even notice them.

Thank you. They finally delivered the waterproof version on the fifth attempt instead of the regular one.

The mascara in the photo is not waterproof.

I love this mascara. It's easy to remove, lasts all day, and lengthens my lashes.

I am disappointed with this product. It is not waterproof, and there is no indication of this on the tube. There is also no information about the manufacturing date or even an expiration date. The mascara is a bit dry (I thinned it with eye drops). I bought a dual-phase micellar water to remove waterproof makeup, but it came off with a regular cleanser. The scent of the mascara is not pleasant, but the color is nice, which is the only positive aspect.

The shade is a beautiful dark brown, which looks a bit softer than black. I bought it for daytime makeup. It’s incredibly waterproof and only comes off with oil-based removers. The brush is more lengthening than volumizing. It never smudges or flakes. I deducted one star because it doesn't make my lashes look fuller, just slightly more defined. The formula seems a bit runny rather than creamy. For waterproofing, it gets a 5+. For consistency and coverage, I rate it a 4-.

Here's a coherent English version of the product review:

"This mascara is not waterproof at all. It starts to flake after a couple of hours and runs immediately if you shed a tear or get caught in the rain. It arrived dry and without packaging, so it had some scratches. It might be okay if it were more liquid, but again, it's definitely not a waterproof product."

This mascara is amazing! It's truly waterproof, lasting all day and looking freshly applied without flaking. The price-quality ratio is perfect for me—definitely worth it. I appreciate the volume, as it won't dry out before I can use it all. Even after 10 hours, it doesn't irritate my eyes, which is crucial for me as an allergy sufferer. Applying it with zigzag motions worked best; it prevents smudging on the upper eyelid and ensures even distribution. The first layer looks very natural, lengthening and slightly curling the lashes, but it doesn't add volume. The brush does a great job of separating the lashes with no clumping. The second layer is closer to black and more dramatic, yet it remains a soft dark brown rather than a bold, stark black. This allows for playing with shades and expressiveness. It washes off easily with a regular two-phase makeup remover. I tried Avon and Yves Rocher removers, and both worked effortlessly: just apply the product to cotton pads, hold them against the eyes, count to 45, and done. :) It won't come off with water, rain, or tears, which is expected since it's "waterproof." :) Overall, this mascara is exactly what I wanted and hoped for—it met all my expectations! It's going to be my new favorite. :) Thanks to the Makeup store for helping me find it since it wasn't available in my city!
