Reviews about Max Factor False Lash Effect Waterproof Mascara

I have never had a worse mascara, the only thing is that it won't smudge in rain or snow, but it's impossible to apply evenly. It clumps my lashes together and it's impossible to separate them. Removing it is a nightmare, even with their two-phase product, and you end up pulling out a bunch of lashes. DO NOT under any circumstances buy it, there are a billion times better options for the same price.

I ordered it as a gift for my mom. However, the mascara arrived without the transparent strip, indicating that it may have already been opened. When I tried it, I found that the mascara is somewhat dry and difficult to apply on the lashes. It feels like they sent a tester. Therefore, I am dissatisfied with the quality.

The mascara is very long-lasting. I bought it in the shade "black-brown" and I am happy with everything about it.

Pros:
+ The shade looks magical with brown eyes.
+ It provides good lengthening.
+ The mascara has a decent amount of product.
+ With some practice, the brush applies and separates the lashes well.
+ It is truly long-lasting, it can withstand both a mask-wearing mode and water, and it comes off easily with a two-phase remover.
+ It looks great with two coats.

Cons:
- After a month of use, I still find it difficult to work with the bulky brush and weak stopper - a lot of product remains on the brush and it's easy to get messy.
- The mascara arrived from Europe without any protective films, so I can only trust that no one used it before me.

The mascara is very long-lasting. It didn't smudge or leave any marks, and it was difficult to remove even with a waterproof makeup remover from L'Oreal. I deduct one star because it lacks the "false lash effect".

I wouldn't even give it one star. The only positive thing is that even when snow is blowing into your eyes with great force, the mascara stays in place.
Now for the negatives:
1. The brush is not even a brush. It's more like a broom that collects an excessive amount of mascara, about the size of two eyes. By the time you manage to apply a little bit on your lashes, your eyelids are completely covered with an even layer of black. You have to remove the excess mascara from the brush, like in the 90s.
2. My already long lashes look much shorter simply because it's practically impossible to apply mascara to the tips of the lashes, and if you manage to do so, they twist in the opposite direction.
3. The lashes stick together. While trying to untangle them with the brush, the mascara smudges along the lash line, which is impossible to wipe off without completely removing the makeup. As a result, it looks like the eyes are also lined with eyeliner.
4. It's impossible to curl the lashes with the brush. Not at all.

Honestly, this is the worst mascara I have ever used in my entire life. It's just terrible.

The mascara colors just like Max Factor 2000 Calorie, and luckily the formula is exactly the same, so I was worried about that. It comes off in one minute with hydrophilic oil, I have one from Avon for 80 UAH. The brush is normal, quite convenient, I can paint my eye corners well with it. It's strange that some people can't do it. With two coats, you can achieve a good length. It arrived fresh, by the way. Max Factor is the best ❤️ I haven't found such a formula anywhere else. With Maybelline, everything sticks together and turns into clumps after 2-3 coats. Here, you can layer it as much as you want, and you can even do it a couple of hours later, and it still looks decent. Fans of the Vivienne Sabo Cabaret effect probably won't like this mascara.

I can see only one positive aspect in this product, which is its waterproof feature. Apart from that, I do not notice any other advantages.

The mascara completely disappointed my expectations. It's a waste of money. It doesn't lengthen anything, no matter how hard you try. It works fine with the waterproof part, but it won't give you any volume or beautiful lashes.

It performs its main task of being waterproof flawlessly. This is especially important in winter conditions and when wearing a mask. I have straight eyelashes, and due to snow or breathing (because of the mask), my lashes would straighten out, but this mascara keeps them in their original state. Following the advice of others in the reviews, I purchased a waterproof makeup remover along with it, so I didn't encounter any major issues. I am satisfied. I ordered it here, and it was delivered from the EU (which may be important). Thank you.

The mascara is good, I bought it at the seaside, it lasts a long time and doesn't smudge in water. However, removing it is impossible, it starts to flake off around the 4th or 5th day. I've tried different products to remove it, but it doesn't come off. The manufacturer should immediately offer a makeup remover for it, it would be very helpful.

The worst mascara I have ever used in my life! Besides being waterproof, it has absolutely no other effects! It's a very watery substance that doesn't even coat the lashes very well. Instead, it instantly turns them into stiff, lifeless threads with no length or volume! Furthermore, a few hours later, the base of my lashes starts itching. I bought this mascara as a replacement for my beloved waterproof Christian Dior DiorShow Iconic mascara, which I also get from here, but only the tester version, as it's slightly cheaper. I will definitely not be buying this mascara again! What a waste of money! I should have added a bit more and bought something I actually like!

Regarding the waterproof feature, they hit the mark perfectly, and it provides a slight volume to the lashes. However, the "wow" effect is clearly lacking.

Regarding waterproofness - it is good, but in all other aspects, it is a complete disappointment. The mascara does nothing, it doesn't lift, separate, or elongate...the lashes just stick straight up, it's terrible...Money wasted.

I have been a customer of this online store for a long time and have never had any complaints. However, this time I received a mascara without a brush... I mean, completely without a brush!!! I have attached a photo to show it. And another unpleasant surprise was that there were no free gifts for orders over 1000 g. I am very disappointed.

I use this mascara because unlike other ones I've tried, it doesn't smudge or flake under my eyes throughout the day. I recommend removing it with hydrophilic oil or coconut oil, which is very easy to do, contrary to what was mentioned here about it taking 15 minutes.

Good mascara, doesn't come off with water. I have tried removing it with a makeup remover for waterproof makeup, but it's difficult. I read in reviews that it is easily removed with L'Oreal makeup remover, so I will give it a try. Overall, I am very satisfied.

Today I received the mascara, and it's amazing! It easily washes off with the Loreal waterproof makeup remover. Thank you so much!!!

Excellent mascara! I have tried it in the pool, at the beach, and even intentionally tried to wash it off with water - it doesn't come off! ;) I highly recommend it!

I was expecting to get my favorite mascara with blue accents on the body, but instead I received one with gold accents. I used to buy it regularly and loved it. However, now I don't understand it at all. The texture is great and the brush seems to be the same as before, but it applies differently on my lashes. I will test it further. My impression is ambiguous.

I was shocked when I applied it for the first time. It lasted perfectly all day, but when it came to removing the makeup, my heart almost stopped. It washes off terribly, I had to rub my lashes for at least 15 minutes to completely remove it. It left me with mixed feelings.

I always take it with me when I go on vacation. It can withstand water, heat, and sleepless nights without any problems! Just make sure to have a good waterproof makeup remover, and not a single eyelash will suffer))

This is the only truly waterproof mascara. When it is new, it is advisable to comb your lashes after applying it, as there is a lot of product. I recommend it.

If I were a "Night Wolf," I would have taken the mascara from the cosmetic bag and praised it. But since I'm writing on behalf of my daughter, here's what she says: the mascara is exactly as described in the advertisement, and she recommends it to everyone.

The mascara is truly waterproof - it gracefully withstands all tests :) and removing it is quite simple with the help of a two-phase makeup remover. It is more suitable for fans of natural makeup, as achieving the effect of "doll-like" false eyelashes will be difficult (in my opinion, not necessary either :)). It coats the lashes evenly, without clumps, and applies smoothly. The best waterproof mascara :)

I regret buying this product. Even with a special remover, the mascara only comes off mechanically. As a result, a lot of eyelashes fall out. The mascara effect is natural, but you need to apply several layers to achieve volume.

My favorite mascara, I remove it with a two-phase makeup remover from L'Oreal. I like everything about it, maybe I'm not as picky as others, I love it and won't change it. I read reviews about 5 layers and I can't imagine how people walk around with those 5 layers. I apply one layer, sometimes two, it's enough for me, I don't like to wear makeup too obviously. I confidently wear it in the rain, snowstorm, and heat, nothing will smudge or flake off. I recommend it for those who are not too picky, just make sure you have to purchase a two-phase makeup remover.

Mascara for enthusiasts. Truly waterproof, it can even withstand a regular face wash. It does not smudge. It does not cause itching or irritation. It can only be removed with a waterproof makeup remover. Do not expect to remove it with your regular face wash gel.

As for the negatives: it is quite inconvenient to apply and takes a very long time to dry. It does not give the effect of false eyelashes. On the contrary, the brush does not separate but clumps the lashes together. However, if you replace the manufacturer's brush with any other (more convenient) brush from a different mascara, the problem will disappear.

The mascara is simply delightful, I'm not sure what would happen with five coats, so I stuck to two to avoid a "doll-like" effect. Waterproofing is also important for me (my eyes are sensitive - sun, wind - they tear up immediately), and I haven't found anything better than Max Factor yet. Yes, the only problem is removing it, but dual-phase removers do the job perfectly. Special thanks to the store, they were fast, efficient, and their service was very pleasing.

I didn't have any doubts about its waterproofness, but the consistency itself is very greasy and the brush is not convenient - it creates clumps and smudges all over the eyelid. I have to use the brush from another mascara just to make it somewhat usable.

The first time I applied this mascara, it irritated my eyes, but it stopped after that. The application of the mascara is fine, but the brush is quite thick, which can be a bit inconvenient. It doesn't give much volume to the lashes. I removed it with a two-phase waterproof makeup remover from Maybelline, as it stays on well. The only positive thing is that it is great for wet weather and swimming.
