Advantages: Long and thick lashes! Disadvantages: Takes long to dry, doesn't smell that good
I’m not a girl who likes to use makeup. Unlike my twin, I only use some kohl, lip-gloss and mascara when I go to work or go out with friends or for special occasions.
I am lucky enough to have long, dark thick lashes so any kind of mascara should do for me without hassle!
However, not any mascara does the job for me. I have sensitive eyes, which can get irritated easily. I discovered that problem when I first used one of my sister’s mascaras; it ... ...to itch; when they got watery, I started to scratch my eyes (couldn’t help it) and ended up with panda eyes!
I thought maybe I should look for more expensive (well known) brands; they all worked perfectly . . . but again I had that urge to itch and I couldn’t wait to go home to wipe it off! Until I found the MaxFactor brand, I had not found any suitable mascara brand. Since then I’ve used it for years now and I‘m quite satisfied with the results. ...

...I came across Max Factors false lash effect mascara in Tesco as part of a deal. Usually priced around £8 I picked this up for £6.50, and thought, considering I need something to replace my Maybelline define a lash (which is awful, see previous review) and it was by Max Factor, but cheaper than the usual price that I would not normally pay, I'd give it a go.

It's fatter than most and is chunky. I quite like this and makes it easy ...

Advantages: Beautifully bold, thick eye lashes to flutter at everyone. Disadvantages: Not for people who already have very long eye lashes, like me!
...have been a fan of Max Factor's Masterpiece Max mascara for quite a while now, however I don't wear it quite often. A bold mascara isn't suitable for my eyelashes on a day to day basis, just sat in the office at a computer all day, and so I can't justify paying that much. When I saw all the recent advertising campaigns for this mascara, I was certainly drawn in. The claims of 'full lashes' whilst having a more natural look sounded great, and there ... ...I was pleased to see Max Factor False Lash Effect mascara on the list, I could finally try this one without paying for it.
=== Chubby Packaging gives off Bold Images ===
So first impressions, the packaging although quite simple, gives off a sleek and 'posh' image to this mascara. It's quite 'wide' in appearance compared to usual mascara tubes, again giving off images of boldness and volume, important factors in a mascara like this. Indeed the only ...

...promised this look is by Max Factor. I had never tried any of their products before , as I wasn't really that into make up before and so would only choose 'cheap' ones , as because I wasn't that much of a fan of make up I didn't think it was worth me buying 'expensive' products.

I 'open' the mascara ; simply twisting the top half and tada the wand pops out. The wand is quite long with a sharp and spiky looking brush. At first , I though 'argh no way can I put that near my eye!' , but it cerainly isn't as spiky as it looks. The brush has a lot of bristles on ...

Advantages: Longer eyelashes Disadvantages: Not quite false lash effect
...This product is made by Max Factor and is there False Lash effect mascara, which claims to give you full lashes yet with a natural look. Each bottle / tube contains 13.1ml.
The packaging and bottle:
Well, before I start this is the biggest and roundest looking mascara tube I have ever seen. It is really chubby towards the middle of the bottle, but this is probably so that it can fit in the huge brush!
The bottle itself is black with a gold rim ... ...different colour if you have purchased waterproof, etc!) It reads FALSE LASHE EFFECT MASCARA in large gold capitals.
The lid is round and gets thinner as you get to the top of the lid, I like the chunkiness of this as it is easier to hold in the hand then the small and flimsy ones, but if you have very small hands this may be harder! At the very end of the lid it is on a diagonal slant which adds detalining and makes it look more appealing and attractive!

Max Factor had been advertising this product and it had caught my eye on the television, which was my primary reason for purchasing. I really hoped that I would get the false lash effect it promised.

Max Factor False Lash Effect Mascara- the best I have ever used. So, I was in Boots not so long ago and I was looking around for something to spend my advantage card points on and someone walked past me with huge eyelashes.

There is no need to struggle with flase eyelashes if there are mascaras like this around. Even if you have shorter length eyelashes, this would still work!

This is because I find if you put ...

False lash effect?
********************
It does make your lashes thicker but not in the spider lashes sense... they coat each lash evenly making it have a fanned out effect so it does give the illusion of a few extra lashes :) you don't need to use a curler pre mascara because it creates a nice lift without it.
Easy to use?

Very easy to use, only takes a couple of strokes to create the nice ... ...it look more false lashed but if you do like to look naturale then only do a few stroked so its a thinner coat,

Positives

Advantages: Dark colour, thick lashes once several coats applied Disadvantages: Dark patches under the eyes, not easy to remove, quite pricey
I have been on the quest to find the perfect mascara and have yet to find it. I bought the black waterproof version of this mascara and I found I have to apply 3 coats to get a good covering and to make my lashes look thicker but it does look good and colour is nice and dark. The reason I bought the waterproof version was in the hope I would no longer suffer from dark patches under the eyes from the mascara but I found I have to clean under the eyes ...

Review of Max Factor False Lash Effect Mascara
Advantages: Good coverage, reasonable length and volume. Disadvantages: Doesn't live up to name.
From seeing the adverts of this mascara and what it claims to do – I thought it was worth a try. So I asked my boyfriend to buy me it as a part of a birthday present, and he did. I was happy to finally own this mascara and try it out for myself, after it claims to be the alternative to false lashes.
Appearance:
Once I had it I took a good look at it before using it, thinking that it was quite a big bottle and wand/brush. This made me feel that ... ...I then began to apply it to my lashes.
Application:
I thought that the mascara went onto my lashes normally – like any other mascara. Results:
I found that the results were quite disappointing. It is a good mascara to use as I felt is gave my lashes reasonable volume and length, but does not live up to its name – false lash effect – as I felt my lashes did not look false or any different than using any other traditional mascara. I was expecting ...

Advantages: does volumise eyelashes.....at first, a great look Disadvantages: dries out quick, irratates eyes, runs out quick, expensive
You must be thinking, finally there is a advert that doesn't use false eyelashes for the mascara! Though on the advert it didn't look that volumise, i've got to admit though it's a great advert trick they made. The only reason i brought it is because they said "It was america's biggest mascara launch last year" So i deceided to buy one and try it for my self. Although i brought it, i did excidently buy the wrong shade, i brought the brown shade for ... ...my eyelashes though.
i used to pull out my eyelashes when i was a child (don't ask why!) so i really don't have as much as i used to, even still i expected the mascara to still be pretty good. Yes it was pretty great at first, When i first opened the tube, i was amazed at the size of the brush, because brush yet, it was so easy to put the brush back into the tube (as the past mascaras i have had have missed the tube many of times) i was so happy ...

Advantages: Doesn't clump, thick brush with short bristles, separates lashes well Disadvantages: Doesn't give false lash effect, fairly expensive for an average mascara
I've been a Max Factor mascara devotee for a very long time. I've been using Dramatic Look 2000 and honestly thought that for my eyelashes it's the best thing out there. But I decided to try out False Lash Effect. Now from my experience I know that Max Factor Mascaras won't work very well on people that have naturally thin and sparse eye-lashes. I remember one time a friend wanted to know which mascara I'm using because my lashes looked really full ... ...opposed to your standard 9ml Max Factor mascaras (2000 calories)
The brush itself if really thick but with short bristles and when you put it on, there's no clumping whatsoever. My theory is that it tries to lift the hair from it's root and that's how you're supposed to get "false lash" effect. Now, it works great on me cos I naturally have long lashes and I never had any problems making my eyes look great. My main problem with mascaras was that ...

I absolutely love this mascara and I have to say, its the best i've had yet! I am very fair and have fine hair, even my eyelashes are fine. So finding a decent mascara is something I have been working on for a some years now. All these mascaras that keep coming onto the scene promising thicker and fuller lashes never seem to work for me.

Advantages: Natural looking eyes; yet adds volume and length. Comes in many tones Disadvantages: Expensive; brush so big that it puts the prouct on eyelids.
I got the brown black colour because i am a blonde as full on black would look harsh and artificial on me. That is the first pro; that they offer a wide range of tones to choose from to suit your hair color. The brush sure is big; which is good as it adds good volume; yet keeps it looking natural; and length; though not the most length i have ever seen a mascara produce; But again; it keeps it looking natural. It does not curl your lashes significantly; ... ...it to do it slightly i guess is a pro; but then again us girls have eye lash curlers for that. If you apply a second coat to the already dyed lashes; or if you curl then when they are dry; they will create " mascara crumbs" thought the day like most mascaras; but not as bad as most. Because it is a big brush it is harder to reach the ends of the eyes; and to do the bottom lashes; but you get used to it and it really isnt a bother. But a bad thing ...
