...by the promised percentage by Max Factor. As for the 'iFX' brush, I really can't see a huge difference between this brush compared to the vast number of mascaras that I have used over the years. Perhaps this is due to the fact that I didn't apply it as directed by Max Factor: 'Stroke downwards on upper lashes then sweep from base to tip.' I can't use it downwards on the upper lashes, have to use it from the base to the tip - perhaps that's where ...

Review of Max Factor Masterpiece Max Mascara

Max Factor mascaras are the best around in my opinion. I started off using their Classis Stretch mascara a few years ago, then moved on to Lash Lift, but then they brought out Max Factor Masterpiece. I was in love. I still am. It's by far the best mascara I have ever tried, and it seems that I wasn't the only one with that opinion. Even now, I still read rave reviews in magazines, and see make-up artists recommending it on TV. It is rare I will stick ...
...time), but I've been using Max Factor Masterpiece for a very long time. Even so, when they brought out Max Factor Masterpiece Max, I was reluctant to try it. I find many brands ride on the back of the success of one product, and use it's names to promote new ones. Take Boots No.7's protect and perfect for example. After the huge success of that product, they are now bringing out countless others, all with 'Protect and Perfect' stuck on the front ...

Review of Max Factor Masterpiece Max Mascara

...mascara! I like my Max Factor make up but as you are probably aware it is quite pricey! £10 plus for a foundation, £8 plus for a mascara etc, so I was pleased when I got this mascara for £5 on special offer at Asda! But prices go up to around £9. It is the featured mascara for Milan fashion week so a good ad to start!! I was going to a wedding on the Friday so wanted something good! I have short eyelashes so have always wanted to try a lash extending ...
...shorter. The Masterpiece Max mascara claims to increase your lash volume by 400%, compared to bare lashes - a tall order I thought! So what is it like!! The product - as stylish as ever Max Factor presents this mascara in a Black tube with gold trim, yes, a very classy look for a very classy item! The item is available in waterproof and non waterproof in brown, black and brown-black. The screw top is easy to reveal the brush. Although you can not ...

Review of Max Factor Masterpiece Max Mascara

I'm a huge fan of Max Factor products and have tried almost all of them I think! I find most of their range to be very high quality and as I use alot of different make up I like that theirs doesn't seem to deteriorate after a couple of months. Which means I can continue wearing a different look every day! I bought this mascara when it first came out in the uk, it cost me £6.99 on special offer, but I believe it retails at £8.99 in most stores. If ...
...defines and lengthens lashes, Masterpiece Max carries on the good name but it also boosts lashes and makes them appear fuller, thicker and stand out alot more. This is what I would call a night time mascara. I never use this during the day as it's a little heavy in my opinion for the fresh natural look I prefer for everyday. However, on the rare occasion I do leave my house under the cover of darkness I like to jazz up my make up and finish off ...

Review of Max Factor Masterpiece Max Mascara

...causes the problem. The Masterpiece MAX Mascara has an almost contoured brush to replicate the natural shape of the human eye, whereas most others seem to be completely straight with those spiralled bristles from top to bottom. The result being your eyelashes actually sticking together rather than seperating as they naturally should, and the overall visual result is more of a clump of lashes than anything actually defining about the eye. Those being ...
...fact that even though Masterpiece Max doesn't state that it is waterproof on the bottle, it actually can withstand the brute force of driving rain on my way home from work. Many's the time I used to get on the bus to bewildered stares from old women wondering if I'd just been on an assault course with the British Army! Masterpiece Max is also very delicately perfumed. I know it doesn't matter much because you can't smell it once it's dry but whatever ...

Review of Max Factor Masterpiece Max Mascara

...not so compared to other Max Factor products, so expected a quality justified by the price. I've used several other mascaras in the past - Revlon Lash Lights, Sephora's own brand, No 7, L'Oreal etc, but they did nothing other than slightly separate (and gunk up) my lashes. The mascara itself has a light texture, doesn't clog up your eyes, and dries quickly, which is useful if you have lighter-shaded lashes and need to apply multiple coats. If you're ...
...piece of non-lint tissue. I also suggest using an eyelash comb to feather out and evenly spread out the lashes before piling it on so you get maximum separation, otherwise you'll end up looking like a drag queen (and not in the good way). If you can, buy a two-sided magnified mirror so the application is more accurate. Given that my eyelashes are freakishly long already, I tend to sweep them slightly to the side so it frames my eyes, instead of ...

Review of Max Factor Masterpiece Max Mascara

I absolutely loved the original Max Factor Masterpiece - the one that was used in Memoirs of a Geisha. I received it as a stocking filler from my Auntie and Uncle Christmas 2006 and, I have to say, it became one of my very few Holy Grail mascaras. When MP Max went on sale, I bought it the following week and I was actually really disappointed with the results. Following my success with the original Masterpiece, I thought "this will definitely be ...
...original doesn't clump, I feel Max Factor may have made this second formulation a little too thick in their attempt of achieving thick, full and voluminous lashes. Furthermore, this mascara tends to make my lashes a little straight and stiff - whilst the original MP curled them. I know I keep mentioning the normal Masterpiece, but it's good for comparison purposes, I believe. Scent-wise, it's good. It doesn't have that thick, overpowering gluey ...

Review of Max Factor Masterpiece Max Mascara

Max Factor Masterpiece MAX Mascara was launched following the huge succes of the Max Factor Masterpiece Mascara. The "MAX" was supposed to make eyes look even more dramatic, with fuller volume, thickness and length. Priced at £9.99, it is £1 more expensive than the original Masterpiece Mascara. Is it worth it? I'm personally really impressed by this mascara. The brush is made of rubber-spikey things, which means that the mascara doesn't clump ...
...my normal Lancome mascara. This Max Factor Mascara gives me more lashes because of this! This mascara is really easy to apply because of the brush. The rubber spikes allow the mascara to glide on to your eyelashes without clumps. Applying 2 or more coats does not give your lashes that horrible "spider lashes" effect - but simply makes your lashes look more defined and fuller. The packaging of the mascara is quite simple - in black casing, it looks ...

Review of Max Factor Masterpiece Max Mascara

...women but this one by Max Factor is definitely up to the task. I don’t have very long lashes and they point mainly away from the eye rather then up. By using an eyelash curler and then the mascara, my lashes look longer and fuller. Application The first time I used it I thought it was very smeary and had to apply more than one layer to make it even. By applying it multiple times I got the ‘longer look’ as the product promises for your lashes but ...
...the lashes together but Masterpiece Max did not do this to my eyelashes even though I put several layers on. The Product The packaging of the mascara is, from my point of view, very attractive and sophisticated which makes you want to buy it just for the way it looks. It is easy to hold and the brush doesn’t break or bend, which is rare for mascara brushes. but I have come across one before. That was though cheap mascara from H&M and was not a big ...

Review of Max Factor Masterpiece Max Mascara

...actually own the MaxFactor Masterpiece Max which comes in a sexy black tube. It looks sleek in my handbag but the shape is easily identifiable making it easier for eyelash-envious friends to nick!! You can tell the brush is a special high-tech brush that all the cosmetic companies seem to be advertising, which is nice. -Does it work?- Does it turn my asian, stick straight, almost nonexistent eyelashes into 'sumin-sumin'- you mean.... Why yes ...
...about this. Whenever I see someone with amazingly long eyelashes I ask them where they got their mascara and lately a lot of them have answered "MaxFactor". Also, I found this glowing review of this product on the kissandmakeup.tv beauty blog and therefore decided to hit boots and buy the damn thing already. This costed me 8.9 or 9.9 pounds which is kind of a medium kind of price for drugstore makeup brands. I curled my eyelashes with my cheap plastic ...

Review of Max Factor Masterpiece Max Mascara

After trying Max Factors first Masterpiece mascara and left feeling disappointed you would have thought that the latest Masterpiece mascara would be a definite NO from me! However, after seeing the advert, and being told that this one would give me 400x the result of its first masterpiece mascara, I decided to give it a go!! Like the previous mascara, it dried up and ran out quickly. For the price and time that the mascara lasts, it does leave ...
...I did feel that the MAX was better than the first masterpiece and there was more lengthening and volume to my lashes than last time! Okay, so maybe not 400x the amount, but hey! Its an advert, there's bound to be some exageration in there somewhere eh!? I would definately advise using black for a more extreme volume, even if you have fair lashes. This is because your lashes will still look natural, due to the wonder of the wand applicator! A soft, ...

Review of Max Factor Masterpiece Max Mascara

After I seen the advert for around the 1000th time I thought I'd give it a go - my mascara was running out and it wasn't exactly great anyway so why not try this one out. [WHERE AND HOW MUCH] I bought it from boots for £9.99 which is a few pound over what I like to pay for mascara but it isn't too bad. See Boots.com It's available in black brown and blue in a 7.2ml tube. [THE CASING] It comes in a 7.2ml tube in black with gold writing and details. ...
...pretty expensive. [EFFECT ON LASHES] I think the 400% volume increase is a bit exagerated although it does increase volume alot. It makes your eye lashes look fuller and they do curl slighty (my eye lashes have always been awkward to curl so you may get a different effect.) [SO WHAT'S SO SPECIAL ABOUT THE BRUSH?] Well... erm... nothing really! It's more comb-like than other mascaras so I'm guessing this is to lessen clumping which in all fairness ...

Review of Max Factor Masterpiece Max Mascara

...your hair. However the name MAX promises to me lashes that I can see when I look up. This is certainly not the case on application. The ifx technology seems to mean a slightly bendy plastic brush with clearly defined bristles. Whilst I imagine this is intended to separate lashes it does not give any sort of lash building or lengthening effect. The overall impression is of rather wimpy lashes and repeated coats do lead to clumping as with any other ...

Review of Max Factor Masterpiece Max Mascara

This is possibly the best mascara I have ever used, and believe me I've used a few. Around £8 (depending on shop and area) this is really good value for money - one of these mascaras will probably last me for around 2 months, and I use a lot. The brush is comfortable to hold and works wonders with my eyelashes, separating them all as it applies the mascara. It's not too gloopy and it's not too dry and there always seems to be just enough mascara ...
...really defines eyelashes and is also easy to remove which is always a bonus. It does not crack halfway through the day and does not flake either. It also creates a beautiful curl without me having to curl my eyelashes previously. Overall good value for money, good texture, easy to remove and lasts for ages! ...
