Max Factor Masterpiece Mascara > Reviews

Advantages: natural look, doesnt clump, long lasting
Disadvantages: not the cheapest on the market

I've been using Max Factor mascaras for about two years ago, and have always loved them - although I must admit to hopping between different brands from time to time, I've always come back to Max Factor. I read lots of reviews about their masterpiece mascara, all good, and when I finally got round to trying it a few months ago, I have to say, it didn't disapoint! ~The brush~ The first thing you will notice about this product, is the brush has ...

Advantages: Volume and definition with no clumps
Disadvantages: You get considerably less in the tube than most mascaras

Max Factor Masterpiece is the original volume and definition mascara, from which Max Factor have now devised a whole range of Masterpiece products. You can buy it from most drugstores and health and beauty retailers, so it's always easy to get hold of. It comes in black, brown-black, or blue, and costs £8.99. It has a unique 'IFX' brush, which is designed to define and separate the lashes, creating a striking, professional effect. The brush is ... Read review

Advantages: Long eyelashes- frames your eyes without clumping!
Disadvantages: None for me, but not waterproof may be a disadvantage to some people.

...Geisha, and according to the Max factor advert out at the time this mascara was used to create the dramatic eye make up of the actresses. Whether that's true or not this mascara is very effective and I'm glad I bought it! ~~~New brush technology~~~ This mascara has a special brush, which is the first of it's kind on the market. It's sort of rubbery and is more flexible than the average mascara wand-designed to reach even the smallest of lashes ... Read review

Advantages: great lashes in an instant!!
Disadvantages: panda eyes if caught in the rain!!

...it turns out it's a max factor masterpiece!!! hmmm!! ***LOOKS*** Well as i said above, it is eye catching, although not in an obvious way!! It's a classy looking mascara, with a stylish sleek design. Infact it is different to many gold coloured mascaras out there, being that the mascara is coated in a clear "tube", making slightly edgey yet still classic looking. ***THE WAND/BRUSH*** The brush is not your usual "fluffy" culprit....the ...

Advantages: Easy to use, doesn't clump, subtle colour
Disadvantages: bit pricey, colour not as strong as i'd have liked

I have recently seen the advert on TV for Maxfactor's newest Masterpiece mascara, 'Beyond Length'. It's a two step mascara which firstly claims to visibly lengthen lashes by upto 70% and then add a hint of suble colour. The mascara is split into two ends with normal mascara one end and the colour in the other. Before deciding whether to purchase this i looked on their website for more details. ~~The website~~ Maxfactor's website tells you that ... Read review

Advantages: Lengthens lashes, not too expensive, easy to use
Disadvantages: The smell

...enough to show that. The max factor mascara made my lashes curl right back on themselves though and they looked longer aswell. I didn't need a second coat but I tried anyway and it went on as smoothly as the first making my lashes look longer and thicker again, but without looking like I had applied false lashes. The mascara also dried quickly so great if you're in a bit of a rush. And it stayed put, so at least now I'm a bit less worried about ... Read review

Advantages: Beautifully defined lashes
Disadvantages: The advertising is much exagerrated

Maxfactor Masterpiece is a part of "The Masterpiece Collection", which consists of Masterpiece Definition, Masterpiece Max, and Beyond Length Colour. The one I own and am reviewing on, is Masterpiece Definition. PRICE: - I bought mine for £11.99, when it just came out, but now it's availabe for £7.99 aswell, just depends where you search for it. Try Superdrug or Ebay for a cheaper option. PACKAGING: - The bottle is dull gold, with brighter ... Read review

Advantages: Thickens & lengthens lashes in one coat, doesns't clump
Disadvantages: Doesn't last as long as others...maybe I apply too much though!

♥♥ Max Factor Masterpiece Mascara ♥♥ Now, I'm sure pretty much everyone has seen the advert for this Mascara, it's the one with the girl from Memoirs from a Geisha on it, showing the girl with those long, thick black eye lashes, and the advert shows a slender gold tube with a yellow brush. You look at the advert and you think, nah, my eyelashes will never look like that, why bother? That's exactly what I thought anyway, ... Read review

Advantages: Looks Good all day
Disadvantages: Can Clump

...expensive that previous offerings from Max Factor. It is in a dull gold coloured plastic packaging with Gold writing along the Mascara pot. Its is approximately 4 inches long and holds 4.5 ml. When I got home I decided to try the Mascara out straight away. Prior to buying this I had not seen the "Memoirs of a Geisha" Advertisements for this so was quite surprised to find that the mascara was made up if fine plastic bristles rather than the brush ...

Advantages: Does not leave you panda eyed after a few hours, striking colour, no clumps
Disadvantages: Not completely waterproof

I saw the adverts for this mascara and could not quite believe my eyelashes would really look as good as the model but decided to give the go anyway. Maxfactor always sells fantastic makeup at good prices, I actually prefer them to benefit and they are much cheaper. I was quite sceptical about this mascara because the model on the TV literally looked as if she had fake eyelashes on so I decided to go on e-bay and see if I could get this any cheaper ...

Advantages: Great,long,lucious lashes
Disadvantages: Some may think the price is too much

...'Memoirs of a Geisha' movie,as Max Factor boasted that they had done the make-up for the film. True,the advert for the film and the mascara looked pretty unbelievable as the definition on the Geishas lashes was incredible,but to be honest looked too good to be true. Never the less,I decided to buy some as my usual mascara by Benefit,set me back about fourteen pounds a time and I thought i'd give it a go,as i was nearly running out. So,I went ... Read review

Advantages: Lifts and defines lashes without clogging
Disadvantages: Dries up quite quickly

...and frame your eyes. Max Factor do not market this product on the formulation of the actual mascara. It is available in 3 colours: Rich Black, Black Brown and Deep Blue and supplied in 4.5ml. What it claims:- "Smoothly covers your lashes even the tiny ones - corner to corner, base to tip. The secret is in the brush." (As quoted from www.maxfactor.co.uk.) What it actually does:- This is a great mascara and almost should be made by Ronseal ... Read review
