Maybelline The Falsies Lash Lift Mascara Reviews

I was lucky to be able to review this as part of the trial team, and I must say this didn't blow my socks off.

My first impressions were that the packaging is nice, a classic of Maybelline and the design of the brush is definitely one of my favourites—prior to this test I had been using the Revlon Ultra Volume Mascara (pink lid).

When first opening, I noticed the formula is a lot thicker than my normal 'go-to' mascara. I found that it was easy to apply the first coat, however, the second coat can go clumpy quickly. I prefer a second coat, however, it may not be necessary considering the formula is quite thick.

Wear test: the mascara wore well throughout the day and I didn't notice any flaking or loss of volume, I did notice that it was heavier on the lashes.

Overall, it was a nice mascara, however, it didn't blow my socks off, maybe with a bit more use, I'll like it ;)

For those who know me, Maybelline is my favourite drugstore brand and my fave-of-all-time brand for mascaras. In saying that, I had considerably high expectations for this mascara... which was, sadly, not met.

Firstly, the packaging is reflective - not to the point it can act as an emergency mirror, but think more of circus/distorted mirrors. It's quite cylinder and the size reminds me of Too Faced's Better Than Sex mascara. The wand also reminds me a little of BTS, but just a bit smaller.

In terms of its effects, I do believe it does thicken and lengthen my lashes without clumping, but the "falsies lift" and "dramatic volume" are where this falls flat. I was disappointed, even after layering multiple coats, it wasn't giving me the volume it so enthusiastically boasts about. The "lifting" also isn't something to praise as I feel like, throughout the day, my lashes don't hold - they don't necessarily droop, but they definitely aren't as high as when the day first started. Compared to other mascaras, that do actually prove their claims of holding the 'lift' the entire day.

To put another damper on things, at the end of a work day, I found a smidge of darkness under my eyes and flaking, which isn't enough to be noticeable to the naked eye, but is obviously not something you'd want if you're looking to go to a special event with full glam on.

On the plus side, it was super easy to remove especially after double-cleansing and I appreciate the fact it didn't leave me with panda eyes unlike other mascaras where you need to rub your face raw to remove all the remnants.

All in all, would I purchase myself? No. There are absolutely far better mascaras on Maybelline's shelf that easily surpass this in terms of volume and lift. However, I will continue to use this as a backup mascara if I do need a quick boost of volume and length.

Overall I'm pretty impressed with this mascara! The brush is full and fluffy, which is my preference for a mascara brush. It really does lift your lashes up and elongate them. It gave me a bit of volume, but not as much as other mascaras I've tried. If long/lifted lashes are your main goal when purchasing a mascara, this may be a good product to try. For me this is a mascara that I would be more likely to apply for work, not for a night out. Applying more than one layer of this mascara didn't seem to result in any major change.

The mascara formula isn't too wet or dry and it didn't apply clumpy. It didn't flake or smear even when wearing it for over 12 hours. It worked well to separate my lashes as I applied. It is worth noting that the mascara was easy enough to remove with my standard micellar water makeup remover.

The price of this mascara is definitely my favourite feature! I've seen it selling for well under $20. If you're looking for a mascara that doesn't break the bank and can lift/elongate your lashes, this could be what you've been searching for!

The packaging is cute silver and purple I do not mind the Wand- the Head is tapered in the middle

I found the formula quite wet, although I often find alot of mascaras start off and thicken within a couple of uses. I have not found that with this mascara yet.

now does it do what it claims? I certainly felt like it "lifted" and lengthened my lashes, however I feel volume was lacking and it did clump alittle after 3 or so coats

It does say that you can apply multiple coats but not to let the layers dry in between.

I felt that it did flake on me, and wearing glasses this is not a good look, I also have slightly sensitive eyes and I do not know if it was the fibres in this but I did find my eyes were a little irritated after a while of wearing this, possibly this was related to the flaking.

for this reason alone I would not buy myself or recommend to friends, not when there are so many good drugstore masacras around that would do the same or better job

All in all I loved the lifting and lengthening effect of this mascara but the claims that it does not flake I do not feel are correct (at least not for me) and I did not find it gave me a lot more volume

I really liked this mascara! It did what it said it would - great length and volume. It didn’t flake off or get everywhere during the day and was still easy to remove at the end of the day. I would purchase again

I am forever on the hunt for the perfect mascara so when the opportunity came up to try the new Maybelline mascara I was stoked! The packaging is simple with a silver tube, the wand is hour glass shaped with densely packed bristles. Upon using this I found I really had to give the brush a good wiggle to get into my lashes otherwise the product ended up coating just the ends. I found using 3 coats was the way to really get the full thick lash lift look that I wanted. My lashes looked long, full and if I'm honest a little clumpy. This mascara wore well throughout the day on my top lashes but I found my bottom lashes flaked off onto my cheeks by about lunch time which was annoying- a few sprays of setting spray the next day solved this issue.

I usually use The colossal range as i had a few friends raving about how good it was. As much as i loved the colossal i have traded it up and throwen it away as i definately prefer this one. Application was smooth and nice and easy. Clumping was minimal and the lift this gives without needing to curl my lashes beforehand was amazing. I love that this didnt smudge or transfer as i think this is my biggest fear while wearing mascara. All round love this mascara.

This mascara is really nice! It’s one of those mascaras that are super decent and I would definitely repurchase :) The tube is a lightweight plastic and the brush is a similar shape and size to Better Than Sex by Too Faced, but a bit softer. The application is really smooth and not clumpy. It feels like it gently brushes your lashes, and one coat gives a good coverage. I like to do two coats for extra length and thickness. I wouldn’t say it looks like you’ve had a lash lift, but it does lift/curl your lashes more than most mascaras to make your eyes look more open, and it holds it place all day. It isn’t very clumpy either, it does a pretty good job of keeping your lashes separated. The formula is more thin and wet than some other mascaras, which helps it not clump. If you wear it all day it does transfer a little onto your skin but that’s fine and easily fixable. It doesn’t flake off through the day. If you get it on your skin during application, it is super easy to get off with a cotton bud, even if you’re wearing foundation. It won’t take off and ruin your foundation. This mascara is kind of a ‘your lashes but better’ appearance. It doesn’t exaggerate the length or thickness, it has a good ratio between the two.

The Falsies Lash Lift mascara is by far one of the best that I've tried in the market. The claims were true and have tested this mascara for a whole week! Having straight lashes, this mascara lifted my lashes for the whole day without problems! It did not flake even though it didn't claim to be waterproof. With one coat, I was able to get the volume and the length that I wanted. Formula wise, it is not too wet nor too dry which makes it easy to coat each and every lash without a mess!

I usually rotate between two different brands of mascara, Maybelline has not been one of them... until now.

The packaging itself is nice and standard, it’s a midrange mascara and you know what you are going to get.

The brush is curved, with longer bristles on the end. The product doesn’t really have a smell, and hasn’t caused any sort of eye irritation to my sometimes sensitive eyes.

What has really impressed me about this mascara is that it adds so much length. The packaging talks about using fibres in the formula that attach and help lengthen lashes. This is definitely true! There is also zero fall out through the day which I have loved. One small thing is that I wish it gave a little more volume to my lashes. But overall I have been quite impressed by this mascara, and will probably be a new staple in my routine.
