I've only used this mascara once but I wasn't too happy with the results.. I find it doesn't separate as well as other mascaras, although it really does create the 'fluttery lash' effect. Funnily enough that's not what I go for in a mascara :p I really had to apply a bunch of coats to get it to show up (I do not like the natural look, if you do then this mascara is most likely perfect for you). I'll use it a few more times to see if I can get different/better results with it, and otherwise my mom can have it, lol.

I bought this in the colour brown-black and it looks natural on my black lashes. When you take the wand out of the tube, not a lot of product accumulates and the wand looks very clean to the point where I thought I had bought an empty mascara tube.

If you put on a light coat, it makes you look like you're awearing a light feathery eyelash set. Not much volume nor intensity but your eyelashes look longer and rather fluttery (I actually thought there was no product as I'm not accustomed to natural-looking mascara).

However, you can build on this mascara and it will instantly give you the full false lash look. More drama, volume and length. What's not to love? Actually, I find that it clumps a little bit when you wear several coats but you can always use an eyelash comb to comb away tiny globs. Moreover, it can weigh your lashes down by a wee bit.

Oh my lord this mascara! What can I say, I love it! My lashes aren't that long-normal I'd say. But this amazing product makes them look exactly like fake.They maximize the volume and the length of my lashes and make my eyes look much more appealing than any other mascara does. I used Maybelline mascaras for a long time but found that they were disappointing after a month or so. I truly recommend this mascara,it keeps its promises and makes your lashes look rich and beautiful. For a week or two you'll notice some clumps on your lashes (fixable though),but soon it takes its toll. Totally worth the money. Go for it.

This smudges quite a lot, dries out very quickly, flakes.... and on my lashes... the effect is neither eye opening. Maybe this is because I already have quite a few lashes so I do not need them to be volumised for a "false lash effect", but netherless I still do not like this mascara.. at all. The brush also gets mascara all over my lids which is annoying.

Will not repurchase.. i regret buying this at all actually

I used to love this mascara but they must have changed the formula or something. It smudges like crazy and I never had this kind of problem with any other mascaras. My lashes are sparse and not very long, this mascara does give them volume but doesn't hold the curl. The wand is really big which can be a little problematic as you can smudge mascara on your lid pretty fast. Will not buy again.

I got this at priceline for about $10, it was in a bargain bin! Have started using it recently and my first thoughts were meh! I didnt really think it did much, but its been a few weeks and I think its dried out a bit. ITs pretty good and really does make my lashes look alot longer and thicker and it holds the curl. THe only think I dont like about this is the fat brush! why does it have to be so fat? Thats my only gripe but other that a pretty good mascara. Wouldn't buy again as i always love buying and trying new mascaras!

Love love LOVE this mascara!! Makes my lashes so long and clump free with heaps of volume! People are always asking me if I'm wearing false eyelashes! One time a lady in boots was promoting a No.7 mascara and she tried selling it to me then looked at my eyelashes which were 10 times longer then hers and was asking me which mascara I use because she wanted to go and get it! Definitely recommend this mascara!

One of the best mascaras, and I've used a lot of them. It adds A LOT of volume (which is why I love this mascara) and makes the lashes very long without creating clumps.

The package of this mascara is like the one of Maybelline when I first saw it. The effect of it is that it can help my lashes look long and curl. What surprises me most is my lashes will not fall down for a whole day. It's waterproof which I like it as well. For the good effect and low price, I will definitely repurchase it.

When I saw this mascara I just needed to get it! The name says "false lash natural look" and that was exactly what I was looking for.
And for me this mascara works amazing!! And I am really critical about mascarasand have tried a lot.. But like I said, it works so great. Doesn't clump, gived a lot of volume and lenght, but is still kinda everyday looking not too much, if you know what I mean.

Overall an fantastic mascara! The only bad thing is the big brush. It's not good for small bottom lashes and corners

This was the last drugstore mascara that I bought. I was quite impressed with it - it gives a little bit of lift and a little length, with no clumping and minimal flaking or smudging through the day. The definition is great and it definitely doesn't give the dreaded spider legs. Unfortunately, it also gives next to no volume. That said, I was intending to re-purchase until I bought my first high-end mascara on a whim (the Illamasqua mascara) and found the difference to be night and day. It really highlighted how poor the Max Factor one performed and how sad the effect was...and the Illamasqua cost just £4 more. I've since found similar results from brands like Clinique & MAC in a very similar price bracket. My opinion is that this mascara is total false economy - spend a tiny bit more and get a WAY better product.

Personally i was really excited to try this mascara, high ratings are misleading as well as the " false lash effect", this mascara is good if you are looking for a natural look, didnt work well for me, i wont buy it again.

I normally love Max Factor mascara, but found this one quite lifeless. I am lucky enough to have naturally quite long lashes, and found that this mascara failed to bulk them out. However, still better than most other brands,

I fail to see the famous "false lash effect". I barely see any volume or length. I guess it's an ok mascara if you apply 2 or 3 layers, but the "false lash" claims are very misleading.

I tried this because I had a giftcard for a drugstore, so I just picked this up to try out something new. And I must say, I really like this!
It doesn't clump or smudge on me, but gives my lashes some length and volume - the perfect amount for my lashes, since they're both short and thin. It's great for everyday, and is very light on the lashes. I can definitely build this up for a night out, and even though it's not the waterproof version it lasts all day - and probably all night too.

I don't know why I repurchased it for the second (third?) time. I haven't bought a lot of mascaras and this one seemed promissing. Definetly way better than 2000 calorie!

I love this product! A lot of people are comparing this to the CG Lashblast...this product has been out for a couple of years now, way before Lashblast! I started to use it when it first came out. I used it for a while, went around and tested other brands and came back to this! I have a monolid and downward lashes. So far, this is the only one that I finds that works well with my lashes
Pros:
- adds length
- holds curl
- lasts for a long time
Cons:
- a bit of clumping
- faint smudging on bottom corner of eyes. However, it's not as bad compared to others I've tried. I use the waterproof one which helps!

Been using it for so long now, no matter what, I always return back.

I really like the effect this mascara gives to my lashes. Long, black, curled and volumized.

Pros:
-Wears for many hours (definitely 14) looking fresh and holding curl, no smudging or flaking, even on lower lashes.
-great effect - one coat for beautiful, long and elegant lashes, two coats for a dramatic and sexy look.
- I got this in a gold tube which is actually quite pretty compared to many drugstore mascaras.
-if you make a mess on the lid, it is easily removed with a cotton bud after dried up.

Cons:
-the tip is very blunt cut and flat, which i don't favor but since my lashes are not so short and my eyes not to small, it's not so bad - but beware if you like conical type wands.
-the application can be quite messy if you are a "wiggler" like me - because the long plastic "combs" can touch your lid.
-i need to clean up the wand a little to take excess off.. which is annoying and time consuming.

i love the overall look, result and quality, especially for a drugstore mascara. would definitely repurchase and recommend
