I can't believe this mascara doesn't have higher reviews! I get complimented on my eyelashes all the time since I started using Falsies Flared. It does exactly what the name implies. My eyelashes literally curl right up and flare out. The only thing I caution is to not use more than two coats. It tends to get spidery with over-application. Def my HG mascara!

The falsies flared builds volume very quickly. It does seem to lengthen very slightly, but for me, there's much more emphasis on volume. With continuous strokes of the brush, the volume builds very quickly. You really only need a few sweeps and you'll be done - otherwise you'll risk your lashes clumping together. It is definitely a clumpy mascara.
My lashes did dry pretty quickly and it's very difficult to comb through your lashes with a lash comb, unless the mascara is still wet. But I did like the end result. I really did get a decent amount of volume with slight curl and it looked very pretty.
Lastly, this mascara ended up flaking on me if I have used a lash comb and without. The small flakes that fell under my eyes without notice then smudged. I did not notice until I wash washing my hands in the mall bathroom and looked in the mirror I was like wtf since my mu was applied before leaving to go to the mall. So for me this starting flaking rather quickly. I tried it a few more times and the same thing happend so I gave up due to flaking and making this darker under my eyes. I also had slight ichy eyes the few times I tried this I think from the flaking irritating my eyes and contacts,I'm guessing.
I overall loved the way this mascara made my lashes look but I will not re-purchase due to all the flaking issues. I just can't try it again and do that to myself, I won't.

I love this mascara! It is now my go-to everyday mascara. Of course it isn't going to give you the look of false lashes (commercials always lie) but it is very dramatic. It lengthens and thickens very well. I really love the curve of the brush too. I will be repurchasing again.

I actually had wanted to try this for a while, and at first bought the falsies black drama volume kind. I was really excited to try the falsies flared and it really works! I've been asked while wearing them if my lashes were fake! However, a whole bunch of product comes out on the applicator, therefore clumps. This mascara works just fine for me, because I have normal length thick lashes, but I would like looong ones, so this gives a slight boost when it comes to keeping the curl.

I wanted to try this cause I really liked original falsies, unfortunately I dont have much of a review since after the 3rd use it dried out ridiculously and was useless

Looking for mascara that makes you look like you have false eyelashes? DEFINATELY NOT THIS ONE!
I dislike this so much for the following reasons:
the bristles are so soft that mascara won't even get enough on your lashes and the bristles bend and stay bent :(
I ran out after a week or two or maybe just because products won't come out.
i first tried the falsies volume it was much better but falsies flared is terrible terrible terrible.
I guess I couldn't expect much from very cheap mascara :(

the only reason I rated this somewhat good was because this is so nice when it goes under rimmel London lash accelerator, it's so nice with rimmel mascara over it but it is absolutely terrible by it self. don't even bother puttin it on cos it won't show up anyways

Ooooooh gurl @ this mascara. One coat made my eyelashes look spidery, tons of fallout after 2 hours of wearing, the smell is nauseating, it's really clumpy, and doesn't make my eyelashes look pretty at all, just crappy.

Fall out city! I wore this mascara out to dinner and by the time I got home, I had little black flecks all over my face. I didn't notice a difference with curl, nor did I feel like I got more volume than my regular mascara. Not impressed at all. I think I'll go back to my standby, The Colossal Volume Express.

I had mixed messages with this FLARED FALSIEs Mascara.

When I first opened it up to use it, the brush had SOOO MUCH PRODUCT on it. and the bristles are really really fluffy.
First few times i put it on it was clumpy and too thick.

I don't know if all of the mascaras open up that clumpy, but mine did.

I was really disappointed, but I continued to use it because I paid for it.
If you brush off excess product, and swipe the brush across your eyelashes while rotating the brush it comes on less clumpy.

Seems like a lot of work, but I paid for this so I'm going to keep using it til it's empty.

Once again, I'm surprised at all the negative reviews. This mascara is amazing. It makes them so full and dense and it definitely looks like I'm wearing fake eyelashes. I don't know if people are just using it wrong or what, but this stuff is amazing

I'm a little shocked this got such low stars. I LOVE this mascara, even more than the original Falsies. I wonder if people are using it wrong, because I did the first time, until I examined the brush. I'm not sure if they put this on the back of the package, but i'll share anyways. If you look at the brush, it's not round. It's actually flat on both sides. The top of the brush has a hump and the bottom is curved inward. To use it correctly, all you have to do is put the mascara on with the FLAT SIDE of the brush and it incredible how much of a difference it makes. I was literally saying 'Wow' at what it did and that takes a lot for me to be wowed by a product. You take the inward curved part and wiggle it down into the root of the eyelashes, then when you pull the brush up, you make sure the FLAT SIDE is the part that is on your lashes. Before I let my lashes get dry, I apply a couple more coats and it was amazing. I uploaded a picture, too. The only downside is that the mascara flakes a little bit, but that's something I can deal with. I will most definitely be purchasing this again. :)

This stuff is great! My first time wearing it this little girl asked me if my eyelashes were fake! It's great on my dull blonde eyelashes and it makes them look so long! I kind of like the colossal mascara better but my best friend and I are in love with this stuff! Beware though it's really thick on your lashes and kind of hard to remove! And the waterproof, just don't make the mistake of getting that one it was a disaster for me!

Very good mascara that does the job. It's a dry formula, and it flaked a bit, but it didn't clump my lashes at all and I got good length and volume and no smudges. Cute and standard packaging, great value for money.

This was my first Falsies mascara product and I must say... I will never buy it again. It clumped my eyelashes, and did nothing but make my eyelashes darker. Sooo I gave the mascara to my friend.. (I know what a bad friend) but she liked and used Falsies. When I gave her the mascara she then told me the brush was defectant!!! No wonder it didnt work!!! NEVER AGAIN WILL I BUY THIS PRODUCT!

I was a little skeptical to try this mascara since i hated the regular falsies mascara but I needed a cheaper mascara. I picked this up at target a little less than a week ago and I am impressed with it. The wand is similiar to that of the colossal mascara but it is curved which makes it nice for lengthing and volumizing lashes. It doesnt make my lashes look false but it does give them nice length and volume with little to no flaking.

My favorite part about this mascara is I have it in waterproof and it comes off so easily compared to other waterproof mascaras so that makes me happy. I will buy it again!

I didn't like this the first couple times I used it, it seemed to do nothing to my lashes. It looked like I hadn't put anything on so I had to layer another mascara over it. However, I did try it again a few days later and it worked like a real mascara! It volumized and lengthened like I expected. It is not the best I have used but I will enjoy using it while I have it!

I don't see many flakes, well maybe a few, but my main issue is that it clumps (even my fiance pointed out my lashes were clumped) and leaves me with the raccoon ring on my lids. I'm oily but use a primer and still get black rings. I also find this difficult to remove with my regular facial cleanser gel. Ugh, no thank you Maybelline!

I hate this mascara. My friends wear the regular Falsies and their lashes are amazing, so I thought Flared would be even better. It sucks. The formula is dry and make my lashes tilt down instead of lifting them up. I got a little bit of volume and no length. It also had a weird chemical smell that the regular Falsies doesn't have. I will most definitely not repurchase
