Max Factor

I bought this Max Factor mascara because my favorite False Lash was out of stock. What a mistake. I wore it 3 times now and my eyes are irritated and burning. Besides that the mascara smudges and is flaking and the brush is totally worthless (very big and stiff, it hurt and is way too big). How can a company like Max Factor develop such a bad product...

For reference, I have short, sparse and very straight lashes that don't hold a curl well. I like length, separation and definition, but the ability to hold a curl well is the most important thing I look for in a mascara.

This one does hold a curl quite well on me. It also separates nicely and adds a little length, which is why I keep buying this and other Max Factor waterproof formulas every now and then. I really should stop doing that, though, because both this and the MF Masterpiece WP, which used to be my favourite mascara for years and years, eventually break down and start to smudge quite badly on me. I have oily eyelids, the oil starts to dissolve the mascara towards the afternoon and it stings my eyes a little, too. It's such a pity, because otherwise I enjoy this one, but it just doesn't hold up on me.

This mascara was ok. The formula is a little flakey after a long day, and I don't love the wand because it's so HARD. But it was ok.

My go-to mascara! So far the only mascara that has ever lasted all day on me, makes my lashes look long and separated in a natural way. Doesn't have any fall out what so ever.

Good for length and definition. Does not smudge or flake. But the volume is totally missing. Average mascara.
