Max Facor 2000 Calorie Mascara

I am still on the hunt to find the perfect mascara max factor do a great range of make up and mascaras and this product was no exception.

I always get the blackest black I can find to make my lashes stand out whether its during the day or night. What's great about this mascara is that its colour,and consistency is nice and rich but doesn't go on clumpy.

It definitely lengthened my lashes and gave them some extra volume, the brush was your run of the mill straighter mascara wand. Nothing too fancy.

It did last all day but I always find with max factor they do tend to cause smudging on the underneath of my eye.Also their mascaras do seem to dry out on my quickly -either that or I just love them so much that I over use :)

Tips: Curl your lashes before hand to add extra curl and volume to your desired make up look. It's definitely worth applying 2-3 coats of this mascara to get a more dramatic night time look. Always chuck away your mascaras after 3 months to avoid chance of infection or contamination.

What a great find!

I found this in the UK and hadn't considered using Max factor mascara for years and years. It was my first mascara in block form with a brush and you had to spit on it and apply for fab results. This one is just perfect, better than I have found for ages and I am a fan all over again! It doesn't clump or stick and reaching those little outer lashes gives the the best look ever! I am just so pleased to have found it. Oldest Max Factor fan - since the mid 1960s, Beatle days with mascara hidden in out blazer pockets at school. Go and try it, you most likely won't be disappointed.

Tips: The second coat brings the best results.

Max Factor 2000 Calorie Mascara

Decided to go back to when I first started wearing makeup and when we were all using Max Factor - it was all the rage. After shopping around I purchased this mascara in black and have been really pleased with the results and been using it daily. It is easy to apply and doesn't go clumpy like some mascaras tend to, giving the eye a natural yet glamorous look which I am pleased with. It stays on well during the day and Is easy to remove at night.

Good one Max Factor !

Tips: Wash the mascara brush frequently as it makes applying it much easier.

So dissointed

Bought this as a cheap alternative, total waste of money I found that it makes my lashes stick together, not straight away but as it dries up giving them a clumpy look. It also takes FOREVER to dry which is so annoying considering I have super long lashes so if I sneeze etc then the mascara rubs off on my eyelids! It's really hard to put on without getting it everywhere so I wouldn't buy this one again

Tips: Would recommend paying an extra $10 and buying one of the false lash effect mascara so instead!!

2000 calorie mascara

Farmers recently had a 'two for the price of one Max Factor' deal. I have been wanting to try this product for a while, so jumped onto this promotion and got two mascaras. This one and the Velvet one. I got this in black and it comes in a standard tube with a large brush. Coats my lashes well, and doesn't flake. The formula can seem a bit gluggy, but a few wipes of the brush onto the neck of the tube soon fixes that. Not a noticeable scent, and doesn't irritate my eyes, this mascara also comes off easily at the end of the day. I would repurchase.

A staple in my kit.

I've used this mascara on and off for years. I even remember my mum using it! I've been asked several times if I'm wearing eyelash extensions when I'm wearing this mascara. It has great pigmentation, doesn't flake and gives great curl and volume. I find that this mascara actually works better when it isn't so fresh-seems to work more effectively when it has dried out a little. I will be continuing to use this for years to come.

Tips: Apply several coats to get awesome, dramatic lashes.

I remember this mascara from my mum too, I was always sneaking it from the bathroom and using it! Great to hear your good review on it, I'm always on the lookout for the next great mascara so will give this one a try too. (again!)

2000 Calorie?

I purchased this mascara when I couldn't find the usual max factor mascara was sold out.. I thought this one all sounded great but in reality I was quite let down, I found that it would smudge and I defiantly didn't notice 300% more volume.. It is fine for day wear but gives nothing special to the lashes, I also found that it clumped up quite a bit. I would not recommend which is a shame because I have been so impressed with other max factor mascaras

Great mascara

This is awesome! Great coverage, full looking lashes - doesn't flake. The only problem is that it isn't waterproof... I think they have a waterproof version though so I must try that! ;-)

2000 calorie mascara

Amazing lashes? Yes please!! I'm a big sucker for mascaras, so I am constantly trying out new ones. I came across this one when the maybelline one I was using must of had a faulty batch, the brushes had no bristles :/

So with much hesitation I was referred the product by the lovely girl at the farmers counter. I am so picky with my mascara that when I first tried it I was very quick to put the brush back in the bottle and think "fml" stick with what you know! But I soldiered on anyway!

My lashes are long and there are alot, but they are also thin, so I definatly need a thickening mascara. The calorie mascara kept my lashes sparse, so multiple coats was crucial. I probably put on 8 coats on the top before I was satisfied.

Although it finally made my lashes desirable, I would not purchase this product again. It dried out super fast and then coming to the lower lash line it would burn and sting and make my eyes water! I never used this product on the lower ones in the end.

If you have crazy thick lashes, I think this product would be perfect for your, otherwise stear clear.
