Maybelline The Falsies Lash Lift Mascara Reviews

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!

Wow I was blown away how awesome my lashes looked after applying this mascara.It definitely lives up to all it claims,my lashes looked lifted,flake free,more volume,longer,darker and smudge free.I was so happy with how my lashes looked after just two coats of this and how the lift stayed all day.I think I might have finally found my holy grail mascara because this one ticks all the boxes for me.The mascara is very easy to wash off too with your normal face cleanser and water.I have only used the washable one so unable to comment on the waterproof one on terms of how easy it is to take off but I think next time I will purchase one of each just to compare the two,they are very affordable and available in most places including supermarkets,The Wharehouse,Farmers and online.

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.

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 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.

I have naturally short, stubborn stick straight lashes so I think this compares to all the other mascaras out there that aren't waterproof as they never really do much except add a bit of definition to outline my eye. I usually curl my eyelashes and need to use a waterproof mascara to help the curl hold. But with this mascara, the curl didn't really hold up. However compared to other non waterproof mascaras, it was probably a little bit better. I didn't find it clumping too much but would be careful not to over do it especially if you have a lot of lashes already as I'm not sure how well it would help with separating them.

Overall, I probably wouldn't purchase again as I typically stick with waterproof mascaras.

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.

This mascara claims to give a “lash lift” effect but I found the formula didn’t hold my curl very well. It has quite a wet consistency but managed to add a decent amount of volume. I didn’t notice much of a lengthening effect. I had a few clumps here and there that were easily combed out and it didn’t flake on me but smudged a bit after a few hours due to my curl dropping and therefore my eyelashes were touching the skin under my eyes (straight Asian eyelashes). The wand is an hourglass shape similar to Too Faced Better Than Sex mascara, and it did a decent job of reaching all my lashes. Removal was pretty standard with micellar water.

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!

My go to mascara has always been made by maybelline so I was excited to try this one out to compare the two. I really liked this mascara. It didn't clump at all - even when I gave it a few good layers.

I did find that by the end of the day it had worn off which is fine for me but I can imagine that it could be a little annoying for someone that wants it to stay all day.

Super easy to remove, and if I forgot to remove it (oops!) I didn't wake up with big panda eyes the next morning.

I did like this and will continue using it till it's all gone but I don't know if I would buy it again.
