Terrible mascara. After drying, the eyelashes become stiff like needles, it's difficult to remove. The application is awful, the brush is clearly not suitable here, as it has a lot of product at the base and no product at the tips.
The mascara disappointed((( it smudges the eyelids a lot, and the application is uneven. It gives a messy makeup effect after applying. I tried using a brush from another mascara, which is more convenient for application, but it still doesn't apply well. And, in my opinion, the mascara is not very waterproof. I won't be buying it again.
This mascara is the worst I have ever had. Nightmare, horrible brush, doesn't lengthen, doesn't add volume. Yes, it is waterproof. I do not recommend it.
For me, this mascara is the best in this price category: it is long-lasting, applies beautifully, and adds length and volume. But what I truly appreciate about it is that it doesn't dry out after a month, it will last much longer until it runs out. I bought it as a gift for my mom, she says it flakes, but it doesn't for me. It's a bit hard to remove, but the Clinique product works well with it, I also bought it here.
Strange waterproofing of this mascara. If you wet it with water, nothing really smudges. But after a few hours in the heat, it leaves imprints on the upper eyelid, and if you also wear a mask, the traces on the eyelid will be even darker. The mascara itself is not great for my lashes, but I already understood that from the reviews. I bought it solely for its waterproof properties, but unfortunately, it did not live up to expectations.
The mascara is really waterproof, it only comes off with special micellar water. I have been using it for 3 years already. Once I forgot to remove it before showering, I washed my face with soap 3 times, and my lashes not only didn't come off, but they didn't even get smudged))) The mascara just has to be fresh, if it starts to clump, you need to replace it, it lasts for 6 months.
The mascara doesn't smudge and that's its only advantage. The brush is terrible, it clumps everything. The lashes are thin and unremarkable. It's torture, not mascara. It washes off with dual-phase eye makeup remover.
I'll start by saying that I have been a fan of Max Factor for over 20 years. I needed a waterproof mascara and after reading all the reviews on waterproof options, I decided to go with this one. It is indeed waterproof. It comes off easily with my regular Biokon makeup remover, just like any other makeup. However, now I have learned what spider lashes are and what it means to have a mascara without any effects. I tried mixing it with Max Factor Volume Infusion Mascara - it helped a bit to salvage the situation, but not much. I will try applying Volume Infusion first and then this one. So far, I haven't found anything better than Max Factor Clump Defy, but it's been discontinued for a while now and the recent reviews are concerning.
In any case, I am disappointed with the trend of Max Factor mascaras. There used to be no negative reviews, but now they are everywhere, including with this brand, and I understand why. If you have normal lashes that don't need any effects but require waterproofness, it will work for you.
I will defend this mascara. I have been using it for a whole 5 months and I can say that among the waterproof ones, it is the best. Not in terms of longevity, they all last a long time, but in terms of quality. Maybelline Lash Sensational and Vivienne Sabo Cabaret didn't impress me, they only looked nice on the third month, and even then, not for long. Before that, they were watery, like water, and then they clump on the brush and on the lashes, it's impossible to work with them like that. Max Factor was also very watery at first and didn't coat the tips very well. But after a month of use, the mascara thickened and became pigmented. The brush is big, but if you learn how to use it, it will give you very neat, fluffy lashes. It doesn't stick them together. I only apply a second coat to the tips, and then everything is perfect. This mascara performed excellently until the very last breaths. It is already finished, but I won't throw it away, maybe I'll need it in the summer, I'll use a little bit. The previous ones were already thrown in the trash unfinished in March. It doesn't weigh down the lashes, it removes easily with a two-phase waterproof makeup remover. I am very happy that I made the right choice this time.
Terrible mascara. It doesn't lengthen lashes, it clumps. It's a complete disappointment and a waste of money.
I have never had a worse mascara, the only thing is that it won't smudge in rain or snow, but it's impossible to apply smoothly, it clumps the eyelashes together, and removing it is a nightmare. Even their two-phase makeup remover requires a lot of effort and pulling out a bunch of eyelashes. DO NOT BUY it for the price, there are a billion times better options.
I ordered this as a gift for my mom. However, the mascara came without the transparent strip, which suggests that it may have already been opened. When I tried it, I found that the mascara was somewhat dry and difficult to apply on the lashes. It gave me the impression that I received a tester. Therefore, I am dissatisfied with the quality.
The mascara is very long-lasting. I got it in the shade "black-brown" and I'm satisfied with everything.
Pros:
+ The shade looks magical with brown eyes.
+ Provides good lengthening.
+ The mascara has a large volume.
+ With practice, the brush applies and combs the lashes well.
+ It is truly long-lasting, withstands both sweat and water, and can be removed with a two-phase makeup remover.
+ Looks good with two coats.
Cons:
- After a month of use, I still find it difficult to work with the large brush and weak stopper - a lot of product remains on the brush, making it easy to get messy.
- The mascara was shipped to me from Europe without any protective film, so I can only trust that it was unused before me.
The mascara is very long-lasting. It didn't smudge or leave any imprints, and it was difficult to remove from my lashes with a Loreal two-phase waterproof makeup remover. I'm deducting a star because it doesn't give the "false lash effect."
I wouldn't even give it one star. The only plus is that even when snow is blowing forcefully into your eyes, the mascara stays in place.
Now for the negatives:
1. The brush, or rather, the bristles, the size of two eyes, gathers an excessive amount of mascara. By the time you manage to apply a little bit to your eyes, your eyelids are completely covered in an even layer of black. You have to remove the excess mascara from the brush like in the 90s.
2. My already long lashes look much shorter simply because it's practically impossible to coat the tips of the lashes, and if you manage to do so, they end up curling in the opposite direction.
3. The lashes clump together. While trying to untangle them with the brush, you end up smudging the lash line, which cannot be wiped off without removing all of the makeup. As a result, it looks like your eyes were also lined with a pencil.
4. It's impossible to curl the lashes with the brush at all. Not at all.
Honestly, this is the worst mascara I have ever used in my entire life. It's just terrible.
The mascara colors just like Max Factor 2000 Calorie, the formula is exactly the same, I was worried about that. It comes off in one minute with hydrophilic oil, I have one from Avon for 80 UAH. The brush is normal, quite convenient, I can paint the corners of my eyes well with it. It's strange that some people can't do it. With two coats, it already gives a good length. It arrived fresh, by the way. Max Factor is the best ❤️ I haven't found this formula anywhere else. With Maybelline, everything clumps together on the 2-3rd coat and turns into logs. Here, you can layer it as much as you want, and you can even do it a couple of hours later, and it still looks decent. Fans of the Vivienne Sabo Cabaret effect probably won't like this mascara.
One star only for its waterproof feature. I don't see any other advantages in it.
The mascara completely failed to meet expectations. Money wasted for nothing. It doesn't lengthen anything, no matter how hard you try. It works with the waterproof part, but there will be no volume or beautiful lashes.
It handles its main task - water resistance - 100%. In winter conditions and with the mask regime, this is very important. I have straight eyelashes, and under the influence of snow or breathing (due to the mask), my lashes straighten out - this mascara keeps them in their original state. Following the advice of the girls in the reviews, I immediately purchased a waterproof makeup remover along with it, so I didn't have any special problems. I am satisfied. I ordered it here, delivery from the EU (maybe it's important). Thank you.
The mascara is good, I bought it at the seaside, it lasts a long time and doesn't smudge in water. However, it is impossible to remove it, it starts to flake off around the 4th or 5th day. I have tried various methods to remove it, but it doesn't come off. The manufacturer should immediately offer a makeup remover for it, it would be very useful.
The worst mascara in my life!!! Besides being waterproof, it has no other effects!!! It's a very liquid substance that doesn't even color the lashes very well, but immediately makes them look like wooden threads, without length or volume!!! Moreover, after a few hours, my eyes start to itch at the base of the lashes. I bought this mascara as a replacement for my favorite waterproof mascara, Christian Dior DiorShow Iconic, which I also buy here, but only the tester, as it's slightly cheaper. I will definitely not buy this mascara again! What a waste of money!!! I should have added a little more and bought what I actually like!
Regarding waterproofness, they hit the mark 100%, and it provides a small volume to the lashes, but there is definitely no "wow" effect.
Regarding the waterproofness - it is good, but in all other aspects, it is a complete disappointment. The mascara doesn't do anything, it doesn't lift, volumize, or lengthen... the lashes just stick out straight, it's awful... Money wasted.
I have been a customer of this online store for a long time, and there have been no complaints. This time, however, the mascara came without a brush... I mean, completely without a brush!!! I am attaching a photo... and another unpleasant surprise - no gifts for orders over 1000 grams... very disappointed.
I use it because other mascaras that I have tried often crumble and smudge under my eyes throughout the day, but this one doesn't have such issues. I recommend removing it with hydrophilic oil or coconut oil, it's very easy, not 15 minutes like some people wrote here.
Good mascara, doesn't wash off with water)) It's difficult to remove with Nivea waterproof makeup remover)) I've read in reviews that it's easily removed with L'Oreal makeup remover, so I'll try that) Overall, very satisfied.
Today I received the mascara, it's great! And it easily comes off with the Loreal waterproof makeup remover. Thank youuuu!!!
Great mascara! In the pool, at the beach, I even tried to deliberately wash it off with water - it doesn't come off! ;) I recommend it!
"I expected to receive that beloved mascara with blue accents on the case, but I received one with gold accents instead. I used to regularly buy it and was thrilled with it. Now, however, I don't understand it at all. The texture is excellent, and the brush seems to be the same as before, but it sits differently on the lashes. I will test it further. It leaves me with mixed impressions."
"I was shocked when I applied it for the first time. It stayed on perfectly all day, but when it came to removing the makeup, my heart almost stopped. It is horribly difficult to remove, I have to rub my eyelashes for at least 15 minutes to completely remove it. It leaves me with mixed feelings."
"I always take it with me on vacation, water, heat, sleepless nights - it's not afraid of them! Just buy a good waterproof makeup remover for the eyes and no eyelash will suffer))"
This is the only truly waterproof mascara. When it is new, it is advisable to comb the eyelashes after applying it, as there is a lot of product. I recommend it.
If I were a "Night Wolf," I would have taken the mascara out of the makeup bag and praised it. But since I'm writing from my daughter's words: the mascara is as advertised, I recommend it to everyone.
The mascara is truly waterproof - it withstands all tests with flying colors:) and it is quite easy to remove with a two-phase makeup remover. It is more suitable for fans of natural makeup, as achieving the effect of "doll-like" false eyelashes will be difficult (in my opinion, it is not necessary anyway:)) It evenly coats the lashes without clumps and applies well.
The best waterproof mascara :)
I regret buying it. Even with a special oil, the mascara can only be removed mechanically. As a result, many eyelashes fall out. The mascara effect looks natural, but you need to apply several layers to achieve volume.
My favorite mascara, I remove it with a two-phase makeup remover from Loreal. I like everything about it, maybe I'm not as picky as others, I love it and I won't change it. I read reviews about applying 5 layers and I can't imagine how people walk around with those 5 layers. I apply one layer, sometimes two, it's enough for me, I don't like to wear makeup too noticeably.
I confidently wear it in the rain, snowstorm, and heat, it won't smudge or flake. I recommend it for those who are not picky, but make sure to buy a two-phase makeup remover.
Mascara for enthusiasts. Truly waterproof, even withstands regular face cleansing products. Doesn't smudge. Doesn't cause itching or irritation. Only comes off with a waterproof makeup remover. Don't expect to wash it off with your regular face wash gel.
Cons: It's quite inconvenient to apply and takes a long time to dry. It doesn't give the effect of false eyelashes. On the contrary, the brush clumps the lashes instead of separating them. However, if you replace the manufacturer's brush with any other (more convenient) brush from another mascara, the problem will disappear.
The mascara is simply wonderful, I don't know what would happen with five layers, I stopped at two to avoid a "doll-like" effect. Waterproofness is also important for me (my eyes are sensitive - sun, wind - they immediately tear up), and I haven't found anything better than Max Factor yet. Yes, the only problem is removing it, but dual-phase products handle it just fine. Special thanks to the store, fast, high-quality service, very pleased.
I didn't doubt its waterproofness, but the consistency itself is very greasy and the brush is not convenient - it clumps and smears all over the eyelid. I have to use a brush from another mascara just to use it somehow.
First time applying mascara - it stung my eyes, but then it stopped. The mascara applies fine, but the brush is very thick, which is a bit inconvenient. It doesn't give volume to the lashes. I removed it with a two-phase waterproof makeup remover from Maybelline, as it stays on well. The only positive thing is that it is great for wet weather and swimming.
