The Falsies

Seems ok. The wand is oddly shaped, like taking a round brush and squishing it, so its flat in the middle. But I like it. No clumps with first use. But most mascaras end up clumping after awhile anyway. Good price and washes off easy.

This is it. This is the one you want. As someone who fosters a healthy obsession for makeup, I don't say this lightly. So what makes this particular product so spectacular? So many reasons, but I am going to limit this review to my 3 favorite ones. 1. This is the most recent obvious one, but the price point is clearly fantastic. Mascara is perhaps the most important product in my daily beauty routine, and over the years I have spent money on expensive brands like Dior and Benefit. But at upwards of $20 a bottle, I never felt like these products were paying off. This Maybelline formula is drugstore priced, but high-end quality. This means that you can afford to get a new bottle every month or two to keep your mascara look fresh without breaking the bank. The fact that this product is $6 is absolutely ridiculous- I wish I had been buying it years ago!! 2. I love the application wand. It is curved at the end, which gives your lashes a lot of curve, ideal for people who like to skip the eyelash curler in the morning. The shape also makes it perfect for really getting into those small spaces and curves of your lash line that are sometimes missed with a straight wand. 3. The formula is, in a word... DREAMY. It is black- the kind of true black that creates such drama and intensity in the lashes. It goes on easily- a few swipes of the wand and your lashes, like the name claims, WILL look almost like falsies. It costs the lashes without feeling thick or heavy, and it is shockingly hard to create clumps (with the amount of volume you get with this product, you would expect MUCH more clumping). I like to use the curved end of the wand to tease out the ends of my lashes to create a beautiful fringe look. The length is like nothing I have ever experienced with other mascara brands- when I use this, my eyelashes LITERALLY brush my browbone... It's amazing. These are just a few reasons to buy this product, but from one makeup aficionado to the next, GET THIS MASCARA. Every SINGLE time I wear it, I get endless compliment on my eyelashes, and at least one person asks me what mascara I use. Every day. That is just the kind of product this is. So, do yourself a favor and buy this, you won't regret it :) *in the picture, I am wearing no makeup other than this mascara. I did not use an eyelash curler and only did a light coat, and THAT is the result... It's amazing <3

This has become my go-to mascara; I'm on my second tube now and I'm really happy with it. I love it for 4 reasons: 1. The applicator: I wear mascara almost every day, but I have always hated applying it. But this applicator makes it much faster and easier and is by far the best I've ever used - I don't understand why all applicator tips aren't shaped like this. It follows the natural curve of the eye, going on without clumps and greatly reducing the amount of smudges left around my eyes that I have to clean up afterwards with makeup remover. 2. The visual effect: It makes my eyelashes look the way I've always wished a mascara would make them look. They look thicker and a lot longer, forming a smooth arch with nice, tapered, clump-free tips. I've never worn false eyelashes so I can't personally attest to whether this product lives up to its name, but I can say for sure that with this product my lashes look as good as they ever have. 3. Length of wear: This mascara isn't waterproof, but I haven't had a problem with it smudging or wearing off, unless it's exposed to serious amounts of water or tears. Last night I was cutting onions and when my eyes started watering and I wiped them with a tissue the mascara came off - but it ALL came off easily, without leaving any residue around my eyes like always happens with other mascara. It washes off completely with soap and water and also comes off easily with makeup remover wipes, and it doesn't flake off at all during the day. Sometimes I even sleep in it, and without even reapplying it looks not as good but surprisingly decent the next day. 4. It doesn't irritate my eyes: I have pretty sensitive eyes and most mascaras will irritate them a little - just to the point where they're a bit red and itchy for an hour or so after I wash my makeup off in the shower. That doesn't happen with this product, for whatever reason. I would much prefer a natural, cruelty-free, and organic mascara, which are the standards I hold all my other makeup to. But every natural mascara I've tried is expensive and doesn't even last through the day without smudging everywhere. So for now I'm satisfied with this mascara that at least doesn't irritate my eyes. I'm not generally one to leave rave reviews of makeup, but I have to say I'm impressed by this product. The price, at least at the time of writing this review, is pretty unbeatable as well. I plan to use this stuff for the foreseeable future.

This doesn't make my lashes full or lengthen them. Made my eyes itch. Ok but I'm not getting again

My lashes look so long and it doesn't get all clumpy the way that some mascara is do.

That brush is magical! Makes lashes full and lovely. I have short and light colored lashes. This brush is a game changer!

This was cheap and acted like it. It seems to clump easily and you can't build with it.

I've used this mascara for years. I've tried lots of different kinds and this is my favorite. From the shape of the brush to how it lifts my eyelashes and makes them seem fuller, I haven't found a better brand yet.

It’s really easy to clean off, and for a non-waterproof mascara, it stays on pretty good as long as you don’t over do it and it starts to flake then. Recommended!

Il fait des paquets sur les cils, trop pâteux à mon gout, la brosse néanmoins n'est pas mal. Ne dure pas très longtemps non plus

This is still the best mascara I’ve used and it’s so inexpensive. Great for length and volume. No clumps. Better than really expensive mascara and looks like false eyelashes.

Muito bom, deixa os cilios maravilhosos! Rende muito, único chato que vem mt produto no pincel, tem que tirar bem se não pelota tudo os cilios, isso faz com que renda muito, e ele tende. Só um pouco já é o sufiente pra deixar cilhuda

I'm in my 50s, used to have long thick lashes that have since become sparse. I've used different mascaras over the years, and Maybelline Falsies has always come through for me. It lengthens, thickens without clumps and stays on all day. No flaking or smudging. No irritation. It removes easily using facial cleanser or soap and water. Admittedly, the "new" spoon brush takes time getting used to, but once you have that mastered, you will have beautiful thick full lashes. My mother said it looked like I had false lashes :) It's well worth trying for the price if you're looking for a great volumizing mascara.
