      Don't waste your money

      I have used this mascara and sky high for a long time and the formula must have changed because now it rubs off below my brow bone and leaves mascara marks which it never did before. The mascara is now too sticky and clumps all my lashes together which is also an issue I had never experienced with my previous purchases. I wish yall wouldn't have messed with a good thing.

      No, I do not recommend this product.

      Hi there! It is possible minor changes were made to the Falsies Mascara formula; however, the performance should meet or exceed previous results and may not be noticeable. There are different reasons why a formula might be changed; availability of ingredients, changing industry requirements, and product improvements are common examples. The ingredients listed on the physical product are always accurate listing. We hope this helps!

      Best Mascara Ever

      2 years ago
      The absolute best mascara. Maybelline, please don't stop making this. I have tried dozens of mascaras, including super-high priced and award-winning mascaras, and this one beats them all. Gives great volume, easy to apply, doesn't flake or smudge, and washes off easily.

      Was once great, not anymore, changed formula‘s bad

      I used the “Falsies” variant from Maybelline for the last 8 years or so..earlier this month after buying a new tube, I noticed that my lashes were nowhere near the length they were or as thick as they’d been for years now since using this product. So I bought a second tube thinking maybe it was just a bad batch, but no, same exact issues persisting. Thats $20 wasted and I had to go to Sephora to find a more expensive and upscale brand to get the same desired effect as my “falsies” once provided..bummer

      I ditched all my other mascaras after finding this

      3 years ago
      Well, I sure hope that Maybelline keeps making this one. It checks all the boxes. It lifts the lashes, multiplies them, thickens them, and curls them. Moreover, it is less irritating on my eyes than the other mascaras I have tried, and I can rinse it with just water and it comes off. I think I may get rid of all my other mascaras after trying this one, because this is the only one I want and need. If I had to use only one mascara for the rest of my life, it is this one, hands down.

      Yes, I recommend this product.

      I was hoping to get great results, but not this one. I love the Maybelline line. This mascara has my eye lashes stuck together and hard to clean off my face. After soaping my lashes and losing a few and using oil, my lashes finally feels somewhat normal. This was a brand new tube, not expiring until

      Extremely dissatisfied. Don’t buy this!!!

      3 years ago
      I was very excited to try this new mascara but after 3 uses the material is very crumbly and flaky. Multiple times it has gotten in my eyes, I had very high hopes for this product I had purchased but very quickly dissatisfied and disappointed. Typically I use a similar kind of mascara that doesn’t cake as bad but just wanted to try something new. Never again. After several other products of Maybelline I’ve used that just cake up, smudge or over all just feel uncomfortable on my face I don’t think I’ll be using their products again. Can’t even begin to express my frustration on the matter, especially after spending the money I earn to buy these products.

      Worst ever

      I was extremely disappointed with my last purchase of this product. I hadn't purchased it for about 2 years, but when I came back to this mascara it was dried up, crumbly, and pretty much useless. could not return because the package was opened, go figure. Poor value since it's pretty much useless.

      Disappointed!

      6 years ago
      I have used this mascara for 5 years and been in love with how long and voluminous it made my lashes appear. People would seriously ask me if I was wearing fake eyelashes or if I got extensions! I could wear just this mascara and go out in public feeling 100% confident and beautiful. I ran out of mascara about a month ago and of course I went to buy another tube - WHAT HAPPENED?!? The first thing I noticed is that the tube no longer appears metallic, but obviously that's not a huge deal. When I pulled the wand out, I thought it looked a little different but even at this point I wasn't about to throw the towel in. However, when I started applying I was so frustrated I wanted to cry! The brush is much fatter so it clumps up my lashes, not like before when it would separate and elongate them. Now I get mascara ALL over my eyelid. Not sure what happened here but I am not a fan and will be searching for a new favorite.

      No, I do not recommend this product.

      Beautifully quick and thick!

      6 years ago
      It so fast and easy to apply. Just two real slow swipes from near the root and outward makes my lashes look thicker and stays on without smudging for at least 8 hours or more! I am not allergic to it at all either. This is so much better than Almay's mascara. A little goes a long way. The only thing is the wand is curved and hard to get all the excess off when brand new. After a few times, it works great. I love it! It is my favorite. It easily comes off with makeup remover or body shampoo and a washcloth.

      I love the way my lashes look with this mascara, but it really irritates my eyes compared to other Maybelline mascaras I’ve worn. I also find it so difficult to remove, even though it is not even a waterproof mascara. I probably won’t be purchasing again.

      Hate the brush

      I bought this as a bogo half off at Rite Aid with a tube of Rocket Volume. This brush does not seem to perform for me at all, and I tried putting the wand from Rocket Volume in to at least try out the formula but it doesn't fit the tube. I have great lashes, they are just blonde and need mascara. This mascara isn't the one for me.
