Meant to do this post yesterday and then laziness found me. Now I'm in relax mode. I should be in Christmas shopping mode though. I just feel like I have run out of ideas. Kinda like how I am running out of things to review. Figured I would dig this out though. I bought it a couple months back thinking I was buying my first colored mascara. But it's really just a colored primer for mascara.
Max Factor:
The secret's out. If you want to know how to get long eyelashes and sumptuous volume, prep for a fuller flutter with False Lash Effect Max Out Eyelash Primer. Simply glide the iconic, super-volumising False Lash Effect brush through bare lashes, and they'll be coated in intensifying blue micropigments that make eyelashes look darker and eyes look brighter. Then, once you've got this ground-breaking mascara primer on, sweep False Lash Effect Mascara over the top. Your lashes will look double the length and double the volume - instantly. No falsies needed. • Lash primer with blue micropigments to max out the boldness of your mascara • Rich formula helps increase lash volume, length and definition • Gives a false lash effect in seconds
A brand with history. Whenever I see this brand I think of old Hollywood makeup. I think they should lean more into that. I don't see many people talking about this brand and I don't think it's easily available in the US. This particular product is made in England.
So...why blue? I really thought it was just a fun blue colored mascara. Most primers I've tried have been white. While I was scrolling social media I came across a vid of a girl making a black smoky eye look. And she used blue as the base. I guess when when you are mixing colors and you want a richer, blacker black, you add blue. I didn't know that. I really need to learn more color theory. So I guess this is supposed to bring out the black in your mascara? TBH it's a cool concept but I don't think it makes a difference in the final outcome.
This is nice- if you have the time to layer it to get the "false lash effect". I also like to let it dry between coats. It does make a difference using this as a primer. So if I have the time and want my lashes to look extra voluminous...I will reach for this. It's not quite false lashes though...
By the time I put an actual mascara on I feel like I am just putting on a top coat to color the mascara black. This will do all the heavy lifting. It's quite dry too so you really are just putting it on for color. The mascara I use it with now is great- but the first one I tried it with I noticed it would flake. So your "top" coat makes a difference.
It makes your mascara wear like iron. It's not going anywhere once you put it on and can be a little challenging to get off at the end of the day.
It's not a bad primer. I like having it in my makeup collection for days I want my mascara to look a little extra. It's also nice to have just in case I have a mascara I am trying out that doesn't do it for me, rather than wasting it, I can "fix" it with this.
It's not a must have. But it's something that's nice to have. I do need to try more primers though...while I like this I am sure there are better out there!
