Do you want the look of lash extensions or false lashes without a trip to the salon or the mess and fuss of glue? Maybelline® Volum' Express the Falsies Washable Mascara can do what falsies do, but you can easily apply this yourself with no hassle. Build up to eight times the volume and get three times the lushness with this smooth, non-clumping formula. Layer on as many coats as you need to build the incredible volume you like. Ophthalmologist tested and contact safe.
Who It’s For: Recommended for all lash lengths.
How It Works:
- Kera-fibers build volume without clumping.
- Acrylates are silicone-based lash fixatives that help lashes hold their style and resist the effects of humidity.
- Cera alba is a natural emollient to soften and hydrate lashes.
- Stearic acid is a thickener and an emollient to soften and hydrate lashes.
- Acacia detangles lashes and reduces buildup.
- Hydrogenated jojoba oil has a similar chemical makeup to that of sebum produced naturally by the skin. It softens and conditions lashes and it has mild antibacterial qualities to reduce surface impurities.
- Panthenol protects lashes and locks in moisture.
Suggested Use: Hold brush with spoon side against lashes and sweep from root to tip to fill in gaps and coat each lash with kera-fiber formula. Repeat until false lash look is achieved. Do not let dry between coats.

"I usually love the mascaras in the Maybelline Volum' Express line, but this one sucks. It's kind of "greasy" and it doesn't stick to my lashes. It seems to weigh them down and make them look shorter also, and that's the exact opposite effect that I was going for!"

"I use this product in the "black drama" color. This is the best mascara I have ever used. I have long thick lashes naturally and this makes them pop. I have heard from my friends who have short sparse lashes that they did not notice a difference using this product but I have. I have used other mascaras from high end brands and none of them compare to Maybelline's the falsies black drama. I always come back to this one especially because it does not irritate my eyes which is important if you wear contacts like I do. Love this mascara!"

"Sadly, I like this mascara better than the Lancome Definicils mascara. I love the fact that it's also about 1/3 or less of the cost! I don't have super thick lashes so I get this to darken and thicken them up. It works great! One of the better mascaras I've used."

"This is without a doubt the best mascara on the market. When I use this mascara after curling my lashes, they are perfect. Lots of volume, keeps them curled and separated. My lashes have started to thin as I get older and I was so frustrated because nothing made them look good. I have tried just about every mascara on the market and I won't buy anything else. "

"This mascara is just alright. It clumped a good bit and didn't really give me the falsies effect. There are much better drugstore mascaras out there. I prefer Great Lash: Lots of Lashes much better (not to be mistaken for the regular Great Lash, which is terrible)."

"I really wanted to like this mascara. However, it proved to be just a flakey mess! My lashes are naturally long, but not thick. I bought the Falsies to add some volume to my lashes. Unfortunately, while this mascara emphasized the length of my lashes, it did not add any thickness. And, it flaked within an hour of application. Very disappointed with this purchase and I am returning the product."

"This is one of the best drugstore mascaras!! It is buildable and makes for great lashes with lots of volume! Most mascaras are the same....they get clumpy and can make a mess. But take your time, go slow and actually brush the mascara on....it works great! This mascara is worth having in your arsenal fo dail use or for the fantastic backup!! Its a great price too!
Mascara dries out after time since it is exposed to the air. So yeah, it gets clumpy. You are supposed to ditch mascara every 30 days anyway, right? (seriusly,,who does that?) Thats why you find a great everyday one that doesn't cost so much! Im always searching for a great mascara....there are lots out there.... this Maybelline one, Avon, Mally, Laura Geller....good luck ladies!"

"I use this product almost exclusively. When it's new it works like a dream. Makes my lashes look thicker, more full, and dramatic without looking like spiderlegs. As it gets older,(a month or so of use) the formula gets a little thick and it takes a few more coats to get the same affect, but it still works fantastically and doesn't get flaky after all day wear. Love it."

I'm used to smaller brushes than this but it defines lashes so well that I had to find a specific use for it. So from now on I use it exclusively when I want to make the false lash effect, with 2 layers of primer and 2 layers of mascara on top. It will brush even the thickest lashes and make them look natural without giving them this nasty spider legs effect.

"When I buy drugstore mascara I usually buy Maybelline. This made my lashes look great. Definitely adds noticeable thickness. The only thing I didn't like was I felt like the wand wasn't very sturdy. I liked the shape of the applicator part of the wand, but for some reason the wand itself felt kind of bendy to me."
