I like to play around with make-up and over the
years I’ve tried many brands and types of mascara – let’s face it, there are
enough of them around.
You can buy
lengthening mascara, super extending mascara, volumising mascara, curling
effect mascara, lash defining mascara, false lash effect mascara, adjustable
mascara …
Mascara can
come with a classic wand, slim-line brush, extra large brush, comb applicator,
curved brush, spiral brush …
The choices
are endless, even before you start on the question of colour – black, nearly
black, brown/black, navy, electric blue, violet …
So when I
caught sight of yet another variety of mascara in the shops, I just had to give it a whirl.
Max
Factor Eye Brightening (Tonal Black Volumising) Mascara stands out with its predominantly
white packaging – a change from the more subdued black, dark blue or burgundy
of many other brands. The idea is that you choose the mascara aimed at your eye
colour, as opposed to just any colour that takes your fancy. This was no mean
feat in my case, as my eyes are a sort of grey-blue with little hazel flecks
for good measure. Can’t think why there didn’t seem to be this option
available! So I chose the variety aimed at blue eyes, aka black sapphire.
The mascara
has a thin, classic brush, and seems to glide on as it has a creamy consistency
and doesn’t clump. The first coat didn’t really produce much effect, but a
second coat made my lashes appear a little more defined. I really loved the
fact that this mascara didn’t smudge, clump or look overdone.
But do my
eyes appear brighter? I like to think that they have an added ‘shine’ to them,
but this may be down to my dewy-eyed optimism.
