So many new mascaras at the moment!! I really liked the original verison of this Maybelline one so I was keen to try out its waterproof sister seeing as summer is on the way. Here’s the low down on the Maybelline Falsies Push Up Drama Waterproof with before and after photos.
So once again this mascara is all about that curl and lift but this time in a waterproof formulation. Gigi Hadid is the face of this product, I like to channel her as I apply it! Ha!!

Before & After
Before:
The eyeshadow if from the new Ciate Fearless palette in case you’re interested? I am obsessed and it lasted all day!
After:
On the left is one coat, and on the right is two. Rather embarrassingly, I completely forgot to even them up so actually spent an entire day out and about like this. Whaaaaaat?!
This mascara keeps a curl really well, doesn’t budge and is truly waterproof. This actually makes it rather tricky to get off, so you are going to need to spend a bit of time with an oil based remover to really be free of this. I have to say, this is the downside of waterproof, however, the D&G one is slightly easier to get off, although rather a lot more money.
Product Description: Maybelline New York introduces the 1st of its kind Falsies Push Up Drama Mascara to deliver dramatic volume with a 45 degree lift. Superior Technology with cup shaped bristles and push up brush that scoops, coats, and lifts lashes, bathing them in volume.
My Experience with Maybelline The Falsies Push Up Drama Mascara [Washable]
Packaging: This mascara comes in a distinct, metallic, colorful packaging. The tube has a red screw-up cap, a black middle portion with lettering in rose gold, and a pink base. It has an unusual shape too. It has a unique push up cup brush, which scoops, coats, and lifts lashes, bathing them in volume. The wand is long, and bristles are spiky. This mascara is housed inside a similar-toned outer paperboard carton, and it contains all the necessary information, including the ingredients list. This funky packaging is quite sturdy and travel friendly. However, it would have been great if the shelf life was mentioned at the base of the mascara tube.
Texture: The texture of this mascara is a bit liquidy, so it can get a little messy [I am not sure if this is the case with the waterproof variant as well]. Once it is set, there will be no flaking, smearing, or smudging. It is jet black and highly pigmented. It glides on effortlessly without any tugging or pulling. The wand applies the mascara without any clumps. One coat is enough to give that full-on mascara look. It does not make the eyelashes stiff.
Performance: This mascara is on the wet side. So it definitely needs time to set. Be careful as it can mess your complete eye makeup. However, once it is set, it gives flake-free, smudge-proof wear.
This mascara adds incredible length to the lashes. You get dramatically long lashes effortlessly. The wand’s spiky bristles truly scoop the lashes out and add length and volume to them. Although it adds good length and volume, it does not give that “lifting” effect, which is disappointing. It does not curl up the lashes nor completely hold the curl created with an eyelash curler. One coat of this mascara does not cluster the lashes, whereas multiple coats add clumpiness to the lashes. However, one coat is quite enough to get dramatically long, thick lashes. Also it needs drying time between coats. This mascara is both washable and smudge proof, making it perfect for our hot and humid Indian weather. It can easily stay on the lashes until you intend to take them off, and it did not irritate the eyes even a bit. Although washable mascara, it needs a bit of effort to remove from the lashes. A good eye makeup remover is a must. My preference for the washable version has no meaning. It is definitely not an everyday mascara. Its special effects need special occasions 😉 Overall, I am not a falsies person, and I am in love with the falsies effect this mascara gives me.
