I always skip applying mascara on my lower lashes because application is very difficult with the same fluffy brush. But I think Maybelline listened to my requirement and they launched “Maybelline Volum’ Express Falsies Big Eyes Mascara”. This mascara has two specially designed wands one for upper lashes and other for lower lashes.
Description: Revolutionary dual-ended Mascara for 360? All around Lash Glam. Two brushes specifically designed for top and bottom lashes. Special quick-dry formula holds lashes in place
MY Experience: Maybelline Volum’ Express Falsies Big Eyes Mascara comes in an attractive girl packaging. The black and purple tube is easy to hold and there are two wands one for upper lashes and one for lower lashes. The mouth of both the sides is also different so there’s no chance you mix the wands. Both the wands are of different size for different purpose. Overall, the packaging is practical, convenient and easy to use. The shade is jet black and it has mild fragrance which isn’t very noticeable.
The brush for the upper lashes is of standard size and it’s slightly curved so that it covers upper lashes from roots to tips. Whereas the lower lash wand is sleek that makes application on lower lashes very easy. Both the wands are flexible and they pick up good amount of product for fuss-free application.
The brush is not too big or dense which is a great thing as you can easily get into the corner of your eyes without smudging it onto your skin. The upper lashes brush is of good quality but it picks up a lot of product at once so be careful while application. It gives fuller lashes in two coats and also lifts the lashes. If you have thin lashes then you will love the effects but if you have thick lashes then you will not like it as it gives you natural look. It doesn’t create any dramatic look so it’s good for daily use.
The brush for the lower lashes is extremely handy. It makes a huge difference in my lashes. You know I usually skip applying mascara on my lower lashes due to the big fluffy mascara wands but this Maybelline mascara has made it so easy to apply mascara on lower lashes. If you have very feather-like lower lashes trust me this is ideal for you.
The formula is quick-dry so you don’t have to wait for long. It’s also waterproof so taking it off from your lashes can be a hectic task. It comes off only with an oil-based remover. There is also a washable version of this mascara but I prefer waterproof because it’s long wearing. This mascara stays for as long as I don’t remove it so it’s perfect for parties and special occasions too.

Final Verdict: Maybelline Volum’ Express Falsies Big Eyes Mascara is a two-in-one mascara because it contains two different brushes one for upper lashes and one for lower lashes. It lengthens, adds volume, makes lashes thicker and gives a very natural look. If you have very thin lashes then it’s ideal for you. The long staying power and waterproof formula makes it worth every penny. I’m very much impressed and would whole-heartedly recommend it to all.
