Earlier this month I did a picture tutorial post on the new Maybelline Falsies Push-Up Drama Mascara. Since then I’ve seen/heard quite a bit of hate on the mascara, including one comment on the original blog post. I personally really do like this mascara. Is it my all-time favorite on Earth? No. Is it my favorite at the drugstore? No, but it is in the top 5, likely the top 3.
In the video below I talk about this mascara and also show you how I apply it. The video is unedited (but only 7 minutes long) – because I don’t know how to edit videos and don’t have the time to learn, but also because you can see in real time how I’m applying it and what it’s doing for my lashes. You’ll see my lashes with nothing on them and then with one, two and three coats of the Maybelline Falsies Push-Up Drama Mascara. You can see the comparison of one eye wearing nothing and then one eye with three coats of this mascara.
Not all mascaras are going to work the same for everyone. What works for me may or may not work for you simply because we don’t have the same lashes. Plenty of mascaras that work for other people do not work for me. For example, I work for Pur Cosmetics and won’t recommend the mascara to anyone because it’s way too wet. It literally got all over my hands, face… every where. It was completely bizarre. And that’s just ONE example. However, plenty of people sing it’s praises. With any makeup you have to give it a chance. Try it more than once, apply it with a different technique. If it still doesn’t work 99% of businesses (at least in the US) will take it back if you have your receipt. You’re well within your right to return a product that doesn’t work for you… and you should, because then you can pick up something that will work out.
I hope this video helped you out! If you can think of anything else you’d like to see applied lmk in the comments!
*Disclosure – While the original post of Maybelline Falsies Push-Up Drama was sponsored this post is not. The brand didn’t ask me to do this and they have no idea that I did. Because of comments I’ve seen on that post as well as ones on the Maybelline Facebook Page I decided it would be fun to make a video and show how the mascara looks after each coat.
I totally need to try this product. After watching your tutorial I think I would like it.

I agree. For the most part, mascara is relative, it may work to some and not for others. But based on my experience, a “bad” mascara can turn good after 4 or 5 uses. The formula seems to improve in time

This mascara is really dividing people, but I don’t mind it. I don’t love it, but it’s okay.

I tend to pick a mascara and stick with it forever. Right now I’m stuck on Perversion haha

I was teetering on this one, but I actually like it now that you’ve shown it better!

It looks fine, to me. Would I run out and buy? Probs not. I’m not a big Maybelline mascara fan, in general but I don’t see anything to get all hatred filled and go spew vitriol all over a Facebook page about. lol
And I NEVER do weird things with my mouth. Just ask my husband.
Okay, running, now…

After seeing your video I realized that I usually start at the outer corner and build that up first. Sometimes things become so second nature that you don’t even realize what you are doing. Mascara is so difficult to recommend yet we do it all the time. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t. I like when it works best.

Mascara’s are so personal, some I swear by others hate, and vice versa. I’ve really never come across a Maybelline mascara that I haven’t liked, so I think I might try this!

I am going to try the “outer-corner-first for two coats and the other way around for the third” method. It certainly gave you great results!

I love how it looks, and it works great ..i took it on my trip with me and could NOT get it off my lashes and I lost a few 🙁 I did forget a good eye makeup remover and was trying to use a face oil. I still love it, but I am prepared from now on to take it off hehe.

I’ve heard coconut oil is gentle for taking it off!
I love the look of this wand– I need to try this mascara out! Thanks for the fantastic tutorial!

I use, and love, the OG Falsies, but I like the look of the brush on this new version. I’ll have to give it a try. Thanks for the video!

I usually like wands like that. In fact, Too Lash Gasm and CoverGirl The Super Sizer, both with a similar wand, are among my favorites. I’m not in a hurry to try this one, but it’s good to know. Thank you for going to the trouble to make a video and really explain this mascara.

This is a first for me – the first Maybelline mascara that I actually like, not exactly sure what it is about it that I like but I like it…lol Maybe it’s just nice and black and it does offer some lengthening for me.
