Review: Maybelline The Falsies Push Up Angel Mascara

At the beginning of the year Maybelline released a new mascara as part of their Push Up mascara. It's a different kind of mascara for Maybelline and had a big ad campaign with Gigi Hadid fronting it. They clearly wanted it to be as good as the original Push Up Mascara or even their Lash Sensational Mascara. And it is.

The Push Up Angel has a thin curved wand with bristles on one side.Being one sided may seem a weird concept for a mascara wand but on this particular mascara it works very well. It's bristles are very close together so it coats every lash without leaving lashes clumpy or crispy. It's wet formula means you can layer this mascara to create dramatic volume without the use of false lashes. Don't sneeze though as this will go everywhere and that's just not a good look. The thin one sided brush not only coats every lash but grips them and fans them out for added volume and length.

When I first opened this mascara I didn't think I was going to like it. However from the first brush of the wand I was bowled over with how this gripped, lifted, seperated and volumised my lashes. I had fanned out dramatic volume that looked natural with one coat but still had that wow effect. I did find it easily transfer onto my eyelids but was nothing a cotton bud couldn't clear up. Usually throughout the day my lashes would droop but with this mascara they still have a nice curl and volumised look. An oil based cleanser or bio-phase eye make up remover removes this perfectly without it stinging the eyes.

If you're in the market for a new mascara and you don't want to pay the earth for it then definitely have a look at this mascara. It's one sided wand makes it easier to work with and it's gravity defying formula means your lashes won't droop or lose their curl throughout the day. And for under a tenner it's well worth giving it a go.
