I am eternally on the hunt for amazing mascara and Maybelline has yet to disappoint. The Falsies Flared Volum' Express mascara is the ideal inexpensive make-up bag must. With the uniquely shaped brush you are able to lift and lengthen your lashes with the volum'express formula fills out your lashes,making it great for both day time and evening make-up looks. Maybelline calls this the “spoon curler” brush. The directions suggest first applying the mascara with the curved side, then again with the flat side from root to tip to finish with a flared effect. This mascara works better when you DO NOT wiggle the wand back and forth in a zig-zag motion when applying, as it may result in clumping instead of well-defined groups. I tried it both ways, and the straight up with the wand while you coat the lashes method gives the flared look. I WOULD NOT, however recomend this to a person who does not have many lashes as when trying to achieve the flared look your lashes may clump together.
