Is The Falsies Waterproof good for contact lens wearers?

Yes. Maybelline says the formula is ophthalmologist tested and suitable for contact lens wearers.

How does it compare with the washable The Falsies?

The waterproof version resists sweat, tears and humidity far better, but it needs an oil-based remover and tends to dry out in the tube sooner.

How many coats should I use?

One or two coats give the fanned volume most owners like. More than that tends to clump and look spidery.

Use an oil-based eye makeup remover or cleansing balm. Water and regular cleanser leave residue and pull at lashes.

Owners say the waterproof film helps lashes stay lifted through the day, especially when the brush is used from root to tip.

Our take on the Maybelline Volum Express The Falsies Waterproof Mascara

The Falsies Waterproof is Maybelline's volume-building mascara built around a curved, flexible Spoon Curler Brush and a carbon-black fiber formula. The spoon-shaped brush lifts and separates lashes while the fibers stack volume for a fanned, false-lash look, and the waterproof film resists smudging through tears, sweat and humidity. It suits people who want dramatic volume and hold for long days, weddings or humid weather. Against washable drugstore volumizers it trades easy removal for staying power; against premium fiber mascaras it delivers similar volume at a fraction of the cost, though it needs an oil-based remover and can clump if layered too heavily.
