Full and Thick Lashes
Stef42678 (479 reviews)

I really love this mascara because it makes my lashes look fuller and thicker and doesn't clump. I like that it coats each lash evenly for a great look, that is long lasting. — 3 years ago

Love this mascara!!
italiaca (222 reviews)

Coats & separates lashes, only clumps a little bit. Will definitely use this again. It is so much better than Lancome's Defincils that I bought about a month ago. And it's WAY cheaper. — 3 years, 4 months ago

One, Two, Voila!
Starluxe (298 reviews)

This is a decent everyday mascara, while it isn't exactly a glam factor as it manifests, it does deliver a hint of length and volume with a swipe or two. While it's a drug store brand, I'm happy to say it does outperform quite a few department store regulars. A swipe or two of this and you're done, even more can give you a faux lash effect but it can stick together and clump so there's the minus points right there. For a price of around six to eight dollars, this is a deal for a good mascara with chic casing, because I'm hesitant to keep anything ultra bright in my see-through Sephora makeup bag for some reason, this is minimal but very fashionable to keep. — 4 years ago

did they change it?

I have used this for a long time but it seems like the last few bottles have not worked as well... I still love it though. — 2 years, 7 months ago

It's a Keeper!
jayboo5 (67 reviews)

When I finally realized how well a second coat goes on with this mascara it has quick become a favorite. It's buildable and gives great volume. It's not clumpy and I don't have to wipe off the wand before applying, like some volumizing mascaras. It also wears well all day and doesn't flake. This is a sure thing that goes on beautifully and washes off easily with my regular face wash - no make-up remover required. The price is fair and I would definitely recommend this product. It's one that I would buy again. — 2 years, 7 months ago

THEE BEST I EVER HAD
starstuddedchic (3 reviews)

I must say i never used a mascara that was this good(just talking about it gets me soooo excited :D). All through the years I've been using almost all the Maybelline mascaras (Define-A-Lash, Colossal,Great Lash, Lash Stiletto, XXL Extensions,etc.) thinking that no other their brand could beat them down, but boy was I wrong! I actually don't know what prompted me to use Volume Couture but I just did and I immediately fell in LOVE<3. It doesn't clump, flake, dry out, get somewhat messy on the eyelid or irritate my contacts. It even lifts, curls, separates and elongate your lashes. For me to get all of that I'd have to use Full N' Soft, Great Lash & Colossal all together(plus ALL 3 and even more completely flake off/ wither) to achieve that same look. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE TRY THIS. YOU'll NEVER LOOK BACK LIKE ME! — 2 years, 12 months ago

This Mascara is As Good as the $30 Brand!
wonderstar9 (2 reviews)

I first read about Max Factor Volume Couture Mascara in Consumer Reports Shop Smart Magazine. The reviews were excellent, so I gave it a try. I had only been able to wear Lancome Definicils because it was the only mascara that did not smear under my eyes. Volume Couture DOES NOT SMEAR!!!, and so I am now able to get the same results as the $30 brand for less than half of what I was paying before! Very Happy!!! — 2 years, 12 months ago

Great stuff, for cheap!
ntran06 (11 reviews)

I've been using this mascara since high school, on and off, as i experiment with other mascaras. By far, this has been the best in terms of providing the volume I need. My lashes are long, but really thin, so i'm not worried about length. this mascara does what it promises- adds volume! The only drawback is that it flakes a lot... =/ but for 7 bucks, i'll take it any ol day! — 3 years, 1 month ago

One of the best mascaras ever!
bethtownley (9 reviews)

I recently received a full-sized sample of L'Oreal's Double Extend Mascara and the only thing it's accomplished is that it's made me miss Max Factor's Volume Couture mascara like crazy! I was really blown away by how much volume the Volume Couture gives my lashes. (The name says it all.) I like it so much better than Dior's Diorshow, which I think is grossly overpriced for the quality. Volume Couture also doesn't clump or flake - it really lasts all day. I am going back to this ASAP! — 3 years, 1 month ago

LOVE and great colors
juliafofulia445 (65 reviews)

I adore this mascara not only does it match Diorshow but it also has awesome colors. I have red hair and the auburn looks great on me. I normally and stuck with brown black which is way to dark with my light coloring. As a bonus it makes my light blue eyes POP! — 3 years, 1 month ago
