Estee Lauder MagnaScopic Maximum Volume Mascara

Average member rating of 7.0
Average member rating
Rated a 6.5
Big promises from this big blue tube: thick lashes, easy precision, bold color and no clumping. The heavy liquid offers even coverage after several coats, but "30 percent more intense"? Nah. The trouble is the super-straight wand; the tapered tip is a magnet for excess product, making it hard to get to smaller end lashes. The short bristles glide over lashes with minimal clumping, but the "300 percent more thickness" claim might be a couple zeroes off.

    not a fan

    I usually like Estee Lauder's mascaras, but I really hate this product.

    Black as Night

    by Goddess_Isis (15 reviews)
    This is a luxurious black mascara. It glides on smoothly and rarely clumps *unless you are into at least the third layer*.

It gives you nice, defined lashes, without making you look like a clown that failed out of clown school. And the price is right for the quality of the product. The smaller size (that comes in the free gift with purchase sets) fit perfectly into the small nighttime clutch without taking too much space but leaving your lashes covered.

    Messy and not worth the time.

    I am a proud Lancome user and instead of buying one of their mascaras (which all have good reviews)I decided since Estee Lauder had a gift option I would try out theirs.

August 24, 2008, 7:28 am I am a proud Lancome user and instead of buying one of their mascaras (which all have good reviews)I decided since Estee Lauder had a gift option I would try out theirs. I bought the primer which does not work either, 1 week and it has dried up and this mascara. This mascara is messy and goes everywhere. I just put some on and it takes about 5 mins. to dry and so it messed up when I accadentaly blinked and it went on my eyelid, where it for once sticks and after I took most of it off, my eyeshadow was off all the way as well with it. Then it clumps since you have to put literaly 3 strokes on each lash to get any effect. My eyelash brush could not even get any justice done because this mascara is so clumpy, sticky, and messy. I am now and forever chased away from Estee Lauder! August 24, 2008, 7:28 am

However, I do not consider my eyes to be sensitive and have never had a problem with makeup around my eyes before until this. This mascara caused my eyes to become red and and very itchy. I ended up giving this mascara to a friend rather than continuing to use it. May 28, 2008, 7:33 pm

    Love your lashes

    by jessie8rox (4 reviews)
    Love this mascara. Glides on evenly (even after more than 1 coat) and never clumps. Washes off easily. Price is fair for the high quality of the product. I will never stand in the makeup dept. wondering what mascara to choose again! January 31, 2008, 1:06 pm

    Best Single Coat Mascara

    by Michele9 (5 reviews)
    I've tried them all and always go back to MagnaScopic. It coats every lash and drys quickly - won't smudge off if you blink waiting for it to dry. Doesn't clump either and you don't have to continually coat your lashes. Thick, full and long - I've received more compliments on my lashes wearing this than any other mascara.

    The Bomb

    by pentzcp (23 reviews)
    This mascara does what it's suppose too. Creates long lenthy sexy lashes! Not too mention seperates and defines. Best mascara I have ever used. I refuse to purchase anything but Estee Lauder's Mascara, worth every penny and more. December 2, 2007, 6:32 am

    Magna great!

    by patricet (8 reviews)
    I love magnascopic mascara. I do have to put on several coats to get the look I desire but it doesn't clump like other mascaras with multiple layers. I think its worth the extra dollars. My only complaint it doesn't last long. I feel like it starts drying out in a couple of months. July 25, 2008, 11:20 pm
