Maybelline Push Up Drama Mascara

Mascara is a must in my makeup bag and in my mind you can never have too many and that is why I was so excited when Maybelline released their new Push Up Drama Mascara!

First off, the packaging. It does appear like it is one of the dual ended mascaras, but I can assure you it is just one brush! The chrome pink and orange really make it stand out and give it a bit of a retro feel. Similar size to most other mascaras, meaning it is easy to hold and doesn't take up much room in your makeup bag.

I love uniqueness of the brush as it consists of 'push up cups' that promises to scoop and lift lashes to give the effect of falsies. As the brush is quite small, it captures every lash, even the smallest of ones and coats them in the mascara. The formula itself is the blackest of black with just one coat - the shade is called 'very black' for a reason - which, to me is perfect! It is quite a wet formula and takes a bit to dry, so be careful not to sneeze for a while! The brush does take a bit of practice to get used to without it making lashes clumpy - I find wiping off the excess and leaving what looks like very little on the brush to best way.

Overall, this is a pretty good mascara formula and I love how dark it is. Personally, I don't really like the brush too much, I feel it would be better and lift lashes more if it was slightly bigger, as it is quite small. It also means that your more likely to get it literally everywhere when you apply it - or is that just me?!
