GOOD SHADE OF BLACK VERY PIGMENTED - SMUDGES IF NOT DRIED PROPERLY AND IF YOU APPLY MULTIPLE COATS OF MASCARA AT ONE - MORE LENGTHENING THAN VOLUMISING - PEOPLE MISTAKEN FOR FALSIES WHEN WORN ALONE...

Some years ago I tried the regular Ysl mascara effect faux cils and I really liked it. It gave me fabulous lashes, long and quite flirty. So I thought this one should be even better and I decided...

It is a bit clumpy, but I do like how it makes my lashes look like fake eyelashes. I have sparse, straight pointing downward lashes, and this mascara keeps the curl really well. I would give this...

Hate. Strong words, but this is great dislike. First, it is clumpy. I had used the original a number of years ago and wanted to try again, but had asked for a very dark black. This is what the...

This one holds all the qualifications I look for in a mascara: long-lasting, non-clumping, volumizing, separating... the list goes on. It really is the blackest black I've seen and the quality is...

I am so in love with this mascara! This has reached HG status for me. I've been searching for the perfect mascara since I started wearing make-up. I'd read about YSL's Faux Cils before, but I...

This mascara is TERRIBLE. Now, it functions just as good as the original YSL mascara, however, it smudges like CRAZY. Like, it would smudge everywhere within a few minutes of...

There is obviously a lot of hype around this mascara, and I can see why, but I don't think I'd purchase it again. It does give a really "fake lashes" kind of look, and the noir radical is the...

The regular Volume Effet Faux Cils is as close to a HG as mascara gets. The Noir Radical, however, is not the same product and was immediately returned. Like other reviewers, I found it clumpy and...

I'm really disappointed with this product. While it does make your lashes appear thicker and darker, it just kind of sits on your lashes like a heavy coating. Plus it is a nightmare to take off --...

This product did not live up to the hype. It is okay at best. I need a mascara to not only lengthen but to add volume. This just gave me some length but did nothing for volume. L'Oreal...

I know it's the new blackest black colour, but is this formula the same? I don't think so! My best mascara of all times was the original black faux cils, but now I've tried this colour expecting to...
