In fact, 34% of women actually wear a more glammed up make-up look for everyday life, just in case they have their photo taken.

From the many beauty products women rely on, mascara and lipstick were voted as the make-up essentials for instant glamour. 75% of women apply these for a pre-selfie beauty refresh, so in light of this research, Max Factor has launched its new False Lash Epic mascara to make sure lashes are #SelfieReady at all times.
