Overview
Building thick, dramatic lashes is the job of Colossal, a waterproof mascara with a collagen formula and an hourglass shaped brush. The brush loads and separates lashes one by one, and the formula is meant to plump without clumping.
Waterproof volume that holds through humidity and tears is the reason to buy it. The same waterproofing makes removal harder, and the listing quotes two different volume multiples, so treat the figure loosely.
Who it's for
Long days, weddings and humid weather, where lashes need to stay put. Those who prefer subtle definition or dislike using an oil based remover each night should choose a washable formula.
Pros and cons
- Hourglass brush separates lashes
- Collagen formula for plumper lashes
- Suitable for contact lens wearers
- Volume claim differs: 9x vs 7x
- Needs a remover for waterproof formula
- Only Glam Black in this listing
Performance notes
Volume comes from the oversized hourglass brush depositing more formula per stroke, while collagen thickens each lash. Waterproof polymers resist water and tears, which also means the film does not break down without a dedicated remover.
