A waterproof volumizing mascara with a wavy-bristle brush that loads lashes from root to tip. Waterproof formulas take more effort to remove at night.

Overview

Anyone after big, dramatic lashes that survive rain or tears gets a waterproof volumizer in Maybelline Colossal Big Shot. The wavy bristles cradle each lash to build bold volume from root to tip.

Volume that holds up to water and does not flake or smudge suits long days and humid weather. Removing a waterproof mascara takes an oil-based or dedicated remover, which is harder on lashes than a washable formula.

Who it's for

Weddings, beach days and anyone with watery eyes who wants volume that stays put. People who remove makeup with only a face wash should choose a washable formula.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Volume from root to tip
  • No flake, no smudge
  • Wavy bristles grip lashes
Cons
  • Harder to remove than washable mascara
  • Only volume, lengthening not claimed
  • Ingredients not listed

Performance notes

Volume builds as the wavy bristles deposit formula along the full length of each lash. Waterproof formulas resist water by forming a flexible film, which is also why they need a dedicated remover. Wiping excess off the brush reduces clumps.
