Our take on the Maybelline Great Lash BIG Washable Mascara

Maybelline Great Lash BIG is a washable volumizing and lengthening mascara built around an oversized brush called the Great Big Brush. The formula is designed to build volume without clumps while conditioning lashes, and it is ophthalmologist tested and safe for contact lens wearers. It suits shoppers who want a big, separated lash look from a drugstore staple and who prefer a washable formula that comes off with water and cleanser. Against tubing and waterproof rivals it gives up smudge-proof wear and easy rub-off removal in exchange for simple everyday use.
