Is The Colossal mascara waterproof?

This version is the washable formula, not the waterproof one. Maybelline also sells a separate waterproof Colossal if you need swim or sweat resistance.

How does it compare with other Maybelline mascaras?

The Colossal leans toward bold volume with its large brush. Lash Sensational focuses more on separation and fan-out, and Full 'N Soft is a lighter, more natural look.

Does it work for short lashes?

It can, but the big brush makes short lashes harder to coat without smudging. A smaller-brush mascara is easier for very short or sparse lashes.

Is it safe for contact lens wearers?

The formula is ophthalmologist tested. If your eyes are sensitive, test it carefully and avoid touching the brush to your eye.

How do I keep it from clumping?

Wipe excess product off the brush and build in thin coats, combing through between layers. Replace the tube once the formula thickens.

The listing is for a single 0.31 fl oz tube of The Colossal Washable Mascara in Glam Black.

Our take on the Maybelline Volum Express The Colossal Washable Mascara

The Colossal is Maybelline's volume-focused mascara built around a large Mega Brush and a collagen-infused washable formula. The big brush grabs lashes fast and builds thick, dramatic volume in a couple of coats, which is what most buyers come to it for. It suits people who want bold volume over precise separation, and it sits below tubing and lengthening mascaras if clean definition matters more to you. Owners praise the volume and staying power but often mention clumping and a formula that dries out over time.
