    Hi! Thank you for sharing your feedback on our Colossal Bubble Waterproof Mascara. We are sorry to hear about the clumping and that it was a bit tough to remove, though we know that heavy-duty waterproof power is key! We have passed your comments along to our team. For easy removal, we recommend using an oil-based eye makeup remover or micellar water to gently wipe it away. We invite you to explore our other mascara options to find your perfect match! XO

    Wand sucks

    7 months ago
    I used the regular bubble mascara and decided to try the waterproof. It’s absolute trash compared the first one. And did yall change the wand?? It makes my eyelashes so chunky and makes them look stubby when they are a pretty decent length.

    No, I do not recommend this product.

    So dissapointed :(

    7 months ago
    Was so excited to finally try this out, as I usually love all maybelliene products. I was expecting so much more from this. It’s not buildable its formula is entirely too wet and comes out in huge clumps. Makes my lashes look like short, stubby spider lashes. And I have naturally long lashes , very disappointed and dissatisfied with this mascara:(

    No, I do not recommend this product.

    Hi there! Thank you for reaching out about our Colossal Bubble Waterproof Mascara. We are truly sorry to hear that the Colossal Bubble Waterproof Mascara did not provide the bold, defined look you've come to expect from our products. We understand how frustrating it is when a formula feels too wet or results in clumping, especially when you have naturally long lashes to showcase. Your feedback regarding the application and "stubby" effect is incredibly valuable to our development team.

    Terrible

    8 months ago
    In all fairness in the last few years I've noticed an extreme decline in the effectiveness of mascara in general. Not sure what happened to y'all's formula but this just isn't it. It leaves lashes clumped up like the mascara is 5 years old or something. It should have a consistency that allows you to apply it evenly and smoothly.

    Ugh, that is a total New York nightmare! There is nothing worse than thinking you've got "waterproof" protection, only to look in the mirror and see those dreaded "mascara stamps" all over your eyelids just from a normal day out. At Maybelline, we want your lashes to be bold and bulletproof, not a smudgy mess that requires a return trip to the store. If a formula can't even handle a little "normal wear" without migrating, it’s definitely not keeping up with the hustle!

    Ugh, that is a total "clump catastrophe"! At Maybelline, we want your lashes to look iconic and fanned-out, not like a caked-on mess that’s "hustling" you into buying more product. It sounds like the wiper inside the tube isn't doing its job to clean off the brush, leaving you with way too much formula and a "horrible" heavy finish. No one has time for lashes that look caked together when they're trying to take on the city!

    Lashes

    This mascara is easy to use and I use it daily. I have short thin lashes and this mascara makes my lashes stand out. The formula is great and doesn’t smudge on me. I have sensitive eyes and they tear up easily. I like that the brush is plush and I can get into my hair. The color is black and looks great - no flaking.

    Strong waterproof hold with great volume—just watc

    a year ago
    I was pleasantly surprised by how well this mascara held up throughout the day. The waterproof formula truly delivers—it stayed put even in humidity and through long wear without smudging. It gives great volume and lift, though I did notice it can get slightly clumpy if you apply too many layers. Removing it takes a bit more effort, but that’s expected with waterproof mascaras. Overall, it adds bold definition and lasting power that makes it worth trying.

    Not for me

    a year ago
    Unfortunately, the mascara didn’t suit me. She has an uncomfortable brush, which makes her eyelashes stick together. Instead of the promised volume, I get lumps and the «spider legs» effect. It doesn’t hold up very well either - it crumbles by the end of the day. Maybe someone will like it, but for me personally, the purchase was unsuccessful. The only plus is that it's waterproofing.

    So good!

    I’ve been using the Maybelline Colossal Mascara and it definitely lives up to its name! The big brush coats every lash and gives instant volume without clumping. I love how it lifts and separates, making my lashes look full and bold with just one coat. It also layers really well if I want extra drama for a night out. The formula lasts all day without smudging or flaking, but still comes off easily with makeup remover. It’s affordable, reliable, and honestly one of the best drugstore mascaras I’ve tried. Perfect for everyday wear or when you want a more dramatic eye look. Highly recommend if you’re looking for big, bold lashes at a great price!

    This waterproof mascara has quickly become a solid part of my routine. The best thing about it is how well it holds up throughout the day. It truly is waterproof—I’ve worn it through rain, long workdays, and even exercise, and it never smudges or flakes. The formula gives my lashes nice length and separation, creating a clean and defined look that feels polished without being over the top. It’s lightweight too, so my lashes don’t feel stiff or weighed down. The only downside is that removal takes a little extra time. Even with a good makeup remover, I need to be patient and gentle to make sure I get it all off. That said, I think it’s worth the tradeoff for the reliable wear and long-lasting finish.

If you can get past the fact that the brush holds on to SO much product that you have to clean it out to even apply without smudging it everywhere then maybe you’ll love it but I just found it to be messy and problematic.
