Hit and miss for me

I’m not completely sold on the formula of this mascara. I have to admit, it does do as the description says, it’s long lasting and doesn’t flake off which is great! However I found the mascara didn’t make my lashes look that amazing, and didn’t feel make them dramatically different from their natural state. I found the formula a little dry and would have loved for the mascara to provide a bit more length. Overall I think this mascara is an okay one for day to day “natural” makeup, however if you’re wanting a dramatic affect than I don’t think this is the right one!

Tips: Because this is waterproof make sure you have a decent makeup remover! I found that oil based worked through best for me

Seriously surprised by how this preformed

This mascara genuinely surprised me, I have gone through so many high end mascaras ranging from too faced, Dior and benefit and in my opinion this has preformed just as well if not better then most of them.

Brush- the brush is super large but unlike most large brushed mascaras it goes on without clumping your lashes together, you get really good separation. The only downside is it does make it hard to get the corner lashes me as there on the curlier side

How it wears- This mascara absolutely stands up to its long wearing name, and will stay on all day including when the wearing decides to switch up on you. In terms of transfer I did get a little on the lower lash line however this was after wearing it for about 8 hours.

The mascara drys down quickly and does not have any strong smell, it’s comfortable to wear and doesn’t feel chunky.

Tips: You absolutely need a good quality makeup remover as this does really stay on. If you don’t remove it completely you will wake up with panda eyes

Big and bold

Great mascara. The wand is a bit bigger than I’m used to, so just need to change the technique a wee bit. The formula is great though, stays on for hours, but is still easy to take off. Great for a night out where you need your makeup to last for hours!

Not so Colossal.

The packaging is simple and similar to other mascara’s but works well for the Maybelline brand and your eyes are draw to the gold Colossal wording on the front. The brush is easy to hold and the bristles evenly spaced out. The consistency is nice not dry but not runny either. The pigment is very black. The mascara definitely doesn’t clump with only a few layers but you need more for any noticeable difference in volume and it doesn’t lift your lashes which is a problem if your lashes are dead straight like mine. I never leave my mascara on for longer then 12 hours so the 36 hour claim I can’t prove but it didn’t smudge during the time I worn it.

This was an interesting mascara I really like the brush and consistency of the formula but if I was going to be honest I would probably not repurchase it again as I needed so many layers to get a descent look which did make it harder to get off then other waterproof mascara I have used.

Tips: Take care when removing, use good eye make up remover.

Maybelline Colossal Up To 36H Waterproof Mascara

The packaging was basic, and the wording clear and bold. The tube is a nice size and the wand basic compared to other mascaras that I have used. The “product” itself is a great consistency, nice and thick. When I applied it did not smudge and applied smoothly on my lashes. The colour is an intense black. The mascara is VERY waterproof, as I went to tje gym a couple of times after work and it did not run or anything, was very impressed with that. It also so waterproof that washing it off is a mission that is how waterproof it is and definitely long wearing. Compared to for example the Better then Sex mascara it does not give that effect of longer lashes. A great mascara either way for maybe a cheaper alternative to the more expensive mascaras put there. For a more intense look I apply 2 coats.

Will definitely get again.

Tips: I would when cleaning recommend using wipes to get the product off completely.

Genuinely lasts for 36 hours!

If you're looking for an extremely long lasting mascara or one that doesn't run from water, this is definitely the mascara for you. Even when using an oil based makeup remover and having a warm shower, this mascara was still wasn't completely removed from my lashes. I didn't wear makeup for three days at one point and still could see it on my lashes, even after multiple showers!

The brush on this mascara wasn't my favourite. I had to use a lot of pressure to get the product through my lashes. Once the product was on I did like the appearance. The product is very black and pigmented. It didn't clump or streak and did coat every part of my lashes.

I didn't get the length that I get from some other mascaras with this product, however I did get volume. Overall, I did enjoy this mascara and would purchase it again. If you're looking for a long lasting mascara definitely give this one a try.

It's a Yes from me

Love the bright color on the bottle, When I put it on I loved the fact it went on smoothly, didnt clump and didnt end up all over my eyes. At first I thought gosh no as it really felt like my eyelids were sticking together even tho they looked great. But after 5 min I completely forgot I was wearing it and only when I saw my reflection was reminded by my fab looking lashes. Waterproof most definitely, multiple showers, random downpours and the cry test all passed with no smudging or running at all. was it 36hrs hmm not sure they were as bright and defined by then but atleast 24. Overall I'm a fan and would definitely buy it again. Loved that it didnt make my eyes water from being sensitive to it, no panda eyes and some great complements

Tips: I added a second coat several hours later for a stronger look

Not the best, but not the worst

I tried this Mascara over the course of a few days. I put it on my bottom lashes as it said it was waterproof so I thought it wouldn't smudge, but I was wrong. Put it on at 8am and by the time I got home and looked in the mirror at 3.30pm I had smudges under my eyes. So for this reason I haven't rated it 5 stars. I dont normally wear a waterproof mascara as I find them a pain to get off. I used my Glow Lab cleansing balm to get it off, which seemed to work well. It seemed to stay quite well on my lashes with no smudging on my eyelids only the bottom(dont normally wear any on the bottom) It was definitely black and lengthened my lashes quite well. Was just the 36h waterproof part that let it down.

Great long-wear mascara!

This mascara definitely lives up to its claims - it's smudgeproof and waterproof and does last up to 36 hours. The design of the brush is great at lengthening lashes, but I think the formula needed to be a little thicker to really allow for volume as well as length. I felt as though because the product was so thin, I needed to apply several coats before I really got the effect I'm after with mascara. It was waterproof and smudgeproof but it wasn't as difficult to remove as I thought it would be, which is a good thing because no one wants to be literally pulling their lashes out trying to remove their mascara! Overall I think it's a really great product, I just would have loved for the formula to be a bit thicker.

Tips: If you're wanting more volume and a darker colour, you'll need to apply a few coats to get that result.

Great staying Power

I'm not one to wear too much make up but with my blonde eye lashes Mascara is something I always wear. Maybelline Colossal Mascara, in my opinion, is everything you want in a Mascara! The lovely big brush provides even product to leave your lashes enhanced and elongated and, even after a few applications, doesn't make the lashes stick together or create clumps of product. I sit at a computer all day and have a bad habit of rubbing my tired eyes and after doing this I wouldn't be left with smudges of Mascara around my eyes or my hands. In regards to its waterproof-ness, it withstood spectating a game of football in torrential rain, without an umbrella, and no running or smudging.
