COVERGIRL Clump Crusher Waterproof Mascara delivers volumizing performance with a distinctive double-sided brush — one side for volume, the other for definition. The waterproof formula claims 20X more volume and resists smudging throughout the day. Best suited for those seeking dramatic buildable fullness at an accessible drugstore price point. The brush design helps minimize clumping, though application requires a light hand. Wear time is solid, though some users report minor smudging by evening on very oily lids.
