FormulaVolumizing, long-wearing

COVERGIRL Lash Blast Volume Mascara is a volumizing formula in an accessible drugstore price point. The brush is a traditional spiral wand designed to build bold, full lashes without excessive clumping. The formula is long-wearing and smudge-proof, available in Black Brown for a softer alternative to classic black. It's cruelty-free and washable, making it approachable for daily wear. Community feedback highlights strong volume payoff and good value, though some users report mild midday smudging on oily lids and occasional flaking with heavy application. Best suited for lash-builders seeking drugstore volume without breaking the bank.
