CoverGirl Lash Blast Volume Waterproof is a volumizing mascara with a brush designed to build dramatic fullness without heavy clumping. The waterproof, smudge-proof formula delivers solid wear-time through a full day, resisting flaking on most lid types. The wand applies evenly and builds volume progressively with multiple coats. Best for those prioritizing volume and durability at a drugstore price point. Common feedback notes it can feel slightly heavy if over-applied, and removal requires makeup remover due to waterproof formula.
