I’ve tried a lot of mascaras over the years, but the e.l.f. Cosmetics Big Mood Waterproof Mascara genuinely stands out as an easy 5-star product for me. From the first use, the formula impressed me—it builds really nicely without clumping, so you can go for a natural lifted look or layer it up for something more dramatic. The brush is big but surprisingly easy to control, and it grabs even the tiniest lashes, giving a fuller, more defined look in just a couple of coats. What really sold me is the waterproof formula. It holds up incredibly well through a long day—no smudging, no flaking, even in humidity or if you get a bit teary-eyed. At the same time, it doesn’t feel stiff or crunchy on the lashes, which is a big plus compared to other waterproof mascaras I’ve tried. It also removes easier than expected for a waterproof product, especially with a good cleansing balm or oil cleanser, so you’re not left scrubbing at your lashes. Overall, it gives that bold, lifted “big lash” effect without the luxury price tag. For everyday wear or a night out, it just performs reliably every time. Definitely one I keep reaching for.

Amazing, love this product and have bought this more than 3 times! Affordable and keeps my lashes long and thick. The brush is thick and I love how it is made. The product itself isn’t too runny nor too thick!

If you can’t find a good mascara that’s waterproof not clumpy and good ingredients then I recommend the Big mood mega volume and lifting waterproof mascara from elf it’s not only waterproof but it looks really good on lashes and makes them pop.
