1. Maybelline The Colossal Volum’ Express
One of the first mascaras in India and it’s still going strong. The Colossal mascara is definitely one of the most popular mascaras around.

- It is comparatively costlier than the other two.

4. Maybelline New York Lash Sensational Mascara
This mascara features a curved elastomer brush to spread lashes and ensures full, fanned-out look, enhanced volume and defined lash lines in a single sweep. Its wand captures lashes from root to tip to give layers of denser, more voluminous lashes.
The Pros:
- It has ten layers of bristles which curves the inner lashes, volumizes and lengthens them.

Our Verdict: It’s a tough choice between the Colossal mascara and the Falsies one. I love how thick my lashes look after a coat of the Falsies mascara, but I think the Colossal mascara is amazing for daily wear. The brush glides over your lashes really easily and provides just the right amount of volume for any occasion, even work. It’s great value for money.
