BIG SHOT

MaybellineGlobal DigitalGirl-Boss eraGotham

Lash like a boss.

The Colossal Big Shot took Maybelline's Colossal Mascara and gave it a new identity: bigger volume, bigger presence, the confidence to take the front of the room. The "Girl Boss" era was in full swing — beauty leaning into power, ambition, taking charge. This reinvention matched that energy. The formula delivered lashes as strong as the person wearing them.

The campaign captured the go-getter mindset: direct eye contact, fearless expressions, impact in a single glance. The updated formula amplified volume in fewer strokes — the idea being lashes that don't wait for permission to be big.
