Bold Mascara Launches

Milk Makeup’s KUSH Big Hit Volumizing Mascara is Weightless and Clump-Free

Milk Makeup just launched the 'KUSH Big Hit Volumizing Mascara,' designed to deliver the brand’s highest volume yet with a clean, vegan, and cruelty-free formula. Building on the cult-favorite original 'KUSH Mascara,' 'Big Hit' introduces the 'Big Hit Brush' -- a tapered tip for defining inner corners and lower lashes, plus fluffy criss-cross bristles that catch and coat every lash for maximum impact.

Clinically proven, 100% of users in a consumer study said lashes appeared longer and fuller, with buildable volume that lasted up to 12 hours. The formula is weightless, clump-free, smudge-proof, and enriched with conditioning ingredients like hemp seed oil, murumuru seed butter, and vegan waxes to nourish and strengthen lashes. Cloud Fiber Tech™ adds light-as-air volume, while 100% natural black pigment ensures rich payoff.

Available from September 5, 2025, the mascara comes in full size ($39/8G) and mini ($21/4G) on Sephora.ca and in Sephora stores.

By upgrading a fan-favorite with better performance, cleaner ingredients, and clinical validation, Milk Makeup strengthens its competitive position in the premium mascara category. The launch highlights consumer demand for high-performance products that merge bold beauty with clean, sustainable formulations, a segment expected to drive continued growth.
