This mascara has garnered a mix of admiration and frustration from guests. Many appreciate its ability to lengthen and separate lashes, making them look fuller and more defined. However, concerns have been raised about the recent formula changes, which some feel have led to clumping and difficulty in removal. The wand design is often praised for its precision, while the packaging has received criticism for flaking. Overall, it remains a popular choice for those seeking a reliable mascara.

Recomended!
My daughter loves this mascara because it doesn’t leave clumps, her eyelashes look long, full and beautiful. It’s easy to remove with make up remover, it lasts all day and it doesn’t leave residue. The only complaint is that it dries really quickly but other than that it does a fantastic job.

Don't like the brush
I bought this for the first time because it's a safe, non toxic product, but, do not care for the applicator brush. Use the flat side to apply and the brush to separate... It goes on clumpy and the brush just adds to the mess. I tried wiping some product off the brush but still and up with clumpy eyelashes.

Bring Back the Original
I’ve been using L'Oréal mascara for over 30 years. My mom started me on the Voluminous line when I was 16. I’ve been loyal ever since. When L'Oréal Telescopic Mascara launched, it became my absolute favorite. It lengthened, lifted, and separated my lashes better than anything else. I no longer found myself reaching for a safety pin to separate my lashes. I recommended it to everyone. Unfortunately, something has changed. The wand now feels flimsy and doesn’t insert smoothly into the tube. In addition the formula is not the same. It clumps and flakes throughout the day, which never used to happen. I’ve tried many other mascaras over the years, but I always came back to this one. My tried and true favorite. Well until now. Please consider bringing back the original wand and formula. It was perfect, and those of us who have loved it for decades can absolutely tell the difference.

Definitely worth the hype!
This mascara is really good!! The length is insane and it lasts all day. I also like the wand it’s easier for my personally to work with rather that a fat or curved wand I do layer it with a bit of another mascara to get some volume because it only gives length but I have no complaints. I would say it’s easy to remove just take a nice hot shower and take it off at the end when it’s loosened up. The only thing I don’t like is that I waited to long to try it! The girlies werent lying about this one

This mascara definitely lifts and lengthens my lashes, however the bristles are too short and cause significant clumping and it’s hard to remove even with makeup remover.

Great mascara!
I saw someone with telescope mascara on and I liked the way it looked. I went and purchased my own and I will never use another brand of mascara in my life.

Length is so GOOD
I enjoy using this mascara every day due to its lenghting and darkening of my eyelashes, it makes my lashes so long!!

No matter how many times I go over my eyes with makeup remover, this stuff does not come off. Permanent raccoon eyes.

My favorite mascara, a great lengthening mascara! I’ve been using it for years. I’ve tried more expensive and less expensive brands and always come back to L’Oréal

Great concept but poor product
Really wanted to like this because the packaging is so cute it’s like an actual telescope. But the brush is so tiny and when applying my lashes were lengthened but instantly clumpy even after only 1 pass. Also instantly transferred so I wouldn’t recommend

Hi there! Thank you for reaching out about our L'Oreal Paris Telescopic Original Lengthening Mascara. We really wanted you to love it, too! While we’re glad the packaging caught your eye, it’s disappointing to hear the precision brush led to clumping and transfer rather than the clean length we intended. Your feedback on the formula and application is incredibly helpful, and we’ll be sharing these details with our product team. Thank you for your honesty and for giving it a try!

To thick
I loved my first tube! Was so excited to get another. I don’t know if something changed or what but I hate it now. It goes on so thick and clumps my lashes so bad. It’s such a fight and I kept my old wand to my other tube just incase it was the wand but no. I’m very disappointed

Hello! We truly value your support and are so sorry to hear that your experience with your second tube of Telescopic Original Mascara has been so disappointing. It is never our intention for a favorite product to feel like a fight to apply, and we have shared your specific feedback regarding the thick and clumpy application directly with our product development team. While we always strive to maintain the high-quality integrity of our original formulas, we understand how frustrating it is when the results aren't what you expect! To help achieve that signature lash-by-lash separation, we suggest ensuring the brush is wiped of any excess product before application. We hope you find your next favorite lash look with L'Oréal Paris!

Buy it, try it, you'll love it!
I spent years buying an expensive mascara at a department store before finding little tube of mascara magic! This works every bit as good as the $34 mascara I used to buy! Lengthens my lashes and doesn't flake! The hype is real with this one!
