Flakey
I swear by the telescopic in the gold tube, I’ve been using it for years. Unfortunately my store was sold out of the gold tube, so I tried the carbon black instead. The length is great, BUT it is FLAKEY! I look like a raccoon a couple hours after applying. I’ve never had this issue with the golden tube version.

I haven’t found another mascara that I like as much! Truly will not come off if you cry and makes lashes long and thick!

Made my lashes appear long! I’m using a lash serum to grow my lashes, but after applying a couple coats of mascara it helped a lot with the length! Using the color Black Brown

Obsessed
Have been using this mascara for years and I refuse to use anything else! It makes my eyelashes so long but never clumpy. Doesn’t really transfer either. Definitely recommend!

EXTREMELY difficult to remove
Tough I loved how it looked when it was applied & it looked great...then came the disappointments. First note this is waterproof mascara. I was outside in the wind and I ended up looking like a raccoon. So on that note so much for waterproof in wind conditions??? I don't understand this? My 2nd, is the biggy. It was noted this mascara to be easy to remove from your lashes. This is NOT easy to remove at ALL! Even after the wind made me look l like a raccoon :/ I used eye makeup remover pads and had to scrub & scrub & scrub and it still wood not come off completely. This meant treating my eyelashes harshly & my delicate eye area as well. Not what anyone desires. Then after failing to get off after multiple attempts with the eye make up remover , I washed & rubbed with soap and water causing much harsher removal than anyone should be doing to clean their eye lashes or eye area making pulling and etc. I had to spend so much time & effort trying to remove this mascara it was unbelievable! I can't imagine what shape my eye lashes & eye tissue area would end up if I continued to use daily just trying to remove in such a harsh manner. Very disappointing. I have used Loreal products for Many many years and never had so much trouble removing waterproof mascara before in Loreal or other brands as well. You should not have to aggressively scrub you lashes or eye area ever its not good for them.

Horrible Mascara
I wish I had read the reviews for this before wasting $12 on it! It is the worst mascara I’ve ever used- I may as well not use any! It barely goes on, the wand is so floppy that I doubt it will last very long… And the little bit of mascara I was able to put on my lashes is glued on… I don’t know why it isn’t available for a return- maybe because no one keeps it! Do not buy this!

Hello Sarah! Thank you for sharing your feedback on the Telescopic Original Lengthening Mascara, as we truly value hearing your experience with our iconic formulas. This lengthening mascara is designed with a patented flexible precision brush for up to 60% longer-looking lashes, and a helpful tip for the best results is to apply a thin layer with the flat side of the wand and then use the comb side to separate and define each lash. We will certainly pass your interest in more impactful mascara performance along to our product development team as we continue to refine our collection.

Hello maddie! We appreciate you reaching out to us about Telescopic Original Lengthening Mascara. While we have recently updated the packaging to give this classic favorite a more modern look, the iconic formula that provides the dramatic lengthening effect you love remains the same. The signature precision brush is still designed to separate and coat each individual lash for a clean, elongated finish without clumping, though we understand that updates to the aesthetic of a product can feel like a significant change. To achieve the best results with the flexible wand, we recommend using the flat side of the brush to apply the mascara at the base of your lashes and then turning it to use the comb side to stretch the product to the tips. We suggest contacting the retailer where the purchase was made to inquire about their specific return or exchange policy for used cosmetic items.

Always gives me super clumpy lashes. Its too hard to get the bristles postioned on the lashes just right because there are only a few small rows and the mascara does not build well.

Hi there! Thank you for reaching out about our L'Oreal Paris Telescopic Original Lengthening Mascara. We are sorry to hear that you’ve had a frustrating experience with our Telescopic Original Lengthening Mascara. The Telescopic brush is uniquely designed with a Precision Multi-Comb that features a flat side and a comb side, which can take a moment to master. For the best results and to avoid clumping, we recommend these steps: Use the flat side of the brush first to apply the mascara to the base of your lashes to add volume. Rotate the brush to the comb side to stretch and separate each lash from root to tip. Avoid "pumping" the wand in the tube, as this adds excess air and can lead to faster drying and clumping. Because this formula is designed for extreme length rather than heavy volume, it works best when applied in thin, precise layers. We truly appreciate your feedback on the brush design and buildability, as it helps us continue to improve the experience for all our users.

Hello Sarah! Thank you for sharing your feedback regarding your experience with our Telescopic Original Lengthening Mascara. We are sincerely sorry to hear that the formula smudged so quickly, as this mascara is specifically designed to provide a clean, defined, and long-wearing lash look that lasts throughout the day. A helpful tip to prevent smearing and ensure your mascara stays perfectly in place is to apply it to completely dry lashes and avoid applying heavy creams or oils directly to the eye area immediately before your makeup routine. We truly appreciate your honest review and for letting us know how this product performed for you.

There is no making this mascara look good. It clumps, the brush is horrible, possibly a good formula but still wouldn’t recommend
1 reply from L'OrealParisProductExpert team - 2 months ago
Hello Parris! Thank you for sharing your feedback regarding our Telescopic Original Lengthening Mascara. We are sorry to hear that the precision-tip brush and the clumping were so disappointing for your lash routine, as we strive to provide high-quality and reliable mascaras with a long-lasting, lengthened finish. Because this formula is specifically designed to deliver dramatic lengthening and separation, it requires a very precise and slow application to prevent any excess product buildup on the lashes. To help the mascara glide on more smoothly and achieve a more defined look, we recommend wiggling the wand slowly at the very base of your lashes before sweeping it upward in a steady motion. We truly appreciate your honest review!
