Description

L’Oreal Paris' Iconic Telescopic Original Washable Mascara delivers extreme length and ultimate definition for up to 70% longer lashes and up to 24 HR wear. The specially designed Precision Brush catches every lash for instant separation. This lightweight formula coats lashes in one stroke for clump-free, smudge-resistant, and flake-resistant results. Fragrance-free. Ophthalmologist-tested. Suitable for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers.

Place the brush at the base of lashes and gently sweep up to tip. Pair with L’Oreal Paris Telescopic Precision Long Lasting Liquid Eyeliner for dramatic definition. Removes easily with makeup remover.

Never pump your mascara wand, as this adds air to the mascara container, which will make your mascara dry out faster.

    I love the product, but I recently bought the same Telescopic mascara in the black container in carbon black, which I’ve been using for a while. Previously, it was easy to wash off, but now I’m finding it harder to remove. Has something changed?

    I have coarse, short and straight eyelashes. It’s near impossible for them to look decent but after years of trying different products I’ve finally nailed down my fave eyelash curler (tweezerman) and my fave mascara which is this one in waterproof. If you have straight eyelashes you need a good curler and waterproof mascara to hold a curl. It’s very lengthening and a nice clean eyelash look. Just need a good oil-based makeup remover to remove it.

    Was so excited to get this mascara but after the 1st I used I couldn’t get the wand back in the tube. I tried everything but it wouldn’t slide back in for me to finish my eyes. And it was the only mascara I had with at the hotel for a wedding I was attending. So very disappointed in this product!!

    Every time I wear this mascara people complement my lashes. Makes them look long and separated. Only downside to this is that it does smudge a lot when it gets wet. Even the waterproof mascara

    I purchased the telescopic lift mascara. It stated on the package that you could remove it with soap and water. So I used it and guess what you can not remove it with soap and water. I use your products but never again.
    1 reply from Consumer Care Center team - 2 months ago
    Hello Skeet. We are sorry to hear about your confusion about removing the Telescopic Lift Waterproof Mascara. This is not the experience we want our consumers to have. The directions for removing this mascara should read 'For waterproof shade, saturate a cotton pad with micellar cleansing water. Hold the pad over closed eyes for a few seconds then gently wipe to remove.' https://www.lorealparisusa.com/makeup/eye/mascara/telescopic-lift-washable-makeup-mascara-waterproof

    I’m not exaggerating when i say my lashes stayed up ALL day from morning to night. This mascara makes your lashes look so so long. Make sure to remove it carefully, i use a cleansing balm because since it’s waterproof, it’s harder for it to come out. This mascara + lash serum, your lashes are gonna look amazing!

    New applicator brush (and formula?)

    This has been my favorite mascara for years and years. The applicator brush used to be curved and I think the formula has been changed. It is not the same. It doesn’t lift and lengthen without clumps like it used to. It used to be fabulous and now it’s not. I’m so disappointed and have to find a new mascara.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Used this mascara for year and loved it. The length was amazing and it didn’t clump. However they had to have changed their formula. The last two time I’ve purchased it, I thought I accidentally got water proof, but I didn’t. The mascara is now extremely clumpy and doesn’t come off like it used to. The length is nothing like it used to be. Time to find a new product because this is awful now.

    Bad Packaging

    Syd22 - 2 months ago
    originally posted on lorealparisusa.com
    This is my favorite mascara and the only one to keep a curl, but I hate the packaging. The blue foil on the last 2 bottles I bought has rubbed off and got onto all my other makeup. This has caused me to get little blue specks all over my face every time I apply makeup. It’s pretty much ruined everything in my makeup bag as I have tried to clean everything and still end up with blue specks all over. Would love this mascara if it didn’t have the blue foil

    Hello Syd22. There! Thank you so much for sharing your experience with foil coating on the tube of Telescopic Original Waterproof Lengthening Mascara.

    I’ve used this product religiously for 10+ years, most recent purchase does not wash off, it applies very thick and clumps, additionally it does not dry. I’m at a loss, this was my go to for some many years. The only thing I can think of is a recent formula change.
