The best!!!
The holy grail. The brush separates each lash. No clumps. It’s such a clean and precise application. I will say when you first open a new tube it can sometimes have a little too much product on the brush but after a week or 2 it’s the perfect amount!

Garbage
It’s horrible just horrible it does not make lashes long or lush it dries up no multiple coats or it clumps so bad
1 reply from L'OrealParisProductExpert team - 1 month ago
Hello Carrie! We are so sorry to hear that our Telescopic Mascara did not deliver the long, beautifully defined lashes you were hoping for and that you experienced clumping. This formula is designed with a patented precision brush to intensely lengthen and separate lashes, but because the wand deposits a very rich, quick-drying formula, applying multiple coats once it has dried can definitely cause clumping. To get the best results, we suggest using the flat side of the brush to apply the mascara from root to tip, and then immediately rotating the brush to use the comb-like bristles to sweep through and separate your lashes while the formula is still wet. We also recommend avoiding letting the mascara dry between coats so you can build that gorgeous length smoothly and seamlessly.

perfect
I will never wear another mascara! I got shade brown and I love it so much it's the perfect color. it's tubing which makes it soooo easy to come off. The wand of the mascara is skinny which for some reason makes my lashes look longer... haha it's amazing!

Used to be great, but now it smears so badly
This has been my go-to for years, but the formula has definitely changed recently. With the last couple tubes, it runs and smears under my eyes really badly within a couple hours. I never had that issue before. I tried switching to the waterproof version, but that one has the opposite problem -- it's so difficult to get off, even with lots of makeup remover, that I end up having to either leave some of it on or risk ripping out lashes trying to get it all off. The non-waterproof formula comes off much better (obviously), and it never used to run, so it was perfect. But now it smears so badly I can't even get through half a workday without getting raccoon eyes. I can see that tons of people have this same complaint. Time to listen, L'Oreal.

New formula is a clumpy mess.
Had been my favorite for years. They reformulated and it’s a clumpy mess. Please change it back! I’m in the hunt for a new mascara.

This is the best mascara. I have been using it for a long time. It goes on easy and stays on all day and is easy to wash off.

Waterproof Telescopic is Great for Bottom Lashes
Great for your bottom lashes so that it doesn’t smear. I use the regular telescopic for my top lashes and the waterproof one for my bottom. The waterproof is a little drying but prevents my eyes from becoming raccoon eyes so it works out. My lashes and eyes remain beautiful all day long, even in the summertime.

LOVE
I have been searching for a mascara I love for a few weeks, my daughter had this so I just tried it. I love it. I would have never picked out. Do not let the size of the brush fool you. Somehow this makes my lashes fuller and longer and it doesn’t burn my eyes or flake. I choose it over my high even mascara.

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.

Hi there, Ashley! We're sorry to hear that the Carbon Black formula is flaking, as we aim for all our Telescopic mascaras to provide a clean, smudge-proof finish. Since you've had such great success with the Original gold tube, it's possible that the intense pigments in the Carbon Black version interact differently with your skin's natural oils, so we recommend returning to your favorite gold tube for that reliable, all-day wear you love.

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!
