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.

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.

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

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!

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.

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.
