A lot of lengthening formulas are super wet, so they give you that really defined look, but they can easily clump up or feel crunchy and spidery. Not this one. The best thing about it is I can layer it up as much as I please—always five or more coats—without things getting clumpy. It’s rare to find length, volume, and definition in one product, but this one really delivers on all front. For less than the cost of a Aperol Spritz, I truly can’t complain. Loreal telescopic black brown The mascara promises to lengthen and lift lashes with a 25-degree curl effect which lasts an impressive 36 hours. The brush also features a double bristle, designed to grab and coat each lash individually to avoid the dreaded clump.

L'Oreal Paris presents Telescopic Original Mascara enhances your lashes with intense length and unique lash by lash separation. The flat side of the patented flexible Precision Brush lengthens lashes up to 60%, while the comb side of the brush precisely separates lashes for a clump-free result. Fragrance-free. Ophthalmologist-tested and allergy-tested. Suitable for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers. I Tried The New L’Oreal Telescopic Mascara & I’m Not Impressed I didn’t try it before I gave it a shot on TikTok. I wanted this to be a totally blind review. I followed the directions and applied the mascara to my lashes with the flat side and “lifted” them by brushing through with the bristles. And WOW. I didn’t expect my lashes to look so long. It was a little messy when I applied it to my small lower lashes so just be careful there.

First another look at my favorites the L’Oreal Voluminous Lash Paradise Primer and Waterproof Mascara. The primer has a light pink tint which I find helpful so you can actually see that you’ve coated your lashes evenly. I apply the mascara on top when the primer is still wet for the best results. This has been the best formula for my straight lashes. It holds the curl and does not smudge while adding volume and length. It does take a good remover to take off at the end of the day but I don’t mind the extra work if it means I don’t have racoon eyes by afternoon! CoverGirl Lash Blast Clean Volume Mascara My biggest gripe is that I personally don’t have the time or inclination to make sure I’m using the ‘correct’ side first. I like a mascara wand that’s the same all the way around so whichever way you put it on you’re getting the same effect. However, for those that are more into their lashes than I am, that may not seem like much of a big deal.

We love Stila’s Magnum XXX mascara, which previously won a 2020 SELF Healthy Beauty Award for overall best mascara. Our testers found that the mascara’s spacious wand and bristles made it easy to separate lashes while boosting overall volume. A solution to your wardrobe problems… Imagine my surprise then when I finally downloaded TikTok a few weeks ago (I know, I’m late) and kept seeing Telescopic pop up over and over again. I mean, I know the algorithm is good, but clearly this was something bigger. A couple hours down the rabbit hole later, and I found that the hashtag #lorealtelescopic has over five million views. It is truly impossible to scroll the app without seeing girls singing about, reviewing, or swiping on the $11 mascara that gives you the longest lashes I’ve ever seen.
