"I'm currently wearing this mascara, the L'Oreal Telescopic, and it is really good. [...] It lengthens and lifts."

My Go-To Everyday Makeup 💄 (and Skincare Tips You Need to Know!)

"I'm back to the L'Oreal Telescopic Mascara in the gold tube. This is not disappointed at all. I've been using this particular one for a couple of weeks now. It [...] really gives a nice length to the lashes. I mean, it really will give you a nice long skinny lash. It is a drier formula. So, if you happen to get a thick glob of it on the applicator and get it on the lash, then it's going to be like this dried piece of dung stuck to your eyelash."

"This is far and away a top mascara. [...] The L'Oreal Telescopic Mascara. This is really good. Such amazing length. And I'm telling you, 2026 is going to get off to a good start lashwise. I've been loving that combination overlaid on the voluminous base."

"You guys recommended to me [...] the L'Oreal Telescopic Mascara, and a few months ago I tried the L'Oreal Telescopic Lift Mascara and that was a huge disappointment, but on the contrary this is amazing. This has really impressed me. I'm a huge fan of the Maybelline Colossal Mascara and this rivals that. It really is lengthening and gives a nice long lash. The wand is really easy to use. [...] It's got a few different combs on the different sides that help with lengthening and then separating."

"The L'Oreal Telescopic Mascara [...] has become like a drugstore mascara favorite because this is really good for those long spidery lashes. [...] It's kind of all in what you want, but I have really really liked this a lot."

"I tried the L'Oreal Paris Telescopic Lift mascara and it was so disappointing, and you guys were like no no no you need to try the OG Telescopic Mascara. So I tried it out, first impression this morning, I am loving it."

"Last weekend I purchased the L'Oreal Paris Telescopic Mascara. [...] I had not been that impressed honestly, I've just kind of found it a bit underwhelming, it's not that great. I much prefer [...] the Milani lash extensions one."

"I'm going in with L'Oreal Telescopic. Now this is a waterproof mascara, which isn't necessary for this look. I could use a regular mascara, but to be honest all of my drugstore mascaras are waterproof for some reason, so use what works for you."

"Now we're going to go in with the L'Oreal Telescopic Mascara on the top and bottom lashes and I'm going to do a few layers of this because I like extra volume on my lashes too even when it's an everyday type of a look."

The BEST Makeup & Skincare from August 2024!

"This is another one, the L'Oreal Telescopic Mascara. I don't know if I've ever put this in a favorites video, but this is so good. I don't know why I remembered it not giving volume, but it does, it really, really does. The volume that it gives is actually really great, and I really like the applicator. It's just been shocking to see how much I've been using this. I felt head over heels in love with this."

"I also know a lot of people love the L'Oreal Telescopic. For me that's a little too lightweight, but if you're wanting something that's really natural looking and not super bold, I think the L'Oreal Telescopic is great."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Sunscreen filters

Sun protection is the best evidenced way to slow visible ageing, and the filters are what does the work. Mineral and chemical filters both protect when a product is applied thickly enough and often enough, which is where most people fall short rather than on the choice of filter.

Humectants and emollients

Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.
