Nice but not perfect
I absolutely love the waterproof version of this but do not like to wear waterproof on a frequent basis, however this one doesn’t quite wear as well as the waterproof even on a work from home day:

Not it, for a Natural Look
Covers the lashes amazingly, but clumps them together too. Doesn’t suit the natural look, that I prefer.

Hello Cyn! We appreciate your feedback and love that you enjoy the dramatic coverage of our iconic Telescopic Mascara, though we hear your concern regarding lash clumping when aiming for a soft, natural look. Because the precision brush is designed with flat sides to deposit a high amount of lengthening formula right at the lash line, it can deposit more mascara than desired if you prefer subtle definition. A great pro tip to achieve a beautifully separated, natural look is to wipe any excess formula off the comb onto a tissue before application, then use the comb's fine teeth to sweep upward through your lashes to instantly lengthen and separate every single hair without clumping.

GARBAGE
This is a horrible mascara. If you are one of the girls who have lashes who don't hold up when curl them and add mascara then DO NOT BUY THIS. It gets clumpy and is heavy on the lashes. It is very wet and drys slow so I can't add another layer . But if you add another layer it's too dry and won't look good. I DO NOT recommend this product.

Extensionist to the max!
I am 55 years old and I’ve used a lot of high end mascara brands until I today. I tried telescopic extensionist and I will never use another mascara again! Wow! My eye lashes came to life! No more lash extensions I don’t need them with this product! Well done L’Oréal

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.
