What the gurus are saying

The spidery, lengthened lash effect divides reviewers: most gurus praise the formula for being clean and non-goopy, with a dual-sided brush that lifts and separates well, though the results lean toward long and skinny rather than volumised. One expert found it disappointing on a second try, so results may vary. Those drawn to defined length over bulk may want to give it a test first.

"I'm back on the L'Oreal Telescopic Lift. Far and away one of the better mascaras. A more of a spidery lash and it's a really nice formula. It's not messy. It's not goopy. And it's a reasonable price. It's a drugstore mascara."

"I've used it before, it really lengthens and gives kind of long skinny lashes, as opposed to the Colossal which lengthens and gives some girth to the lashes."

APRIL 2023 SKIN CARE FAVORITES & FAILS @DrDrayzday
"The L'Oreal Paris Telescopic Lift Mascara has been a dud for me, I will not recommend it to anyone and I would definitely not repurchase it. In my opinion this did not give a dramatic lash, it didn't have a dramatic lengthening effect, it gets very dry and flaky quite easily, it doesn't maintain the length that it does offer, and the length it does offer isn't that dramatic. This was a complete fail for me, and the wand is actually a little bit intimidating, I never felt like I got used to using it."
*Vlog* TRYING LOREAL PARIS TELESCOPIC LIFT MASCARA @DrDrayzday​
"I'm trying the L'Oreal Paris Telescopic Lift Mascara, which I purchased at the drugstore. It got a lot of hype on social media, and this is not sponsored. The side hook comb really does bring in a little something extra and builds upon that base, but don't get too close to the root with the side hook because it makes it a little clumpy. Is it blowing my mind? No, not at all. It doesn't give the bold lash that I usually like, but it's nice. I don't think it's the best on first impression, but I never completely judge a mascara on the first use. My third use is usually when I get a good sense of how it's actually going to go."

"I'm using the L'Oreal Telescopic Lift Lengthening Mascara just to give a little bit more definition to my lower lash line."

"If it doesn't give you telescopic lift and length to your lashes—these are probably the longest, most feathery and pretty looking lashes that I've had on in a while. This lasted all day. It isn't waterproof, but it didn't come off until I took it off and then it was really easy to remove. It gives you a really nice feathery, almost like wearing a false lash kind of look."

"The mascara actually grew on me throughout the day. It definitely gave me volume and length and my lashes look nice and it has stayed on all day, so that is a good mascara. It checks the boxes."

"Look how long and lengthened my lashes. This looks like false lashes. The wand is basically a two-step brush. I'm taking the curved side and I'm going root to tip and coating the lashes, and then once you've done that you flip the brush to the side and you use the hook comb to basically separate. I'm gonna add a second coat, look at the length. I am speechless and I'm not sure anyone's gonna ever be able to compete with this mascara."
