Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Excellent mascara!! I really like this mascara. I wanted a mascara with a thin brush and this is perfect, makes it easy to coat every lash, even lower ones and those in the corner of the eyes. It stays put all day. Only thing is it’s a bit difficult to remove being waterproof.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Bexi90 from Great For Lower Lashes I purchase this for my lower lashes because the brush is great for clinging to small and invisible lashes without giving back smudges. It also has good longevity and is a good price. It's better than the lower lash mascara's that I've bought.

Rated 5 out of 5 by MumofS from Amazing lengths! This is a great lengthening mascara. Really good at defining each separate lash and making them appear longer. The brush makes it easy to apply and it is clump free. Definitely recommended for length and definition.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Zhuss from Lovely mascara I just bought this today because my old mascara was running out and I’ve heard quite a lot of good reviews back in the day so I thought I would try it out. It’s definitely worth the money! It’s waterproof and so light I didn’t feel like I had mascara on even though I put a few layers on. It makes me look like I have fake lashes on and I’m really happy with this product .

Rated 3 out of 5 by Kate from It’s good Lengthens lashes well, and the brush reaches my corners easily. Formulae can be a bit wet at first but once it sets it holds nicely. Good for everyday use if you prefer a defined natural look. One for the make up bag

Rated 5 out of 5 by Eve_G from Good waterproof mascara Usually I’m not a big fan of plastic mascara brushes as I find them to just clump my eyelashes together but this mascara pleasantly surprised me. It doesn’t give great volume but it lengthens the lashes very well. It’ll be going with me on seaside holiday with me.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Joanne from Different wand design This is very different to other mascaras I have tried - it has a very skinny brush. This took a little getting used to, to figure out how to get good lash coverage and lift. Once you figure out the right technique (getting down to the lash roots) it's a good mascara. Nice packaging.

Rated 5 out of 5 by SetA from Super precise and holds well I tried telescopic lengthening waterproof mascara in black, and I’m honestly impressed. The wand is super precise and really separates my lashes without clumping. It adds great length and gives my eyes a more defined look. Plus it holds up well all day without smudging even through humidity, rainy weather and a workout! It takes a bit of effort to remove, but that’s expected with waterproof formula. Overall I am impressed with this mascara and I would recommend it to my friends.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Luscious lips from Amazingly waterproof The original telescopic mascara was one of my favourite mascaras out there so I already had high hopes for this one and it honestly didn’t disappoint.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Super smooth from Perfect for waterproof This mascara works really well as a waterproof. My eyes run in the sun and the mascara keeps on well. It elongates the eyelashes perfectly and doesn’t clump up. I wouldn’t recommend if you’re looking for volume.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Curly girl mummy from Stays put and great length. I have watery eyes and its hard to find a mascara that gives you length and stays put. This does what it says. It stayed on all day and didnt smudge on my bottom lashes, even when dabbing my eyes. It gices really good length too . I do need to use an oily remover, but thats fine.

Buildable length and volume that doesn’t clump,

Rated 3 out of 5 by Joanna from Thin brush for a minimal look The thin brush means the lashes are coated thinly and evenly, although I dont find the thinner mascara wands are easy to use, as I feel more coats are needed. It stays all day and would be a fav product if youre after a minimal lash effect.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Jenny J from Did not like this mascara :( I tested both this mascara and the Paradise Big Deal Mascara at the same time, one on each eye for fairness! There wasn't any shape or lift to my lashes when applying this mascara. After a few hours I washed my face with just water to test the waterproof element. The mascara did not run however with the weight of the water on my face my lashes just flopped even more, with no shape or bounce at all compared with the Big Deal mascara. Unfortunatley, the Paradise Big Deal Waterproof Mascara was definitely the winner rather than the Telescopic Waterproof mascara.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Linzzz from Good wand shape & easy to remove formula The mascara was easy to apply and didn't look clumpy or give a 'spider legs' effect. Just good definition, separation and thickness. The formula was a little flakey for me, but nothing major. It was ok to remove too, sometimes waterproof mascaras can be a nightmare to get off and I end up with sore eyes. This mascara was fine, biphase eye makeup remover or something oil based worked no problem. The tube is a little too long for my preference, it didn't fit in my day to day makeup bag which was a shame. I did like the wand shape, not too large so easy to use on all lashes. All in all, a good mascara though.

Rated 5 out of 5 by lolopops from Lengthened lashes The L'Oréal telescopic mascara really does add length to your lashes with just a few easy strokes. Great wand tool that separates the lashes well to give definition without clumping. I also enjoy the design of the product, looking like a miniature telescope which my nerdy self appreciates.

Rated 5 out of 5 by clokies from Longer natural looking lashes I really enjoyed trying this product. I have asian lashes and really struggle to find mascara that works for me. But this really did help to lengthen my lashes whilst still leaving them looking quite natural which is important to me. Although water proof comes off easily at the end of the day when cleansing

Rated 5 out of 5 by Tinabombina from Mascara with great applicator This mascara is so easy to apply, something I do struggle with as I wear glasses so this longer, thinner brush is ideal for me. The mascara itself goes on smooth, not clumpy, and it did make my lashes look longer.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Reema from Fave mascara now waterproof I’ve tried countless mascaras over the years, and the telescopic is a firm favourite, it really stands out for its lengthening power. From the first coat, my lashes looked noticeably longer and more defined without clumping. The formula is lightweight, which helps keep lashes lifted throughout the day, and the brush is perfectly designed to separate and coat each lash from root to tip. Even after several hours of wear, there was no smudging or flaking—just long, fluttery lashes that held up beautifully. It also layers well if you want extra drama without turning spidery. I’d highly recommend this to anyone looking for a lengthening mascara that delivers clean, noticeable results - and best of all its now in a waterproof formula

Rated 5 out of 5 by Emma89 from Mascara I love L’Oreal mascaras I think they’re the best on the high street, this one gave amazing length to my lashes and because it’s water proof it last all day - I’ve got oily eyelids so often mascara disappears on me

Rated 5 out of 5 by lizardbush from Easy to apply, looks good and lasts all day Firstly I liked that the container looks like a telescope. Once I tried it though my favourite part is the brush which is so slim it makes it easy to reach the smallest lashes in the corners of my eyes without getting mascara on my eyelids. I only needed one coat and found that it lasted all day yet came off easily with my micellar cleanser.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Beth from Not a big fan of this mascara I unfortunately wasn’t a big fan of this mascara! I found it hard to apply and it seemed quite messy compared to other mascaras, ending up more on my eyelids due to the shape of the brush (it may work better for some people but the brush shape just wasn’t for me). It did stay on well though and was waterproof

Rated 5 out of 5 by Samkh from L'Oréal Paris Telescopic Lengthening Mascara I recently tried the L'Oréal Paris Telescopic Lengthening Waterproof Mascara in Black and was genuinely impressed. The formula is lightweight yet long-lasting, holding up beautifully through tears, humidity, and long days. It defines and lengthens my lashes without clumping, and the flexible precision brush reaches even the tiniest corners. I especially love how it separates lashes for a clean, fanned-out look. It takes a little extra effort to remove, as expected with waterproof formulas, but it’s worth it for the smudge-free wear. This mascara has earned a spot in my everyday makeup routine. Highly recommend for length and definition!

Rated 3 out of 5 by Mishka35 from Definitely sticks As a waterproof mascara this is brilliant. I did actually end up crying while wearing this and there wasn’t the slightest hint of running or smudging. As for the lengthening aspect I wasn’t impressed unfortunately. It took several coats to even get a hint of my usual length so I’ll stick to the other waterproof one for now.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Aims1069 from Amazing product Absolutely amazing product. It’s become my go to mascara. It’s completely waterproof I’ve still got bits left in my lashes 4 days later!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by LouLou from Convenient and effective I'm a new fan of the L'Oréal Waterproof Telescopic mascara. Firstly just a note on the design of the tube, it has little ridges on the cap that help with grip and a flared base which means I can safely stand it upright on any surface - bonus for space saving. The applicator has very short, firm but flexible bristles and I've found that these help mak my lashes separate and get a better coat of mascara. A few quick swipes and my lashes look great, long and thick and full black. I've found that the mascara stayed in place all day and into the night without smudging and it also easily removed with the right products at the end of the day.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Amy2385 from Great length The brush is very small on this and was a little difficult to use. Once I’d got a bit of a wiggle action to the brush, it did give great length and a very classy finish, so ideal for weddings and other formal day events or work. I did find during the day I got a bit of transfer to the top of the lid and the lower eye.

Rated 4 out of 5 by qreview from Telescopic Lengthening Waterproof Mascara Black This mascara comes in an iridescent-blue coloured slimline plastic tube. The wand is long and thin with small teeth but carries enough product to coat the lashes. The ‘teeth’ don’t drag through the lashes and are perfect for combing through the lashes to prevent clumping. The texture is creamy and very pigmented and the mascara didn’t dry down to a crispy or crunchy finish, leaving a soft feel to the lashes. It lasted well throughout the day but there was slight flaking of the product onto my under eye area. #ad up-front. I received this product for free to test and review.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Nice sheen from Great lengthening mascara Very good mascara. It separates and lengthens out my lashes wonderfully. It most definitely makes me look like I’ve had a lash lift and tint. Waterproof is great too, but also not impossible to get off like some other waterproof ones.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Jordieslass from Pretty This has a smaller applicator so is a bit easier to work with. It really does make my lashes look longer and thicker.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Just the right nude from Good for lengthy lashes This is good for lengthening my lashes as well as making them waterproof. The more coats I put on make them look like they have more volume as well. This is slightly easier to remove than other waterproof mascaras too which is a bonus for me.

Rated 5 out of 5 by sarahliv21 from Telescopic Mascara I've enjoyed using this mascara. I like that it's waterproof as my eyes do water a bit this time of year with hay fever and it doesn't affect the mascara. It's very lengthening and applies easily, I like the style of the wand which makes the application easy without clumping. It also removes easily without tugging or damaging the eye area

Rated 4 out of 5 by Nicola from Great waterproof mascara The slim, flexible wand makes it easy to reach every lash, even those tiny ones in the corners. It lengthens my lashes significantly without clumping, giving them a defined, fanned-out look. What I love most is its staying power. This mascara doesn't smudge or flake. It's truly waterproof and holds up well throughout the day. However, removing it requires a good eye makeup remover. The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is that it doesn't add much volume. If you're looking for a mascara that thickens your lashes, this might not be the one. But for length and durability, it's fantastic.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Laura from Long beautiful lashes This is a warerproof version of the t4lescopic mascara and I can tell you it delivers everything you get with the original. Really lovely long lashes that arent too thick or heavy. But the bonus of this one is its staying power. It does not budge. It holds the shape longer. It doesnt crumble or smudge. Basically you can work it hard and it will still look good. I find oil cleansers work better on waterproof mascara and this comes off fine if I use mine.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Debbiem from Telescopic Waterproof mascara I have very small thin lashes, so I’m always looking out for a mascara to give them more volume.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Daniduds from Long lashes I don't particularly like wearing false lashes, I find them time consuming. Having a back up or alternative such as this mascara is great. It adds great length and volume to lashes, it dries quickly and is very easy to apply.
