Need to be applied correctly

I was surprised that some reviews were very positive, so I decided that I probably apply it wrong way, I read a lot of reviews and advises, browsed loreal sites in several countries... and... I found the way to apply it! And it looks great now. (I will try to explain it in English, sorry if there will be mistakes, I am not a native speaker) The problem is that majority of us used to apply mascara absolutelly differently, you really need to do it with only one move, you need to start from the very base and pull your lashes through the brush, do it with even some forse, quite slowly, one long move, lashes deeply immersed into the brush during the move. Do not stop in the middle of lashes, do it till the very tips and rotate in the end to take/remove extra mascara from lashes. Do not make many small movements, if you do not like the result, do not try to fix it making more layers/moves, better remove mascara and try again. When I understood the idea I learned very quickly and I really like it now. But it is true - at first I was shocked! It was terrible before I learned.7 of 7 people found this review helpful.

Didn't like it
by anabanana0714 (6 reviews)The advertisements talk about the great brush, but I thought it was awful. The first time I pulled it out of the tube, all of the mascara was clumped around the brush, so when I applied it, I got HUGE globs of mascara on my eyelashes.

The first time I pulled it out of the tube, all of the mascara was clumped around the brush, so when I applied it, I got HUGE globs of mascara on my eyelashes. I can't really say much about how long it lasts or whether it separates because I was never able to get that far with this product. Everytime I tried to apply, I got globs and globs on my lashes, and whenever I had finally gotten enough product off the brush to be able to adequately apply, the mascara had dried!5 of 5 people found this review helpful.

Hate The Brush
by Rhonda757 (4 reviews)I always loved L'Oreals mascaras so I couldn't wait to try Telescopic. The mascara itself is great, but the brush - what were they thinking? It takes so long to apply because of the brush depositing so much mascara that all my lashes are stuck together. What I did come up with is to use a brush from the Voluminous mascara t... February 22, 2008, 4:47 am I always loved L'Oreals mascaras so I couldn't wait to try Telescopic. The mascara itself is great, but the brush - what were they thinking? It takes so long to apply because of the brush depositing so much mascara that all my lashes are stuck together. What I did come up with is to use a brush from the Voluminous mascara to separate them. Actually this works pretty good. Problem solved - if I have the time in the morning to devote to mascara. Put a few more bristles on the brush and you will have a truly great mascara3 of 3 people found this review helpful.

FOR YEARS I'VE GONE THROUGH SO MANY DIFFERENT STYLES AND BRANDS OF MASCARA AND USUALLY I'LL JUST USE UP THAT MASCARA SO I CAN MOVE ON TO TRY MY NEW ONE.

February 15, 2008, 8:22 pm FOR YEARS I'VE GONE THROUGH SO MANY DIFFERENT STYLES AND BRANDS OF MASCARA AND USUALLY I'LL JUST USE UP THAT MASCARA SO I CAN MOVE ON TO TRY MY NEW ONE. WELL MY SISTER HAD BEEN USING A NEW BRAND AND I COULD NOT STOP LOOKING AT HER LASHES. SHE LET ME TRY OUT HER NEW MASCARA AND SINCE THAT DAY I'VE BEEN HOOKED. THIS IS MY NEW FAVORITE AND I WILL CONTINUE TO ONLY BUY THIS KIND. THE APPLICATOR BRUSH IS SUPER THIN AND THE BRISTLES ARE SHORT. IT MAKES MY LASHES LOOK REALLY LONG AND ALL DAY LONG PEOPLE ASK IF THEIR FAKE.3 of 3 people found this review helpful.

Not the Best
by cloud9girlie (10 reviews)The brush in this mascara is absolutely horrible. It's not so much a brush as it is a comb. Using the lash separator comb and brush would yield better results. It barely adds length and clumps easily and if you're looking to thicken up your lashes even a little bit, this is not the one to use. The price is on the high side ... May 25, 2008, 9:33 pm The brush in this mascara is absolutely horrible. It's not so much a brush as it is a comb. Using the lash separator comb and brush would yield better results. It barely adds length and clumps easily and if you're looking to thicken up your lashes even a little bit, this is not the one to use. The price is on the high side especially when L'Oreal competes with other top drugstore brands. Definitely not worth the money.2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

Works for me
by Hoodwinkstar (10 reviews)I try different mascaras all the time. I find this mascara is easy to layer but it can take time and effort. I feel like the bristles could be a little longer or closer together--and the container it comes in is a little long for my taste. but overall it is one of the better mascaras I've tried through the years and the pr... May 24, 2008, 1:26 pm I try different mascaras all the time. I find this mascara is easy to layer but it can take time and effort. I feel like the bristles could be a little longer or closer together--and the container it comes in is a little long for my taste. but overall it is one of the better mascaras I've tried through the years and the price doesn't break the bank! I find it usually lasts all day and it comes off easily.2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

Like it but I can't Remove it!
by kcoffman (10 reviews)I like the brush on this mascara and it gives me the length I need on my lashes. The problem is that I cant get this stuff off.

It's not waterproof or at least the one I bought isnt. But, this mascara doesnt even remove with my waterproof mascara remover. I've lost several lashes, tugging and pulling all the time. If it wasnt for that problem, I'd probably give this item a 9.2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

My Everyday Mascara

March 14, 2008, 3:55 pm I really love how I can get my lashes super long...falsies look from using this! Once I got used to the consistancy of the product & the brush, I was able to get a look I never could before with mascara alone. Here's a tip that might help some of you that have clumping issues...first, coat the tips of your lashes so you don't have too much product on the brush when you do the base. Then go to the base and roll the brush as you drag it upward so the product disperses more evenly.2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

As soon as I put it on it really made my eyes pop with volume and definition. I really loved it! I dont even have to wear eyeliner sometimes with this mascara because it thickens my lashes and makes my eyes look amazing!2 of 2 people found this review helpful.
