Mascara "Telescope" ("Loreal"): photos, reviews

Mascara "Telescope" from "Loreal" is one of the first of its kind with false eyelash effect. The Loreal company claims that the composition of the mascara includes special fibers that allow you to lengthen your eyelashes almost twice and make your look more expressive.

This cosmetic product is also distinguished by a composition that is favorable for eyelashes - it contains natural wax and vitamins.

In addition, Telescope mascara is one of the first mascaras on the market with a silicone brush. Such brushes differ from ordinary brushes in greater flexibility and ease of application. It is believed that brushes with silicone cloves evenly distribute the paint on the eyelashes, although this also depends on the consistency of the mascara itself.

What else is noteworthy for the Telescopic mascara brush (see photo below)? Her teeth are not located around the entire circumference of the rod, but only on four sides. Usually, if the mascara begins to thicken with prolonged use, then lumps of paint are accumulated between the rows of cloves, which then settle on the eyelashes. However, the new mascara has a rather liquid consistency, so the problem described above can only be encountered if you use mascara very rarely or forget to close the tube.

Silicone brush

However, users have different opinions on such a brush. Some remain true to standards; they still cannot get used to it. To others, it seems more convenient compared to familiar forms. Someone thinks that the main problem is the misuse of the tool. For good staining, they are advised to keep the brush upright.

For what they love telescope mascara from Loreal

This product has a lot of fans. They love her because:

  • Really well lengthens eyelashes without sticking them together. If even when applying the second layer, the eyelashes begin to stick together, this can easily be eliminated if combed.
  • Eyelashes do not become hard from the applied product.
  • Mascara well twists straight eyelashes even by nature, the bend that appears appears naturally.
  • Mascara lays down on eyelashes gently, does not stray into lumps.
  • For a long time retains a liquid consistency inside the bottle, without drying out prematurely.
  • It is not imprinted on the eyelids from prolonged wear - neither on the top nor on the bottom.
  • It does not crumble during the day.
  • Almost does not react to natural conditions - does not flow during light rain or in high humidity.
  • Suitable for sensitive eyes.

Bottle design

The Telescope line is easy to recognize by the original shape of the bottle: it narrows from the base to the top and really resembles a telescope in some way. There are several varieties of mascara, which differ in the color of the bottle and, of course, in their properties. The standard volume is 9 ml. This amount is enough to use it completely until the mascara begins to dry.

The inscriptions on the bottle erase over time, most often from constant contact with other surfaces in a cosmetic bag or purse.

Loreal telescopic

The basic product from the Telescope line from Loreal, you can even say its ancestor, you need to look for in a golden bottle. This mascara is universal, it is suitable for bright daytime makeup, and for evening, if you apply it in several layers. If you want to limit yourself to a natural make-up and just increase the length a little - limit yourself to one layer when applying.

The main shade of the Telescope carcass is black. User reviews note unusual saturation and color depth. For many, this is one of the main indicators when choosing a mascara.

Loreal telescopic waterproof

The classic Mascara "Telescope" from "Loreal" has a waterproof analogue - Loreal Telescopic Waterproof. It is available in a light blue bottle and in its properties is no different from the base carcass, except for water resistance, of course.

Telescopic clean definition

Telescopic Clean Definition - mascara, the main property of which is a clear separation of eyelashes. The color of this mascara is not so saturated, so it is great for daily makeup. Among other representatives of the Telescopic, you can distinguish it by a silver bottle.

Telescopic Infinite Length Effect Fibers

The endless length and effect of false eyelashes is what the Loreal experts promise us when using this Telescope mascara. Black and lengthening, like the rest of the product line, this mascara comes in a silver bottle, like the Telescopic Clean Definition.

But if such a black shade seems not saturated enough, you can try another option - mascara "Carbon Black".

Telescopic carbon black

In the mass market, it is customary to call such carcasses giving “dramatic effect”. Indeed, if you are planning an evening out and you need a gorgeous make-up, Carbon Black mascara (Telescope) is just what is required in this case. Charcoal black is called its rich shade. And of course, the bottle for this mascara "Telescope" from "Loreal" is black.

Telescopic explosion

This product "Telescope" from "Loreal" differs not only in a brightly executed bottle design, but also in an original, unlike anything else brush for application. When opening the tube, you will not find an elongated brush of the usual shape, but a small red “hedgehog”. The same mascara was also released in a waterproof version - in a blue bottle and, accordingly, with a blue brush.

Unusual brush shape

Manufacturers promise an "explosive effect": the very additional volume that this line was lacking is now possible with the new Telescope mascara from Loreal. Customer reviews, however, testify to something else: mascara, as before, holds well and gives length, but the volume is achieved due to adhering lumps. And in order to make up with such a brush, you need some skill: with an awkward movement, you can accidentally add extra strokes to the makeup.

In addition to the innovative brush, the Loreal company also announces another difference between the Telescopic Explosion mascara - the revolutionary composition. In simple terms, it includes water and polymers: after painting the eyelashes, water evaporates, and the polymers remain and hold the shape of your eyelashes. The formula of the carcass is such that it is easily washed off with plain tap water without leaving any residue. Now this is actually a revolution and innovation in the world of mascara.

For some reason, this product is not for sale with us, but many lovers of a high-quality make-up manage to buy it abroad. It features an improved composition.

Like the usual Telescope, this carcass also has a waterproof "sister" in a blue-black tube.

How to rinse

Like any other eye makeup product, Telescope mascara is washed off with makeup remover or micellar water. It is not recommended to rinse it off with plain tap water. Firstly, it will not be possible to wash it off to the end, and secondly, hardly anyone will like the unnecessary mechanical effect on the skin around the eyes. As already mentioned, plain water is for Telescopic Explosion only.

Customer opinions

Reviews about the carcass "Telescope" are mixed. Someone purchases a product repeatedly and claims that it is the best mascara ever tested. Many girls note the ease of use and a pleasant consistency - not thick, but not too thin, which helps to achieve a good separation of the cilia and a beautiful lengthening.

Other users do not respond so flatteringly and describe the brush as uncomfortable and fearsome to gouge out with its teeth. Another common complaint is the lack of volume: eyelashes become long, but look like a stockade.

Who does not fit

For all its benefits, Telescopic Mascara is not suitable for those who want to make their eyelashes thicker and fluffier. Mascaras for giving eyelashes volume and mascaras that add length are two different cosmetic products with different properties and composition. If your eyelashes are quite long, but rarely set and thin, then Telescope will make them even longer, and you will look very doll-like. In your case, it is better to choose mascara for volume.

How to understand whether mascara is right for you or not

Each cosmetic product is original, and you cannot predict for sure whether it will suit you or not. For example, carcasses with similar properties from different manufacturers can behave completely differently, because each product has its own unique formula. So, “Telescope” mascara may suit you well, but not your friend, because you have different initial data - the shape, length and thickness of the eyelashes.

Usually, mascara is suitable for you or not, it is clear immediately, as soon as you start to use it. But if you can not decide in any way, then pay attention to the following signs:

  • the mascara looks messy on the eyelashes, lumps and accumulations of pigment are formed;
  • mascara sticks eyelashes, they become too hard;
  • after staining, a feeling of tightness or heaviness appears;
  • the paint begins to crumble too quickly from the eyelashes or is imprinted on the skin of the eyelids;
  • when applying mascara, the eyes begin to watery and seem to tear away the product.

It is also worth paying attention to the suitability of the carcass itself if:

  • the product has too thick or too liquid consistency;
  • the shelf life of this product is in doubt;
  • the product has changed consistency;
  • you don't like the smell of mascara.

Most likely, you somehow violated the rules for storing carcasses. There are many tips on the network how to “revive” it, for example, drop an eye drop into a bottle or just add a little water, hold the tube in water and so on. However, such manipulations will not cancel the fact that your mascara has deteriorated, it will be safer to get a new one.

Secrets of applying

Good dear mascara, as practice shows, is not a guarantee of perfect makeup. After all, it is important not only to observe the rules of storage and operation, but also to know exactly how to apply mascara on eyelashes in order to achieve the desired effect.

Understanding the technique of dyeing mascara with mascara is not at all difficult. The following tips will help:

  1. When applying mascara, try not to brush with the usual direct movements, but slightly move it back and forth, that is, lead along a zigzag path. Similarly, you can dye your eyelashes more evenly.
  2. Get yourself a comb for eyelashes. Her existence in the female arsenal of beauty is not a marketing ploy: it is really convenient to separate stuck together eyelashes from each other. You won’t be able to do this with a brush from the carcass - on the contrary, it will glue them even more. If you apply Mascara “Telescope” from “Loreal” in several layers and the eyelashes still stick together, then the comb will save you from having to separate the eyelashes with a needle, as short-sighted young ladies do.
  3. Do not be afraid to apply two different products at the same time. If you want to give the eyelashes a length, but not enough volume, you just need to apply the second layer with another mascara with the necessary properties. Through trial and error, you will understand what means are best combined with each other.
  4. If you are going to use mascara, then most likely you will need to use other eye makeup products. Most often, if only eyelashes are made up, then there is some incompleteness in the appearance, especially if you have pale skin. It is better if you do a full eye makeup or at least work out the eyelash growth line with a kayal, adding colors. True, with eyeliner you also need to be careful - fully circled eyes can visually decrease.
  5. If you are blonde or have fair skin and light eyelashes, you do not have to use black mascara for everyday makeup. Try brown or gray shades - they can look much more natural on you. And leave black for evening makeup.
  6. Be careful with eyelash curlers. Some girls do not experience inconvenience when using them, while others, on the contrary, break eyelashes with careless handling. Good mascara copes with curling eyelashes and without tongs. But if you still decide to use the tongs, then pre-heat them a little - with a stream of hot air from a hairdryer, putting it on the battery or even holding it under hot water for a bit from the tap. So your eyelashes will experience less stress.
  7. Often there is a tip to “powder eyelashes” - before or after painting, so that the eyelashes are longer or the paint lasts longer. But blindly following this advice is fraught with sloppy makeup with lashes in lumps. Powder for eye makeup is really used, however, it is more likely to apply to the skin of the eyelids - then it is more convenient to brush off the crumbling particles of mascara from them.
  8. If the mascara is well taken on the brush, do not try to collect as much paint as possible. This contributes to air entering the tube and accelerates the drying of the carcass.
