## Should you buy this?

A lengthening, lifting mascara with a double-sided brush and ceramides at £12.99. Choose it for length and lift on straight lashes; choose the separate waterproof version for humid days.

Skip this if you want dramatic volume, or a mascara with a wide colour range.

A lengthening lash mark at a high-street price — length and lift rather than heavy volume.

## The formula

Telescopic Lift pairs a double-sided brush with a ceramide formula designed to lengthen and lift. L’Oréal Paris UK claims up to 5mm longer-looking lashes and up to 24-hour lift for the washable version; the waterproof version carries separate claims.

It is a different product from the original Telescopic and from Telescopic Extensionist, so check the name on the tube.

## Who it’s for

Straight or downward-facing lashes that need lift and length, on a high-street budget.

## What should you check before buying?

Choose washable or waterproof deliberately: waterproof formulas need an appropriate remover. US and UK claims differ, so rely on the UK pack. Retailer listings vary on size.

## How to use it

1. Wiggle the brush from the lash roots to the tips
2. Use the flat side for length and the curved side for lift
3. Remove gently at night with a remover suited to the formula

## Questions and answers

### Is L’Oréal Telescopic Lift waterproof?

The standard version is washable. L’Oréal Paris sells a separate Telescopic Lift Waterproof Mascara.

### Is Telescopic Lift the same as the original Telescopic mascara?

No. Telescopic Lift is a separate product with a double-sided brush and a ceramide formula; the original Telescopic and Telescopic Extensionist are different mascaras.

### Is Telescopic Lift suitable for sensitive eyes?

L’Oréal Paris says it is suitable for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers. Stop using any eye product that irritates.
