L’Oréal Paris Telescopic Original

Price: About £9 to £13Not waterproofBest for: Length and definition

A long-running best seller on Amazon UK with a precise, separating brush. It is a safe pick if you want long, defined lashes rather than a big volume look.

Pros

  • Precise brush defines every lash
  • Lengthening effect
  • Affordable and everywhere

Cons

  • Less volume than volumising formulas

Who it suits

People who want long, neat, separated lashes more than big volume. Its precise brush gives a defined, tidy finish that works well for work and everyday wear.

Who should skip it

Anyone chasing maximum volume or a very fluffy look. A tidy, separated finish is the point of this one.

Good to know

It is a long-running best seller on Amazon UK, and the listing claims up to +71% lengthening effect, which is the brand's own figure, not an independent test. If you like it, the Extensionist version is the brand's newer lengthening mascara and gets more editor attention.
