Hi,
Has anyone used Lancôme mascara?
Is it better than cheaper mascaras?
Thanks.

Love Lancôme mascara! And much prefer the original.

I love dolls eyes (I’m 43 and have tried many), idole is a close second.

Sparklesandspandexgallore · 26/12/2025 21:08

Thank you.
Think I might give it a go.

It’s the best in my opinion. I like all in the range.

I used Lancôme Hypnose for years and am currently trying out Lancôme Idole Flutter Extension. Would highly recommend both - really lengthening, and thickening without being clumpy. No other mascaras come close, imo.

I've been using hypnose for about 12 months, I really like it. I got a sample of doll eyes in a gift set though that I've opened recently and it's really excellent, absolutely no clumps at all, I think I'll get a full size one when the standard one runs out.

Spent so much money over the years on mascara until I tried Lancôme about 10 years ago. Not used anything since. I buy hypnose but have also had samples of a few others and would recommend all. I have sensitive eyes and also find other mascaras clog and flake. I don’t bother removing my makeup before going to the gym after work and find that it doesn’t run. Removes easy at the end of the day though.

I also use hypnose and love it! Not heard of dolls eyes, will have a look for that! Can definitely recommend the hypnose though, it’s the only mascara ive ever stuck with! It’s brilliant! I’ve tried Dior also, I don’t mind that but prefer the hypnose!

I have used Lancôme mascara for about 20 years now and think it’s the best. I currently use Hypnose but I’ve used others over the years too.

When I try other brands every now and then I just don’t think they are as good (either smudge as the day goes on, or they don’t give as long lashes).

I generally buy it when it’s on sale in a gift set.

Every lancome mascara I've used over the years (which is most of them) has been excellent. Currently I have defected though, and am on my 4th tube of Charlotte Tilbury exaggereyes which is superb.

MrsKateColumbo · 26/12/2025 23:01

Yes I think it's great. My preference is doll eyes, my naturally sparse lashes look great

Polaopposite · 27/12/2025 00:00

I use hypnose, got dolls eyes etc in a gift set but didn’t like them as much as they smudged.

cockandbullstories · 27/12/2025 00:03

I don't like it tbh. Use Dior.

I thought L’Oreal owned them?

evilharpy · 27/12/2025 00:10

I've only used Hypnose but love it. I switched to Clinique a few years ago but can't remember why.

rosyvalentine · 27/12/2025 02:09

Nestlé owns 20% of L'Oreal, which fully owns Lancôme.

Pandapoop88 · 27/12/2025 12:10

Used to use hypnose and it is good but I find a better combination now is Kiko Milano white primer which in my opinion is better than Lancôme cila booster for fraction of the price, followed by any good mascara (I use the maybelline false lash effect)

TheGrimSmile · 27/12/2025 12:12

Good mascara, but sadly they still test on animals.

L’Oreal are partly owned by Nestle.

I’ve used Hypnose waterproof mascara for about 30 years.
Recently tried their Idole waterproof and love that too
