Normally, when the MAF team write reviews on products, its either on a seasonal collection as a whole, or individual products on their own.
Today, I’m changing that by writing a review for Lancome Mascaras as a group of their own!
I can’t remember how long ago it was that I first started consciously buying Lancome mascara, probably well over 10 years ago. It’s certainly about 5 years since Marie Claire quoted me recommending them – see here!
The mascaras are such a reliable product that I know that no matter which one I choose to buy, I know it will deliver. It’s a no-brainer with Lancome. They do what they claim to do. The lengthening mascaras do actually lengthen, and the thickening ones do make your lashes thicker.
Whats perfect, particularly for me, where I use a lot of Waterproof products, is that the WP versions of the Lancome mascaras deliver the same results as the originals. Nothing is lost in translation.
My professional kit is full of them, from Fatale to Virtuose, with L’Extreme and the new Hypnose Drama. I have the originals and the waterproofs, I’ve got every conceivable colour.
What I really love about their mascaras though is that its all about the product, and not so much about the brush. Yes, they do all have different brushes, which are an added dimension bonus, but its more about what the product is like inside the bottle, and as a pro makeup artist, using disposables often means that you have little choice over the mascara wand. Lancome mascaras don’t let you down, no matter which brush you’re using.
And for me? My personal favourite is L’Extreme for full on long lashes!
