I’ve never been shy about my love-hate relationship with mascara. My natural lashes are on the shorter side, and with my hooded eyelids, even the best mascaras tend to smudge. Honestly, most days I find myself skipping mascara altogether. However, given my role of testing products, I recently got the nudge to step out of my mascara comfort zone and try Lancôme’s mascara range. To my surprise, I’ve been genuinely impressed.
Whether you’re looking for longer, separated lashes like me, craving volume or drama, or wanting that perfect lift and curl, Lancôme has a mascara that suits your needs. Here’s my full review of each Lancôme mascara.
Lancôme Monsieur Big Mascara: Best volumising Lancôme mascara
Why we love it
For a night out, this mascara is a game-changer. It adds so much volume that you might even feel a bit self-conscious—especially if you’re a fan of false lashes. The soft fibre brush works wonders, boosting volume and thickness. Just be cautious with the coats; too many can make it look a bit spidery, especially if your lashes are on the lower side.
Lancôme Defencils Mascara: Best lengthening Lancôme mascara
Why we love it
This mascara is your everyday go-to. The wand is just the right size, making it easy to apply without making a mess, especially for those of us with hooded eyelids. It’s perfectly shaped to extend and lengthen each lash, giving a naturally extended finish with beautifully separated lashes. It’s a must-have for that effortlessly chic look.
Lancôme Hypnôse Mascara: Best Lancôme mascara for layering up
Why we love it
Perfect for both daytime and evening wear, this mascara’s buildable formula is a win. Even if you have fragile, sparse lashes like mine, you’ll appreciate how comfortable it feels. Enriched with ProVitamin B5, it avoids that crispy, brittle feeling, no matter how much you layer it. A single coat offers a fluttery, defined look, while layering gives a thicker, more dramatic lash appearance.
Lancôme Hypnôse Drama Mascara: Best thickening Lancôme mascara
Why we love it
The unique ‘s’ shape brush of the Hypnôse Drama mascara takes a bit of getting used to, but once you do, you’ll love the results. Coating every lash from root to tip, it makes even the finest lashes look thicker, fuller, and glossy—perfect for a night out. Embrace the learning curve for stunning lashes.
Lancôme Hypnôse Le 8 Mascara: Best Lancôme mascara for sensitive eyes
Why we love it
Why we love itIf you’ve experienced watery eyes and soreness with mascaras, you’ll appreciate this wax-free, serum-infused formula. It’s easy to remove, and the amino acid-based serum not only cares for your lashes but also provides impressive volume and fullness. Say goodbye to uncomfortable mascara experiences.
Lancôme Lash Idôle Mascara: Best Lancôme mascara for fluttery lashes
Why we love it
For those who adore feathery, fluttery lashes, Lancôme Lash Idôle mascara is a winner. The curved brush glides through lashes, avoiding clumps and providing a wide-eyed, curled lash finish for any occasion. While those with super-short lashes may struggle a bit, the overall effect is undeniably stunning.
