Most Helpful Positive Review Best Ever! This is by far the best mascara I have ever tried! I have short eye lashes that I never notice, and I have bought every brand of mascara you can think of. I always loved Lancome the most, so when this came out I did not even give it a second thought. I bought it in the store because I got a 10% discount, and went on my way. I was so excited I applied it in the car. Even my 59 year old father saw a difference after I applied it. It is a little thick, so you do have to have patience to work it out, but it is absolutely phenomenal. (Also, a note on the fact that this is not waterproof.) I am a bartender, so I am constantly moving for hours, and getting sweaty, and having sink water splash at me.. and this stays on and looks beautiful all the way until the end of my shift! I have always had a problem with eyeliner and mascara bc iI have naturally watery eyes, and the combination of this and Lancome's black mascara stays on flawlessly for hours! Thank you Lancome for making a product so amazing for us ladies with next to no eye lashes!!!!!!!
Most Helpful Critical Review Still in trial process - end result is positive First of all, I just read a customer comment who complained that due to the shape of the wand neck, there is no way to get all the product out of the tube and that was a huge waste. It is nearly impossible to use an entire tube of mascara as the product becomes unusable at the "rear" end of any tube - it isn't like a lotion where one can SQUEEZE every last drop of product out of the tube - !
I have tried nearly every mascara available, and I have found that a good mascara doesn't have to be easy to apply - watch the "pros" apply mascara and they use tools, extra brushes and separating tools, and I find this mascara requires "pro" application methods. It is very pigmented and thick, and it isn't a good mascara choice for one who is less advanced in technique and wants a quick easy coat. I am stilll in my trial phase but I suspect I will keep it.
Reviewed by 324 customers Problem with mascara or just the tube itself? 1
Bummed in OK. from Oklahoma
Have always loved my Lancome Definicils but thought I'd try the Grandiose Extreme. So very, very disappointed! I can't even see the brush part, it is covered in TONS of mascara, can't even use it! Problem with the design of the applicator, the mascara or just the tube itself? Just hate that I paid more for something I've used once, TRIED using more than once but.....
Crazy length! 4
ER from MN
I bought this because I like other Lancôme mascaras and it was on sale. The wand is a tad awkward and I kept getting it on my eyeshadow, but once I got the hang of it, I didn't get any on my lids. The length this mascara delivers is insane - I don't notice any volume so if that's what you're looking for, this ain't it. I'm disappointed by the lack of volume, so I'm deducting a star. But the length of my lashes and the lift is great and on days I wear just mascara it's wicked natural looking.
Honestly 2
Ugh from Fl
I tried this product because someone was wearing it and her lashes looked amazing. I bought it even though I felt the price was a little high, and I didn't see the same reaction.
That wasn't the only thing thought the top part separated and I couldn't fix it. I fixed it and then the other part separated so i got it everywhere. It made a huge mess and I had to use the whole bottle to fix it.
False Lashes or Real? 5
mandms4evr from Texas
I've been asked many times while wearing this mascara if I am wearing false lash. Gives me a beautiful fringe. Very little (if any) problems with clumping. It's expensive but it's worth it if you want the Wow factor. Not waterproof but water and sweat resistant. Comes off easily with Simple cleansing wipes.
Great 5

I love this mascara for my long lashes to curl them and volumize
My favorite mascara! 5
Lane from Mechanicsville VA
My eyelashes are a little on the short side and also VERY stubborn when trying to curl them, but this provides me with the length, volume, and holds a little bit of the curl from my lash curler. It took a minute to get used to the wand and yes, I sometimes hit my eyelid with it, but I also do that with all my mascaras so it may not be the product. I do have sensitivities to most mascaras, but never with this one. Over all, this is my GO TO mascara and my daily favorite.
Waste of money 1
Ashlyn from Missouri
I bought this mascara and I can't stand it! The curvy brush I thought would be amazing but it's short so every time I put my make up on it ends up being awkward to put on and I end up with it on my eye lid and it's hard to get both the outer and inner eye. I wouldn't waste my money on this again.
Yes! 5
Ms from Naples, FL
Hands down my favorite mascara it makes my lashes look amazing and long. I always get compliments on my lashes when I use this. Little pricey but worth it.
Holy Grail Mascara 5

Love, love, love this mascara.
Perfect 5
Claw45 from Duluth, MN
This mascara curls my lashes as well as giving them great length! It separates well and does give some volume. It doesn't flake or clump! I absolutely love this mascara!
Disappointed 1
MLS from Phila PA
I'm glad I got this at half off because it's expensive and I don't like it! I didn't mind the curvy wand and it does help with length..volume not so much, but the problem is I have raccoon eyes by late morning!!! I'm constantly having to wipe my under eye area so by the end of the day my bottom lashes are nonexistent since I have very light lashes. Won't be buying again.

This is a clean looking mascara that does exactly what it says.
What happened to it being Water Proof? 2
Holly from Northville, MI
I bought this in store- it was in the Waterproof area of the products. It did not specifically say waterproof on the package so I asked the girl and she said it was. That they repackaged and it is. While it was different then the one it was next to. I wore it on Saturday and after a few tears there was all the black mascara coming off! Also by 2 PM I have rings under my eyes from it flaking off or wearing off and I only wear it on my top lids. Really disappointed! The waterproof version is AMAZING!
I would buy again 4
No e from Wi
I wish it added more volume but I will give that up for separation and length.
One you get used to the brush, it's AMAZING. 5
Carmelita from Texas
I've tried so many mascaras including all of the overhyped ones like Better Than Sex. After being disappointed with the wear time on all of them, I asked an Ulta associate what she would recommend. She pointed me to this one. I was a bit skeptical because the brush took a while to get used to, and my first few applications ended up looking like a clumpy mess. But I got used to it and now I'm a pro! It's even easy to get my corner lashes and lower lashes without poking my eye!
Perhaps the BEST part about this mascara is that it lasts ALL DAY. Through everything. I have an extremely physical outdoor job, and even on the 100 degree summer days where I'm sweating to death, this mascara stays on and looks like I just applied it. No raccoon eyes or flaking off at the ends! Everyone I work with cannot believe my lashes are real. I tell everyone about this product and I really don't care about trying any others now. This does everything I want. Most mascaras won't even last 3 hours on a lazy Sunday but this stuff will hold up through anything. It's not that difficult to remove either and my lashes don't fall out. Highly recommend!
Love, but hate the shape 4
Chridden from Fort Wayne, IN
The ONLY reason I'm not giving this 5 stars is because I do not like the shape of the brush stick. It makes it difficult to dip into the mascara when you're applying. I have to pretty much put the entire lid back on and then untwist to get mascara on the brush.
My absolute favorite 5
Janellys from Grand Island, NE
I have tried several mascaras before and I usually gravitate to Lancome. I have the big monseur mascara and loved it. I came across this one and I will NOT use anything else.
Not a fan 2
Allie from Columbia, MO
I really was not a fan of this mascara. I do have an allergy to a lot of different mascaras and this one is not an exception. Beyond it not working for my allergies it doesn't build well and doesn't lengthen lashes. The brush is not my favorite. I will be returning.
By far the best mascara I've ever used 5
Ali from Dickinson, ND
I've been using this mascara for almost a year now and I am IN LOVE with it. The formula is so smooth to apply and it separates them SOOOO nicely! The brush was something yo get used to because it is a bent shape but once you do, you can't go back! Fits perfectly around my nose so no more mascara mishaps! LOVE LOVE LOVE
My favorite formula but the packaging :/ 2
TiffyJ from Ohio
This is my favorite formula, but after about two weeks this happens..I think I have only ever been able to finish one tube of this mascara because it always breaks..
Very nice mascara 5
