Most Helpful Positive Review Awesome Mascara! I think I have tried at least 15 different kinds of mascara to find the One that stays put. I have Asian-fatty eyelids and little pouches under my eyes that catch every little smudge and transfer, and I end up having to skip mascara and eyeliner altogether to avoid having raccoon eyes by noon.
I actually was recommended the Lancome Cils Booster XL, a primer, and I bought this mascara to wear on top of the primer, since I heard that Lancome's mascaras are the best. They cost a little more than what I would normally pay for mascaras, but it was absolutely worth every penny! Worn with the primer (I haven't tried this mascara without Cils Booster XL), it lasts all day, doesn't smudge a bit, and doesn't flake like the cheaper mascaras. And even though it boasts all this staying-power, it wipes off so easily with my cleansing wipe in the evening. I have become a Lancome fan for life!
Most Helpful Critical Review huge disappointment i am 75 years old and use mascara daily. i purchased this one aboard a royal caribbean cruise ship on dec 14, 2012. today, jan 13, 2013, i must throw it out!!! it did not perform initially and hasn't done better with time. imagine, one month and it's finished. ugh the results were no better than any other mascara and less than most. clumps. dried so quickly that applying a second coat was impossible. by the third week the clumps were severe. one notable cosmetic issue is that of older women whose lashes are thinning. no company seems to address that issue and the result is clumping which is very unnattractive. could this one, which has such great reviews, have been past its sell by date by sitting on the cruise ship shelf too long? i assume a mascara only begins to deteriorate after being opened. in any case, will never buy this product again.

Expensive. Smudges. Hard to wash off. Need I say more? It made my lashes look alright, but everything else about it is such a downer. Would not recommend!! Even if this was just a few bucks, I still wouldn't buy it.
Best Mascara 5
Marc from Denver, CO
This is the nicest, smoothest mascara I have ever bought. It goes on so evenly and does not clump.
wowww the best 5
dahlia from nyc
literally the BEST mascara i've ever used & i've used a lotttt. i have super short & thin lashes & while these aren't going to look like falsies or lash extensions, i definitely see a big difference and they make my lashes look so long. definitely more length than volume for me personally but i don't mind. 10/10 will repurchase!
Best mascara ever! 5

Been using this for years! And I've tried many others, from luxury to drugstore brands, I always come back to this! Perfect application. Every. Single. Time. Please never discontinue!
The absolute BEST! 5
Britt_on_the_run from Frostburg, MD
I used this religiously many years ago. I got away from it for awhile, thought it had been discontinued, tried every new high end mascara on the market and NOTHING compares! Not even other Lancome mascaras. But it, try it, thank me later! Goes on perfect everytime. Formula and brush can't be beat. The oscillation is just an added bonus! Worth every penny!
Terrific product 5

I have blonde eyelashes and it makes it easier to get full coverage.
Doll lashes by Lancome 3
Cher from Oregon City
I was expecting alot beings its lancome and they have some of my favorite mascaras. I wasn't real impressed with this. I doesn't give a full bold look as you would expect from a mascara claiming to give you doll eyes The tube is beautiful and easy to hold, the tip is pointed which makes it easier to get to corners and inside lashes. The problem I have is that it doesn't deposit much product to the lashes, it gives a natural look at best. I kept swiping and swiping it just didnt seem to coat them well. It's a pretty dry formula. I dont reccomend unless you already have long thick lashes as a bit of color otherwise it's a bust for me.
TRULY Waterproof! 5
Jenn from Nashville, TN
I've tried waterproof mascaras from Covergirl, Maybelline, bareMinerals, and Too Faced and this is the only 100% waterproof mascara I've found. The only con I've found is that it's actually a bit hard to remove even with a cleanser. It really lasts all day with no flakes or smudges.
I wore this mascara to a visitation and a funeral and didn't have a single smear. I know it seems weird to fixate on something so trivial during such a sad time but in an out-of-control situation, this is one thing that wasn't out of my hands and I'm so glad I didn't have to worry about makeup running down my face. This is the probably only mascara I'll purchase from now on!

My favorite mascara for many years. Combine with Cils for long, thick lashes. I've tried other name brands but always come back to Hypnose.
Awesome product! 5
Cjcalico from Ohio
Love how dark this is - gives a punch to barely there lashes. Voume, length, no flakes and only minimal smudging after a full 12 hour day. Did not irritate my dry eyes either.
Addicted 5
AnnieM from New York
Nothing curls and creates volume like hypnose waterproof.. tried to wean off because it's a little more labor intensive to remove, but nothing else works for my straight thin lashes. Tried almost every brand, including the regular Hypnose but literally it just made my mature lashes go totally straight- even with a curler. Been using this product for years- ain't nothing better even tho it's kinda pricey I can't give it up!
Great Product 5

I love Lancôme and Hypnose Mascara is always in my makeup routine. I've used many brands of mascara in my younger years but no more. For me it's Lancôme's Hypnose!
horrible for asian lashes 1
kait from los angeles
bought this mascara after seeing a youtuber rave about it. was extremely disappointed in this product. it makes your lashes look great, but it immediately made my short, straight asian lashes droop. after applying, i sat down and did some work for an hour at my desk, and when i went to check my makeup, it was ALREADY SMUDGING.... HOW... all i did was sit at my desk for an hour and it smudged?????? bad sign. i decided to give it another try at a 4th of july bbq and it gave me TERRIBLE raccoon eyes. i would wipe the smudge away and then like an hour later it would smudge even further. absolutely will not be repurchasing, esp for that price point. my l'oreal mascara performs better than this....

I love all Hypnose mascara, but love the Doll lashes the best! My lashes look longer and fuller when I wear ot!
I will buy this again 4
Terry from Conyngham Pa
I use the booster before hand cause I have very thin lashes then I apply mascara
Just two coats builds my lashes to think and even coverage. Eyes are defined and beautiful.

This has been my favorite for over 15 years! Smooth formula that is perfect for a quick lash boost or a more dramatic buildable coverage. I can not live without!!!!
I've bought this mascara again and again 5

I buy this for my girls and granddaughters for Christmas
My Favorite Mascara 5
LAM8 from Williamsville, NY
I've tried so many mascaras, even within the Lancôme line and Oscillation is by far my favorite. I usually put one coat on without the battery operating & then go over my lashes a second time with the battery on. For bottom lashes it's best to keep the battery off
Using for Years 5
Ashley from Maryland
No clumps. No smudges. Long thick lashes. All around amazing product that I suspect is the best mascara I've ever used.
MY HOLY GRAIL MASCARA! 5
JillJMUA from Boston
This mascara is everything you need in your life! The vibrating brush coats the lash from root to tip separating & lengthening with every coat (and you only need one or 2 coats!) It basically does the work for you and gives you insane full volume lashes!
Will buy again and again 5

gracek82 from undisclosed
One of my favorite mascaras. It keeps my short, straight lashes curled and adds volume. It also does not smudge or flake.
I have pretty sensitive eyes and wear contacts, but this didn't irritate them at all. I initially tried this mascara out after watching a youtube beauty guru (meejmuse) rave about it. I still try to switch up and try other brands, but always end up coming back to this one.

sandyccccc from undisclosed
Tried this product as a sample originally and loved it, so it's become my go to mascara. I don't do too much make up so I don't like mascara that is too voluming or dramatic. This product adds good volume without caking or getting too "dirty" looking. It still smears a little at the end of the day, but still much better than other "waterproof" mascara I've tried. I also love the brush which is super easy to use.
The best 5

This is the best mascara I've used in a long time! Lengthens curls and separates absolutely amazing!
