"The best lengthening mascara at the drugstore. Delivers the same fanned-out, separated lash effect as Lash Idôle."
Shop dupeMy verdict
L'Oréal Telescopic Mascara is a legendary dupe for Lancôme Lash Idôle—and for good reason: both brands are owned by the same parent company (L'Oréal Group), and the wand and formula technology share clear DNA. Telescopic delivers the same separated, defined, lengthened lash effect that made Lash Idôle a bestseller. The main difference is the wand shape: Lash Idôle's bent wand reaches every lash from root to tip, while Telescopic's straight precision wand achieves a similar result with a different technique. For length and separation, Telescopic is 95% of Lash Idôle at a third of the price. Volume lovers may still prefer Lash Idôle's slightly more buildable formula.
