Lancome Hypnose Mascara

A short while ago we picked up a small sample tube of Lancome's customisable volume mascara Hypnose. Fitted with it's very own patented powerFULL brush, the product claims to visibly thicken lashes by up to 6 times their natural state. Promising a clump free, simple and smooth application, we wanted to see if these mighty statements could actually be matched by such a tiny tester...

The long thin brush easily hugged the majority of our lashes and certainly delivered a clean, even coat of mascara. However, although we didn't experience any clumping, the wetness of the formula did cause some of our lashes to cling whilst drying; though, it definitely wasn't anything that couldn't be fixed with a quick swipe of the brush...

Lashes with 1 coat of Lancome Hypnose (black)

There's no denying Hypnose lengthens, thickens and emphasis, yet our favourite trait without a doubt is it's longevity. This formula really packs a punch and lasted a whole 12 hours wear without flaking, drooping, crumbling or smudging. We found that 3 coats instantly took our lashes to an enviable state of flutter and, during the course of an evening, were asked 8 times if they were in fact falsies!

If you're looking for 1 product to swiftly take you from day to night, then generous lashings of this would definitely do the job.

Lancome Hypnose mascara is available from selected retailers worldwide and lancome.co.uk for £20.
