Details & care

What it is: Turn up the volume of your lashes six times for instant come-hither, hypnotizing eyes with this buildable volume mascara.

What it does: Barely there lashes are no match for the patented POWERFULL™ brush that thickens lashes from root to tip with custom volume you can control. And the exclusive SoftSculpt™ formula, enriched with vitamin B5, wraps lashes one luxurious layer at a time without smearing, smudging or clumping.

How to use: Place the wand at the root of the lashes and blend through. Layer mascara on the outer corner lashes with the tip to lift the eye. Apply to lower lashes with the tip of the wand. Blend vertically using the tip to distribute product.

- 0.22 oz.

Simply the best

I love this mascara. In fact, I used to work for Lancome at Nordstrom and have tried many of their other fabulous mascaras and keep coming back to this one. It gives great length and volume without being clumpy. I'm ususally in a hurry and don't have time for their primer. It does the job and I highly recommend!

Sassy lashes!

Love this mascara.. I bought it b/c it was on real simples magazine favorite for Volume masaca.. I have long straight eyelashes, I have to curl my lashes extra long before applying the mascara.. most mascara's will drag my curls down and it looks like i haven't done a thing to them.. but this mascara is very light and fluid.. it looks like i have thick full lashes and keeps them curled after i have curled them.. I love this one and hope they don't re-invent a new formula..it is perfect the way it is!

no clumping

I am new to the "expensive" mascara world. I have always just used Maybelline. Last Christmas I bought Lancome mascara for my daughter and daughter in law. A couple of months ago, I bought some for myself. There really is a difference. This type does not clump and if you want more volume or length, you just add another layer.

Miss My Virtuose

I love Definicils for length. I also used Virtuose to add volume and curl. Unfortunately Virtuose was discontinued. Decided to try Hypnose because it is the only other Lancome mascara that does NOT include fragrance. This mascara really didn't "add" anything, was okay on separation without clumping. I miss Virtuose and this is not going to work as a replacement. Unfortunately the other Lancome mascaras all have fragrance and are extremely irritating to my eyes and cause redness. Just don't understand why Lancome has to use fragrance in the mascaras - I can't be the only gal that gets red eyes from the perfumes used.

Gorgeous

This is the best mascara. I have tried many mascaras and this one does exactly what it says it will do. I do use it with Lancôme's mascara primer but I have used it without and it still works great. I use less mascara when I use the primer. I would recommend when you make your purchase you buy them both. You won't be disappointed.

Didn't expect to like so much!

My favorite mascara is Chanel Le Volume, but I wanted to try other formulas during the Nordstrom Mascara Event. This was my freebie mascara, and I am pleasantly surprised by it! It is a deep black, does not clump or flake. I do find I prefer using it over the Lancome Cils Booster primer, I get more volume that way. Very glad I tried Lancome, this mascara may find a permanent place in my rotation. For reference, I have long but very fine lashes that easily hold a curl.

My Favorite Mascara

I made the mistake of taking a break from this mascara to try other brands. There is much talk on the internet of drugstore mascaras being comparable to, if not better than, high end ones, so I gave it a go. I literally threw money into the garbage, because all of the mascaras I purchased at the drugstore were terrible...all of them. Time and time again, I go back to this mascara and find it makes me happy because it make my lashes beautiful!

My Favorite Mascara EVER!

It makes my lashes fuller and longer. It never takes more than two applications to get the lash results I want. My lashes are not long nor are they very voluminous, but with this mascara, I have great lashes. It's easy to remove when you're ready to take it off. It doesn't clump nor is it too thin. I got hooked with the first sample of the product I got with one of my orders. LOVE this mascara.

The Gold Standard Mascara

Love this mascara! This mascara is great because it doesn’t flake off, lengthens, and the brown color is natural looking.

LOVE IT

I bounce around the different Lancome mascaras, but I read the reviews first, and I am glad I settled on this one this time! With the Cils XL base/primer, they are all good, but this one can be customized depending on how many coats - 1 coat for everyday, 3 coats and I have doll eyes. No clumps, just thick long lashes. Highly recommended!

my favorite mascara

I bought this mascara during a holiday sale. I’ve been wearing the black for about a year and I was extremely surprised that I like the brown even more! Usually I find brown mascaras to be too red but not this one! It wears great, no clumps or flakes, and it doesn’t bother my sensitive eyes. Highly recommend.

A Classic I Always Come Back To Lancome Hypnose

I’ve been using this mascara for over 10 years, and it always gives me great results. I’ve tried other brands several times, but I keep coming back to Lancôme Hypnôse — it really is the best. It doesn’t clump, doesn’t flake, and keeps my lashes looking clean and defined all day. I use both the black and brown shades and love them.
