When I first got into luxury beauty in my early twenties, I used Lancome mascaras exclusively, namely Hypnose. So I was super excited to try out the latest addition, Lancome Lash Idole Mascara. Here’s the lowdown with before and after photos.
What is Lancome Lash Idole?
The first thing I noticed about this mascara was how light it felt in my hand. Had I not known what the brand was, I’d have said it was a high street mascara. However, in terms of sustainability and carbon emissions, I actually think that this is a mindset that I need to address myself.
Traditionally, weighty has always meant luxury, but maybe we need to redefine what luxury feels like, in the age of sustainability. Even though it is plastic, lighter in weight surely means better things in terms of the carbon footprint? It’s something that I’d love to hear your thoughts on. Anyway, packaging aside, allow me to get into the review.

Lancome Lash Idole Review
This is a lovely mascara that very quickly delivers lifted and lengthened lashes with refined volume. It is easy to use and the curved brush allows me to place the lashes exactly where I want them.
I find that the first layer is very light yet defining. It curls and fans the lashes very effectively and looks pretty really quickly. In my experience, the mascara formula dries quickly so you have to work fairly fast if you want to still be able to move the lashes around. But you can still build volume once the first coat is set, without the formula clumping.
The hold and coverage is nice and longwearing and I didn’t notice any significant flaking or dropping. It is light and comfortable on the lashes, and pretty easy to remove with a bi-phase makeup remover, I have been using the classic Bi-facil from Lancome* which I love, however, the Nivea Double Effect Eye Makeup Remover is also great for this.
All in all, this is a great new mascara and I think you’ll love it. If you are looking for a more affordable option, the new Maybelline Sky High is excellent and very lengthening. I have a full review on that coming up soon.
