Lancôme, a French cosmetic brand, has been ruling for more than 80 years now. What’s interesting, the establisher of this brand was inspired to create the very first cosmetic line while talking a walk in a garden of a French castle. And this is why rose has become the logo of Lancôme. Also, it’s estimated that every second there are two Lancôme mascaras sold. This brand’s most popular cosmetic is Hypnose mascara launched in 2004. Its more intensive version is named Hypnose Drama.
brush: very big, thick, slightly curved, with soft and stiff bristle
effects: thickening and volume boost
Mascara that is supposed to add body to lashes. Action delivered by Lancôme Hypnose Drama is confirmed by many consumers. They agree that the effect of beautifully enhanced eye is possible to obtain thanks to this beauty product. This outcome is owned to the lash thickening features as well as very intensive and deep colour. However, Hypnose Drama gives rise to a little bit of controversy. Some consider this cosmetic as a kind of market leader that belongs to lash volume boost products category, whereas others have objections to this mascara’s performance.
Among all the comments concerning Lancôme Hypnose Drama, the most frequently mentioned are the ones connected with the lifespan of the mascara; it’s said to flake off after a few minutes since being applied (although it doesn’t cause any problems with application). Also, some consumers underline the problem of clumped eyelashes. Unskilful application of the mascara makes lashes more and more clumped together with every coat applied. The conclusion is that one simply has to learn how to apply Hypnose Drama in order to get the looked-for effect.
When it comes to Lancôme applicator, it’s an interesting combination of soft and stiff bristle. It isn’t silicone and its bristle is very thick. Flat shape facilitates grabbing all lashes and coating them evenly. Some consumers state that this applicator is hard to wield and it makes lashes clump together. Others claim that despite the brush being weird, there are no problems with applying the mascara.
Actually, the issue with the applicator of Hypnose Drama by Lancôme is connected with the type of brush we are used to. Therefore, if we have been using only classic brushes so far, this mascara might appear to be rather problematic and encourage clumped lashes. However, if our hand is skilful enough to wield asymmetric brushes, the effect of bold and defined lashes may astonish. Nevertheless, this doesn’t mean that the formula of Lancôme Hypnose Drama is efficient because it isn’t. To make matters even worse, many women confirm that the mascara starts getting denser and denser after a month since opening.
