Birchbox Breakdown

For a fresh take on your usual nighttime look, switch it up with Lancôme’s Hypnôse Star mascara. With its glossy black diamond finish, the formula gives us an easy way to achieve the look of the old school Hollywood starlet. Trust us, you’ll feel oh-so-glamorous (just don’t let it get to your head).

How it Works

It’s all about the wand, people. The ingenuity of this mascara brush lies in its two-sided shape. The flat side ensures an even coat of mascara and boosts volume, particularly at the lash line). The round side is designed for shaping, separating and lengthening.

How to Use

Start with the flat side of the brush. Apply at the lash line for instant fullness and work upwards in a zig-zagging motion. Then use the round side of the brush to comb through lashes, starting at base and zig-zagging upwards to separate and lengthen. Bonus: the formula is safe for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers.

smells strong...

I would recommend this mascara except the smell is really strong. It has a rose fragrance and i usually wave the stick around before applying it on my lashes. If not, my face would smells like roses for hours..

Makes Beautiful Lashes

I love this mascara. Birchbox sent me a Lancome Hypnose drama sample and I went to purchase full size and this one caught my eye. It works amazing! Your lashes look so incredibly long and you can control the volume you want. Only downside- I wish it was waterproof because I can't were it on the lower lash line without it sliding down. Over all, great product.

Best mascara for color, shape, and longevity

Mascara is my only everyday makeup and I consider myself a bit of an expert. (I have platinum blonde lashes, so I spend a few minutes each morning making my lashes visible. I've been doing this for some time now.) Over the years I've experimented with variations in mascara darkness, viscosity, longevity in the tube, longevity on the lash, and brush utility. Lancome Hypnose Star is the best on all fronts.

Love this!

I got this mascara as a sample and really loved it. I am pretty picky about mascara, but this did a nice job of giving length and volume without clumping or smearing. Washes off easily when I want it gone. I usually love my drugstore brand, and can't believe I'm actually contemplating paying the full price to get this one again!

eh

I bought this expecting great things, and was underwhelmed. My lashes got all clumpy and the product itself was clumping up on the brush. Several times I had to take off my eye makeup and start over because the mascara made such a mess.

Lovely Product

I really enjoy Lancom Hypnose Star. The brush is amazing, it doesn't flake off during the day, and comes off easily with normal makeup remover. I was even shocked that it smells pretty good. I only wish it came in brown/black.

Hypnose Star is my FAVORITE mascara ever!

I was so excited to get this sample and since then i have purchased it twice and i love it. It goes out without clumping and it doubles the length and size of your lashes, so nice!

Lashing mascara

I am always looking for the right mascara to use since I am very picky on what products I use. This mascara helps your lashes look longer and fuller.

clumpy lashes

i liked the color but it clumped my lashes! and it was too difficult to wash off at night. i had to use cold cream to clean them and i still had residue in the am.

LOVE

This mascara makes my lashes look lush and full. It doesn't smear easily, but comes off quickly with soap and water. I'll definitely be buying it!
