Well, much to my surprise, L’Oreal Paris False Lash Sculpt actually does work! The premise of this mascara and yet another re-invention of the mascara brush is to tightline your lashes while coating them. Tightlining means – in this instance – getting a black line between the lashes so that your lash row looks like one continuous line of black with no natural skin colour. I love tightlining – I use the Laura Mercier method of wetting a black powder and nudging into the lash line with a flat edge brush. The results are spectacular.
However, if you’re hoping for the results as above, in the L’Oreal Paris False Lash Sculpt official pictures, dream on! When testing, I did get the mascara to tightline but I had to have several goes and it seems the key to success is speed. Initially, I focused too much on jamming the brush at the lash root so ended up with clumpy roots (but a decent tightline), moving to a lighter stroke where the tightline was less obvious but the actual lash definition result was better. So, the good result comes somewhere in the middle, and unless you are a mascara genius, you won’t get it right first time.
Although I like the look of the mascara when it’s on (and I’ve got it right), my lashes felt quite brittle with the coating; it’s not a soft formula at all. However (and luckily!), it does remove quite easily.
If you’re feeling experimental, L’Oreal Paris False Lash Sculpt has a price drop already from £9.99 to £5.99 HERE. Good luck!

I saw the advert, the shape of the brush, and thought this was a new level of silliness & blindness-inducing brush shape. Glad to hear you can actually achieve some results!
I just a Marc Jacobs pencil for tightlining- it’s the only pencil I’ve found that will stay on with my watery eyes. My first time tightlining with it though I managed to draw onto my contact lens! It’s so waxy and good at staying put that I had to really clean my lens!!
I can’t help but feel like it would be easier to actually just tightline with a brush or pencil. I fear I’d probably lose an eye with this method. It’s good to see it’s a decent formula though. x

I have seen quite a few YouTubers use it and I am curious, but I find I can achieve a tighlined look with most mascara wands anyway . . .but, maybe that is just me. Thank you for your thoughts, I hate fussy makeup products. Their Telescopic mascara is pretty brilliant though.
