Mascara Comparison Lancome Lash Idole to Lancome Monsieur Big Mascara

[@ashleys4652]

My vote would be Lancome Hypnose Drama. I like that you can literally do one coat and it gives length, and volume without clumping. Saves time. I consider one coat just 3-4 swipes per eye. Not like 50 like the lovely Lisa is doing. Lashes look beautiful, though!

[@moonkitten5934]

Right I have that one too

[@godsgirl0019]

That makes my lashes fall

[@wyomaclouss1354]

I really like the Idole mascara. Lengthens, doesn’t flake like some other mascaras tend to, looks very naturally pretty.

[@hollyashe999]

I bet layering the two... Lashes would be va va voom!!! I want to grab the smaller sizes of each type 😉

[@marleenverbauwhede906]

Since you advised the combo XXL primer + Lash Idole mascara earlier this year, I have never gone back to any other - I'm obsessed!

[@lisajmakeup]

Oh good! Thanks so much for sharing Marleen 💖

[@michellearseneau8119]

The Lancôme Monsieur mascara looks the best one your lashes, I couldn’t stop looking at how much your eye popped with that one.

[@rebeccacarleo3304]

Love that you did a comparison. Monsieur Big is my absolute favorite but I've been curious about Idole. Looks like you can't go wrong either way.

[@snakeplissken5743]

Idole is crap, belive me

[@celiari9702]

I ❤️ Monsieur. I have long sparse lashes so I love the volume it gives.

[@kerryparker8925]

I love the lash Idol and use it everyday. Like you said you can build and build and it doesn’t clump. I like the length I get and to me it’s more natural looking which I love. Thanks for recommending it.

[@lisajmakeup]

Thank you Kerry! Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

[@stephanieobrien6702]

I LOVE Monsieur Big- it is my favorite as is the lancome lash primer! also could you share the makeup that you are wearing today (eye, lip). thx!

[@leannepriddell2817]

I love Lancôme Idole! It’s one of the only mascaras I can use on my bottom lashes and not have smudging throughout the day.

[@lisajmakeup]

Yes! Thanks for sharing Leanne! 💖

[@TheMunchkinita2509]

Omgoodness I LOVE the Idole mascara but can't stand the Monsieur Big. It's literally one of the worst mascaras I've ever tried. Super clumpy and smudges like no tomorrow. However, Idole does everything I need it to. It's voluminous, holds my curl all day, lengthens and no smudging or flaking. It's kinda crazy how polar opposite they are to each other for me. Only complaint is Idole's price tag lol. I could definitely live without that!

[@lisajmakeup]

Good to know! Thanks for sharing!

[@LisaMonique]

So funny, my experience is just the opposite. Idole clumps and its goopy, and Monsieur Big is one and done quick and lovely. Plus Idole give me black smudges by end of day under my lower lashes.

[@TheMunchkinita2509]

@@LisaMonique just another example of how truly subjective makeup is, am I right?

[@debbiepayne903]

Lancôme mascaras are the best I’ve used! Hands down. I use the Primer, and use the Idole. I also use the monsieur big and the definicils. All great. Thanks for the application tip, will definitely try that!

[@user-zk8ed4kd2b]

I’m glad you did this review without curling your lashes first. Now I know that the Idole is the one for me.

[@CC12398]

Thank you for pointing that out it definitely has more of a curl

[@LisaBeetsKS]

Maybe it’s because my lashes are thick but the Monsieur Big clumps my lashes together really bad (I tried for months). I love the Lash Idole’s separation. I have never found a curler that fits my eye size and shape and the Idole curls my lashes on its own. I noticed you never used the “fluffier” side of the Idole wand, I love to finish with that side.

[@jewelssteward632]

I have thick and long lashes. So thanks for the heads up. I use idole and it is light weight and lifts the lashes and separates well. Love it 😊

[@marygillespie2028]

My lashes are rather thin, and I love what Monsieur Big does for them!

[@chrissymoss514]

Monsier Big every time for me. If I don't wear it for a while I'm always surprised when I pick it up again .... it's just so good and very reliable. I love a good battle between products, great fun Lisa, 🌸💞🌸

[@lisajmakeup]

Thank you for sharing Chrissy! 💖

[@amykirts3378]

I agree Lisa, I love them both but my daily go to is the Idole and for more WOW factor Monnsieur Big is my pick. ❤

Monsieur Big is my favorite mascara of all time!!!!

[@jmorgan5275]

Monsieur Big is one of my favorite mascaras.

[@GazeldaS]

I used to go for Definicils 30 yrs ago. Now I would say my favorite is Hypnose Drama. I didn't like Monsieur Big and I've not tried Idole. Just typing all of the Lancome names in French has my spellchecker going crazy, lol. Loved the video @LisaJ. You've been keeping me company at work while I'm doing my least favorite thing.

[@lewisbyrd7547]

Hard to pick which mascara but I love your eye shadows today, they are so pretty on you, would you mind telling me what brand & colours. I have one more question, do you ship your brushes to Canada? Thanks

[@anjanabenitha]

This is such a great video. My favourite is monsieur big. I have long, straight lashes. So, for me, volume is key. I really enjoyed this video 🙂.

[@maryburns6248]

You have to try Thrive Mascara best I've ever used..it's a tubing mascara

[@tanyawersinger2693]

What do you mean”tubing” mascara?

[@maryburns6248]

@@tanyawersinger2693 a tubing mascara means to remove all you need is to wash face or eyes w a warm washcloth...it literally comes off like small tubes. Never runs during the day, stays put and makes your lashes seem very full and long..highly recommend...it's the only thing I use over and over again, no flaking...hope this helps

[@debbierosenzweig8801]

I totally agree!! The Thrive mascara is amazing!! It lengthens& curls beautifully.

[@cynthiab9077]

Love Lash Idole! Can achieve a natural look or build to dramatic. I have to try Monsieur Big! It looked easier to build without getting clumpy. Thanks!

[@walterbenjamin1386]

Really helpful video - thanks. I always have a problem with mascara - the brush comes out covered in product that then globs onto my lashes. I try to wipe the tip on the barrel of the mascara but it never comes clean enough. Do you have a tip for this problem? Why can't mascara have a better delivery system that produces a cleaner, less gloppy brush?

[@oaklandnikki966]

I love both of these mascaras for the reasons you mention in the video. I usually buy the mini size at Ulta in both because they last a long time, and I can try a couple others out at the same time too.

[@lisajmakeup]

Thanks for sharing! 💖

[@mainecoonmomma3]

I just happened to purchase the Lancome Lash Idole recently and absolutely love it!!!! I am always looking for a new mascara that gives me fullness and length and I love this! I also like Milk Kush mascara, Ilia Fullest Volumizing and It Cosmetics Superhero mascara (but its so clumpy). Thanks for your videos - so helpful!!! I give 2 thumbs up to the Lash Idole! Great product!

[@flanamom]

I treated myself to a tube of Idole a few months ago but haven't opened it yet, since I wanted to use up a few of my already-opened mascaras first. After your stellar (as always) review, though, I might make an exception and tear into it tomorrow morning, now I can't wait! I agree, there's something just so fun about mascara, instant gratification for short, straight lashes like mine. Lash curler and Idole, here I come!

[@debbiem6406]

Thanks so much for this comparison. How would you compare them to their Hypnose Drama, or the original one?

[@catsmith7084]

[@yolandashaw370]

I love it when you do comparison videos of products to have a View of them both in real time. I totally agree, mascara is my absolute favorite make up to apply because it’s so gratifying! I’m with you, I always look down when applying mascara to truly wiggle the wand deep in the lashes. I learned it from some Seventeen or YM magazine article way waaaay back in the day and have been doing it ever cents! LOL!

[@lisajmakeup]

Lol! Yes! Thanks for sharing Yolanda 💖

[@tammyhenderson8488]

I love the Idole! My fave. I think you should try first layer with the monsieur the come behind it with the Idole. 😁 I also love that they have the travel size. Before you commit to it you can try it. I did that and totally loved it!

[@lisaferrin362]

[@godsgirl0019]

I just opened my first tube of Lash Idol tonight to try tomorrow. I’ve repeated bought the waterproof Monsuir Big. It’s beautiful but does have a tiny bit of flaking. Nothing to stop using it though

[@lsaz4378]

Not a fan of rubbery bristles so Lash Idole is not for me.,Monsier Big works so much better on my lashes.

[@kathyharper7187]

[@janemathews370]

How many swipes is one coat for you? I personally go for 2-3 swipes maximum, you seem to do like 10 per lash

[@debhauer3342]

What shadows are you wearing?

[@jackiemedeiros8019]

I have Lancome Hypnose Drama and I really like it. It has a nice fragrance. Not the "mascara" smell. Does the Lancome Lash Idole or Lancome Monsieur Big Mascara have the nice fragrance also?

[@cynthiab9077]

I consider myself to have an acute sense of smell. Lash Idole does smell like mascara, but it is faint and dissipates quickly. Worst smelling mascara ever: Lash Freak by Urban Decay!

[@roseronay873]

Hi Lisa! Question, when you use the lash primer are you supposed to let it dry and then put the mascara? Or apply the mascara when it’s still wet?

[@debbiem6406]

How does Idole compare with Tarte Lights, Camera, Lashes (which I’ve used for years)?

[@jenny9544]

I’m new to mascara. Yes I know, what? Lol. My lashes are kinda nonexistent. I had lash extensions but after a year developed an allergic reaction and can’t wear them anymore :(. Can you explain the pros and cons of the diff types of mascaras. Been hearing words like tubing, wet/dry formulas, waterproof (didn’t know waterproof helped keep your curl). Anyhow, thanks and wish I had your lashes. Gorgeous!

[@TMG56]

Hi Jenny.Thick long eyelashes are overrated. I’m sorry you had an allergic reaction to lash extensions. Your body usually rejects what isn’t natural.I’m by no means an expert but I suggest trying maybe coconut oil: apply a tiny amount ( so it doesn’t go in your eyes).There are some good KZbin channels on this topic. Hope this helps.🙂

[@jenny9544]

@@TMG56 thank you!

[@mimi_to_four7151]

Loved the look of both of them but I believe the monsieur would be better for me. I barely have any lashes and tend to not use mascara because I end up making a mess on my eyeshadow and face and it becomes a lot of work to just try to get it on the few very thin short lashes I have. Any suggestions? I have had lash extensions before but just never seemed to really get what I wanted out of them and I believe it is because I just have barely any lashes. I would appreciate any tips and tricks. I was amazed how easily and quickly you did that and it did not get on your eyeshadow or face, you the Pro! Thanks Lisa you need to come up with a mascara to go along with you BK beauty brushes that I absolutely love!

[@sarahdoanpeace3623]

Never had fake lashes and don’t want them. I want to try the Idole, I think it’d work for me. I like length and volume. And yes it tells like 15 coats of most anything, thank you! Can’t stand the “one coat” deals. Please! Another great video!

You are the very first person that I've seen apply mascara to your bottom lashes WITHOUT making the "open mouth, ugly face" 😂. TFS.

[@hulagirldeedee]

The Lancôme Cils Booster is one of my essential products. It’s better than the Dior-in my opinion. I also prefer the monsieur mascara over the idole.

[@TexasMom1776]

I think I will pick up both of these!! question on the Lancôme stick foundation…what setting powder is good to use with it? I am 59 so I have mature skin. I’ve got quite a few setting powders, loose and compact…Laura Mercier, Fenty, Becca hydra mist, No. 7, IT cosmetics, Too Face peach, Ciate London, Ofra, physicians formula, LYS, and a few others.

I love Lancôme mascaras. I think Idole is Definicles on steriods. Monsieur Big was a little flaky. You can’t beat Hynose Drama for volume without flaking. I find using the Cils primer, then Idole, and finish with the Hynose Drama gives the best effect.
