Is this mascara better for length or volume?

Length. The fibers and comb brush are built to extend and separate lashes, and it adds less volume than L'Oréal's volume-focused mascaras.

Is it safe for sensitive eyes and contact lenses?

L'Oréal says the formula is ophthalmologist tested and suitable for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers.

Does it hold a curl all day?

L'Oréal claims sculpted curl for up to 24 hours. The washable formula holds a curl well for many wearers, though heavy or oily lids may see it drop sooner.

What is the difference between the washable and waterproof versions?

The washable formula removes with warm water and regular makeup remover. A waterproof version resists tears and humidity better but needs an oil-based remover.

How do I apply it without clumps?

Wiggle the comb through from root to tip in one slow pass and avoid pumping the wand into the tube, which loads the brush with excess formula.

Our take on the L'Oreal Paris Extensionist Mascara Lengthening Mascara

Extensionist is a lengthening and curling mascara built around a sculpting comb brush with 300 bristles that separates lashes as it lifts them. The formula pairs magnetic pigments with lengthening fibers, and L'Oréal claims up to 24-hour wear with lashes appearing up to 5 mm closer to the brows. It is ophthalmologist tested and aimed at sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers. Against volume-first mascaras like L'Oréal's own Lash Paradise, it trades bulk for definition and separation, so it suits people who want a fanned, lash-extension look rather than thick lashes.
