A smudge-proof high street mascara given Kate Middleton’s royal seal of approval is currently at its lowest price over at Boots.
We’re always on the hunt for whatever the Princess of Wales uses for her flawless beauty looks. Fortunately, they aren’t all pricey designer brands, as she is reportedly a fan of the Lancôme Hypnôse Custom Wear Volumising Mascara.
It’s been said that Kate has been using this “smudge proof” and “thickening” mascara “for years”, alongside many of the brand’s other products. If you want to nab the cult-mascara for yourself, it’s currently on offer at Boots where it has been reduced from £29 to £19.
This is actually the cheapest you can get the royal’s favourite mascara for, as Lookfantastic has it reduced to £23.20. Meanwhile, over at Amazon, the popular beauty product is still full-price, making Boots the best value at the moment.
The best thing about this buildable mascara is that it works to increase your lash volume “by up to eight times”. The SoftSculpt formula won’t leave your lashes dry and brittle, as the use of ProVitamin B5 leaves then feeling “soft” and “supple, with no weigh down.
It’s not just Kate who is reportedly a fan of this cult Lancôme Mascara, as it boasts a 4.7 rating and 96 percent approval rating from Boots shoppers who have fallen in love with its “lightweight” formula that they say “lasts all day”.
One glowing review read: “Doesn’t smudge throughout the day! Really lightweight and not clumpy.”
A second delighted customer wrote: “Makes my lashes full thick and long and doesn’t smudge or flake off. Plus it is easy to remove.”
Another thrilled beauty fan said: “Great mascara. Have used this on and off for years but keep coming back to it. Stays in place all day without smudging or running – still in place after a workout.”
Someone else penned: “I’ve been using this mascara for years and think it’s the best on the market. I often get asked if I’m wearing false eyelashes. You can choose to apply more or fewer layers for a more or less dramatic effect.”
Not everyone believed that the mascara lived up to the hype, as one three-star review read: “I’ll be honest, I expected great things and it just wasn’t as good other cheaper mascaras I’ve tried. It was ok and didn’t clump up. It gave a mediocre curl to my eyelashes, but not much volume.”

It’s not the only beauty product from Lancome that Kate is rumoured to be a fan of. The Princess of Wales also reportedly uses the Genifique Ultimate Serum, currently on offer for £56, down from £70, for a 30ml at Boots.
However, if you’d like to recreate her fluttery lashes, you can buy the Lancôme Hypnôse Custom Wear Volumising Mascara for £19 from Boots here.
For another celeb-approved option, then Maybelline’s Lash Sensational Sky High Mascara is currently just £8.29 for Amazon shoppers. Just a few names that have loved this mascara include Euphoria actress Sydney Sweeney and supermodel Sofia Richie.
Meanwhile, Charlotte Tilbury’s new Exagerr-Eyes Volume Mascara is a favourite of supermodel Jourdan Dunn. Costing £28, this lengthening mascara is said to be long-wearing against smudging, sweat, humidity and flaking.
