Benefit They're Real! Magnet Mascara

Product Information

One coat later and I was pretty impressed. If I was going out of the house I would definitely go in with another coat or two, as the mascara definitely focuses on length over volume (thanks to the magnetic fibres which cling to the ends of your lashes as you pull the wand away).By the evening, there was a slight transfer on my eyelids, which I usually expect as my skin can be quite oily. However, the staying power was proved by the removal process, requiring a little more elbow grease and good faith to remove all traces.

lala1211 Excited at first but then....raccoon eyes :( The product really made my lashes pop and look much more dramatic and full but then literally after about 30 minutes of just getting dressed, I noticed it started to flake and add it some major raccoon eyes underneath and I was so disappointed. The brush is sharp but I feel like that was super helpful to get the application right. But just to have that small bit of time of great lashes wasn't worth it to me :( For full disclosure, I’m a big and bold lash type gyal. In fact, I like my lashes as dramatic as a good Hollywood movie, with a touch of reality of course. However, I hate faffing with falsies, so I spend a lot of time hunting for new mascaras that will give me maximum volume and curl with minimal effort. I’m a fan of Benefit mascaras and my expectations were very high, because if we’re talking ‘They’re Real!’ but better, I know we are about to hit iconic grounds. Every once in a while, we come across a beauty product that we instantly know is in a league of its own; exceeding our every expectation and then some, these attention- holders are so darn good we’ve come to sum them up in just three words: Need. It. Now. That’s it, that’s all it takes to let Team Cult Beauty know they’re in the presence of greatness: the kind of product we buy in twos so we don’t run out, the formula that our friends never hear the end of. Well, { Benefit} has just blessed us with one of those very arrivals…danicag14 Length for days This mascara adds clime and length. Curls lashes nicely while separating for a more lengthy yet natural look. I would definitely recommend using this mascara.

The brushes: The OG They’re Real! brush had an hourglass shape with long plastic bristles and a custom-domed tip that targets tiny lashes. In contrast, the new They’re Real! Magnet brush is straight and has much shorter plastic bristles that easily grab lashes and allow you to get right to the root.The wear: Our lashes stayed looking full and lifted all day, and the formula never felt dry, heavy, or uncomfortable. However, the formula does tend to smudge. When we baked under our eyes, we didn’t see any smudging along the lower lash line until after about six hours, but when we didn’t set our makeup with powder, we did see more smudging after just a few hours. If you tend not to have oily skin, then you might not have any smudging at all. When it comes to mascara, I look for something lengthening, curling and that doesn’t smudge throughout the day. The force of the magnet is subtle, so you can't feel it working — but you can see the results immediately. I usually spend loads of time trying to get my brush into every little nook and cranny of my eye, but the magnetic pull of this formula against the brush does all of that for me. So not only do my lashes look longer and fuller than normal, I can get them that way in a fraction of the time. We were immediately impressed with the formula and how effortlessly it coated our lashes. Even after layering it through our lashes just a few times, we had impressive length. It also kept our lashes well separated, and they didn’t clump together.

How it works: Custom-designed zig-zag bristles are strategically positioned to fan out, separate, and define lashes, while the magnetic formula helps to extend your lashes by up to 40%! A mascara that lengthens and provides volume that isn’t clumpy; spidery-looking lashes give me the shudders!While the brush's magnetic center is a standout feature (they're actually working to patent the technology in the EU and the U.S.), there are a few other design characteristics worth pointing out. The mascara's custom-engineered brush also boasts soft zig-zag bristles that allow it to comfortably glide through your lashes and lift them. The development team also spent time innovating the mascara's wiper. Customized to the brush, you're guaranteed to get the right amount of product on the brush every time you pull it out of the tube, without having to worry about mess, excess, or clumps.

It’s very easy and fast to work with and we loved the lift and length it gave. Even though it does smudge sometimes, it hasn’t stopped us from using it, and we love it as an everyday mascara. Will we be buying the OG They’re Real! Mascara again? We feel kinda bad, but we love the new version so much more, simply for the fact it builds up so fast and adds way more lift and length. However, if you do prefer a more natural-looking, fluffy lash, then you may prefer the original. The length it gave my lashes, it was like magic! Where did they come from? I genuinely believe the effect this mascara gives is like an LVL lash lift!
