There’s a reason why Benefit’s They’re Real! Lengthening Mascara has long held the No. 1 spot for the company’s bestselling product. It will always be my favorite addition to my makeup bag, and one I recommend to anyone desperately in search of long, full lashes.
To widen and brighten your eyes this summer, make the mascara apart of your morning routine. The brush bristles are spaced far apart, which helps with those annoying clumps that can make your lashes gooey. Each one is also designed at varying lengths to hit any areas of the lash you might have missed. The product tends to cover the entire brush, coming out of the tube thick for full coverage on the entirety of your eyelash. My favorite part is the formula is intended for all-day use, so I rarely get smudges or drying out late in the afternoon.
For eyes that really go the distance, I spend a little more time swiping the mascara—sometimes so much they even look fake. If you’re in a hurry, just one coat also works. On birchbox.com, They’re Real! Mascara is the top-rated product. If you haven’t joined the thousands of others in love with the Benefit product, I highly suggest you do.
And if you’re a serious superhero fan, you can even score the mascara in the Benefit x Wonder Woman makeup kit inspired by the new movie. Or, you can shop the mascara online here.
