About this deal

As self-proclaimed make-up addicts, Benefit is a brand we’ve held in high regard for many years and its range of Benefit mascara is often rated highly by experts and influencers alike. With the amount of mascaras out there, it would be silly to assume that there would never be two similar wands in this world - after all, there are only so many variations of brushes and formulas one can create. Coming in very close to Roller Lash is the brand-new Fan Fest. Buildable colour, long-lasting, and great lift. It just missed out on the top spot for not giving quite as much volume and length. However, with several varieties on offer, all claiming to add more volume, length, definition and general flutter than the last, how is one supposed to narrow it down? That’s where we come in!

Really Good Mascara” Had before , really like this mascara & just thought it sounded a good price. I would recommend this.

Will you be claiming the VAT back?

Having tried everything from lash extensions to lash lifts, falsies and curlers, plus well over 100 mascaras in our time, this is hands-down the best mascara we’ve used. Not just the best Benefit mascara, but the best mascara. Period. JFDa Good brush I like this mascara as the brush is a good shape for my sparse eyelashes. Pity it isn't in brown.

And I haven't even mentioned the other innovative thing about this mascara: the "wiper." Do you ever pull a mascara brush from its tube and think, "Holy shit, that's way too much," so you've got to wipe half of it off? For They're Real! Magnet Mascara, Benefit made the opening of its tube slightly smaller than necessary so that it scrapes away all the excess product from the brush as it's being pulled out. DW Used to love it Something changed! It snugged and flakes now. Raccoon eyes. I've switched to other Benefit mascaras which I prefer now. Bad girl and Curl. It features a plastic curved wand that was super easy to get right down to the roots. It really only needs one coat but it still layered well for high-drama, evening looks.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.

During our month-long, Benefit mascara tests, there was a very clear winner and that was Roller Lash. Charlotte1238 Messy really wanted to like this, it smudges really easily and transfers onto my eyelids. Had people constantly pointing this out to me, replaced with a cheaper drugstore one for half the price that is much better which was frustrating as it was only a week old It provided unrivalled volume whilst also adding length and we found one coat was enough, but it was still possible to add a second coat. In our real-world tests, we found this Benefit mascara needed a few layers to really get the dramatic effect we like, although it does build and layer well. On the plus side, it was easy to remove, something that can be a deal-breaker when you just want to fall into bed at night, and reduce damage to your lashes and sensitive skin around your eyes. We didn’t think that another Benefit mascara, or any mascara for that matter, could rival the Roller Lash and while it fell slightly short, the new Benefit Fan Fest very nearly managed it.

Where do we even start? We LOVE Benefit’s Roller Lash mascara and it was a clear winner from the very first use. Perfect coverage, curls that out-delivered even our best eyelash curler efforts, length, definition, long-lasting colour…we could go on about this Benefit mascara for weeks. BADgal Bang was also a close contender, especially suited to those who like a full-on look with lots of volume or the braver among us who like the idea of the bright blue option.

Case in point: Aldi's latest lash builder, Too Legit Mascara, looks suspiciously similar Benefit's They're Real - and when we say similar, we mean it's a dead ringer dupe and we have a lot of questions.We’ve spent the past month putting Benefit mascaras to the test – in various colours – to bring you a definitive guide on how they perform and which is the best Benefit mascara around. The ranking is missing the Benefit They’re Real! Magnet mascara as there was a problem with our sample but we’ll be adding this to the mix ASAP. Too Legit, is described as "long-lasting" and will add "curl, definition and dramatic length and volume to your lashes. Perfect for everyday or evenings out." You can see the full list of what’s inside the 2023 Benefit calendar here, but in terms of mascara it includes: WANT MORE GROUP TESTS?
