Benefit's They're Real Push-Up Eye Liner?

Stargazer77 — Tue, 23 Jun 2015 21:49:16 GMT

Has anyone tried this product? It's similar to Smashbox's new Photo Angle liner, but Benefit was first. I got a sample of brown liner with my Sephora order. I don't think I like it. I put it on an already made up face, so I will try with a fresh face and do it more carefully, but I found the application awkward. It's also easy for the liner to be gloppy I think. Is gloppy a word? My spell checker isn't yelling at me. Anyway, what did you think of this liner? Is there a learning curve where you find your groove and like it more as you use it?

No, I haven't tried this product. Brown liner is tricky IMO though. I find a new liner has a learning curve but when it is very awkward from the beginning it almost never gets better for me.

Well, I tried it again today on a fresh face. I have to be more careful and take more time when applying and it's still awkward, but the color is very nice and has good staying power. I wouldn't buy a full size, but I think I will like my sample size well enough. In any case, it's fun trying new products I wouldn't have otherwise tried.

Hi Stargazer77! This Benefit Liner was on Sephora's list of top returned items, so you are not alone.

I tried a sample of this. I did not like it. When you put it on it balls up on the end of the applicator and gets everywhere. I felt like it was very messy. Get the IT gel liner in the pot. It is soooo much better and easier to apply!

Ugh! I did not like it all. It's one of the few things I've returned. I bought it at Sephora and returned it after using it once. It was way too difficult to use and I can't imagine trying to use it before work when I'm often pressed for time. There may be a learning curve, but I wasn't willing to fuss with it. I'm sticking with my gels and pencils.
