The New Eyeliner For The Cat Flick Novice


When it comes to eyeliner I'm more of a brown, pencil liner girl. I did the whole black liner thing back in high school, no doubt applied too heavily and haven't really ventured back to it since. In the last few years since winged liner took off I came into possession of a couple of liquid liners but found them too much of a nightmare to work with. There's obviously a few of us liner 'noobs around and Benefit know this too. Last month they added two new products to their They're Real family, including an eyeliner said to solve the ultimate beauty dilemma that is lining the eyes...

Benefit 'They're Real!' Push Up Liner*-Now there's been a few reviews of this one floating around. The general consensus seems to be split either way, beauty bloggers either love it or don't. I'll admit it took me a little while to get to grips with it, which I did find a bit frustrating. However, I left it aside for a while and went back to it and now I can't get enough of this. What you have here is a gel liner in a pen. The pen itself has a rubberised, angled tip so you can get in super close to the lash line. It's not flimsy and it makes lining your eyes a lot less shaky. It does take some getting used to, especially if you're not on board the winged liner train but even I can get a liner look that is presentable. As this is a twist up product I find less is more. If you get too much product out it can be a bit more difficult to apply so you may need to get rid of the excess product. Other than that I love this! It makes winged liner so much easier to do, especially if you usually find it a chore. 

Benefit 'They're Real!' Remover*-If you've ever used Benefit's They're Real mascara you will know that it is quite a pain to remove. I'll be honest, when I first saw this product I was a bit skeptical. It really works well though! This creamy-gel based formula works almost like an oil on the eyes. It completely breaks away your eye makeup, even that stubborn mascara. I also like to apply a bit of this to a cotton bud if things get a bit messy with the Benefit liner as well. I think this is a great product, especially if you wear heavy eye makeup on a regular basis.

  1. It's good you got to grips with it - I only tried it that one time so maybe I just need another play with the liner. I really like the remover though!

    1. Yeah. It does take a bit of getting used to as I said. Maybe it's one of those things that gets better with age. Who knows. The remover is so good! I love it.

  2. I'm horrible with eyeliner, my hands are not the steadiest. I've heard good things about it and am thinking of trying it.

  3. Oh I'm currently waiting for a Benefit order to arrive, and this is what I'm most excited about. A lot of the reviews I've read have included pictures of quite a thick line, so I'm glad you mentioned that you can get quite close to the lash.
