These days it's all about winged liner!! I hate to admit - I am not the very best at it. Somewhere down the journey of life, I stopped applying liquid eyeliner and lost the art of a smooth artistic wing. I generally don't wear make up every single day so that hasn't helped my rusty hand. With the growing trend of defined cat eyes, I also was on the market for a way to restart using eyeliner whether it be liquid or gel. I just wanted something that was easy to get the hang of after my long sabatical.
I had been receiving marketing emails from Benefit and there was a lot of hype about their latest release They're Real Push-Up Liner, which stated that it was foolproof and was a gel based liner. When it released in Saudi, I headed to Sephora and purchased it!
I was so excited to say the very least and had high expectations due to the claims they had made. As soon as I came home, I tried the product. After numerous twists, finally the product was released. I began to apply it to my eye and found it to be a bit difficult. The rubber edge that they say will make it easy to apply; actually was a hindrance in my opinion. I couldn't tell if I needed more liner or not. The gel would clump up and when I would want to fix that part the line was just getting thicker.
However, after a few days of trying, I gave it a rest. After a month, I decided to give it a go once more - but it didn't end well. I had stored it along with my make up in an Air Conditioned room and after applying it, I started feeling slight burning on my eyelids which gradually was increasing. I was trying to make the most out of it, but it was so bad that I just had to go wash it off. My eyelids were swollen and sore which prevented me from wearing any eye make up for two days.
I wonder what happened to the formula!!
For me, this product is sadly a FLOP. On the flip side, I will continue to purchase Benefit's products .. this is not the be all and end all!! I sure do love their blushes and lipsticks!!!
What do you guys think? Is it a good eyeliner? Let me know your experience with it!
Cheers and talk to you very soon!!
Love,
