Benefit They're Real! Push up liner





I know every blogger under the sun has done a review of this eyeliner but alas, I purchased this myself and it took me a while to take the plunge so I'm a little behind.
I won't go into too much detail as you probably know all about it, it's a gel eyeliner shoved into a tube with a nifty little nib that's supposed to make application easy for winged novices. I've been using the pen style liquid liners since the day of dawn but I'm still pretty rubbish at applying it, my right eye always decides to do a little eyelid mexican wave just as I'm about to go in for the kill, and I'm forever left with wonky lines that leave me reaching for the cotton buds.

So was They're Real sent from the eyeliner gods to give all of us no fuss flicks? Err, I'm not entirely sure to be honest. I like it don't get me wrong, but I like it for reasons that aren't application-ey. I don't know whether I'm useless at hand things (spreading butter is a nightmare for me) but I still get the uneven lines with this, and because the gel comes out in lumps you end up sort of dragging a mini black ball across your lid and hoping for the best.

The selling point for me is the staying power, once you get the hang of applying it you're left with a blacker than black line that lasts for hours. I put this on at 7am and it's still there by 7pm unmarked which is amazing as no one really enjoys touching up makeup throughout the day. I've read a few reviews where people have worn it to the gym and it still refuses to budge.

I've not had much of an issue removing it either, the chap in the Carnaby Street store tried his very best to get me to buy the They're Real Remover but I was having none of it, baby lotion till the day I die on that front, and it works every time.

Have you tried they're real yet? What did you think?
