I am in my late teens/early 20's with oily, fair tone skin and blue eyes. My hair is unknown, oily with normal texture.
I have bought this mascara many times and have received compliments too. It’s a very well made product not only giving length but staying power volume too. The consistency is buildable and I would recommend waiting a minute and then putting another layer and then waiting a minute and another layer. The brush is clever and strong. You can teach all the lashes and brush both vertically and horizontally and brushing horizontally on the lower lashes works a charm too but I tend to wipe off excess before doing so to give a natural look to the lower lashes . A fantastic long lasting product that doesn’t flake or smudge in the heat. To remove, I dampen two cotton pads and add some micellar water and hold over each eye. I then soften the mascara to start removing, this way you don’t damage the delicate skin around the eyes or tug at your lashes. Beautiful product to create beautiful lashes.

benefit really did hit the nail on the head with this mascara, the brush if brilliant for getting every single lash, and the little ball of bristles on the end makes it even easier to get those awkward corner lashes

I really love benefits bad gal bang and roller lash mascara so I decided to give this one a try. It’s definitely not my favourite of the three(bad gal is my top mascara) but it does have a look of good qualities. I noticed my lashes were drastically longer and lifted after two coats and they didn’t stick together which is a huge plus for me. I haven’t noticed any smudging or flaking so far but I’ve only used it for about a week. I’m not keen on the shape of the wand as it’s quite ‘jaggy’ so you need to be extra careful applying this mascara, particularly on the bottom lashes. As always, I recommend grabbing the travel size version first if you’re wanting to try it out before splashing out on the full size.

This is my holy grail mascara LOVE IT🥰 I sometimes think the wand is partly why I love it.... but.. i hate roller lash! Got a bad gal lash I haven't opened yet so I need to try it. I know loads of people love roller lash but it doesn't seem to do anything for me 🤷♀️😃
@Rachtb Bad gal is probably in my top three mascaras, but the wand is a lot thinner than they’re real which is why I like it haha! I’m super
clumsy and the amount of times I’ve poked my eye with mascara is ridiculous 😂🤦♀️ Roller lash just gave me a really nice lift and curl, I love how people's opinions vary from product to product! ❤️☺️
I received a sample of this mascara with a magazine and it really does lengthen my lashes, I even had someone ask if I was wearing false lashes! It doesn’t flake or smudge either and is easy to remove, love it and yes I bought the full size!

Having watched Lisa Potter Dixon on YouTube and QVC UK, I think I can use the wand correctly. I have found with all Benefit Mascaras one dip in the tube covers both lower and upper eyelashes of both eyes. I only dip again if I want to apply a second coat which is not often. As always, I use the wand horizontally to cover all my lower lashes, then my upper lashes one eye at a time. After covering all my lashes, I turn the wand vertically, shouting in my head ‘Go vertical’ – if you have watched LPD you will understand, and swipe again along the upper lashes from root to tip paying attention to the outer corner lashes to make sure I have covered all my lashes. As always when applying any mascara, I have a cotton bud or BeautyBlender handy to make sure that I can remove any mascara that has transferred to by my eyebrow. I usually use the black but again from LPD I tried the blue one recently and loved it. It made my hazel eyes look greener. I will be purchasing either again soon.

I quite like this mascara, it’s definitely something I reach for to blend in my natural lashes with my falsies or if I want to lengthen my eyelashes but not too much. It’s great alongside natural makeup in my opinion, it doesn’t look clumpy and separates the eyelashes. Only problem is that the tube dries out quickly which isn’t the best.

This mascara does an amazing job of lengthening and volumising my lashes. Only downside for me is although I have long lashes already I need a good few coats of it to make my lashes look thicker. Other than that I Genuinely love it

Would buy this again although only fault is it dries out quickly. however i could not use any other product now as this have worked perfectly. lengthens your lashes like a dream and helps them become more bold and the applicator is perfect, my lashes are never clumpy when using this
