Benefit’s recently released They’re Real! mascara is a long-wearing formula that curls, volumizes, and lengthens lashes. It’s won rave reviews, and our cousin Erum is a big fan. Here’s what she had to say:

After my Diorshow Blackout stopped working on me, I started using this mascara. I always liked Benefit’s Badgal, so I thought I’d give this one a whirl.  Once I figured out the right application method (separating and curling lashes beforehand and wiggling at the bottom when applying), it made my lashes look great! It’s very important not to over-apply though — it can start to look too thick and spider-like.
