makeup look featuring Benefit's THEY'RE REAL! mascara

A while back (an embarassing amount of time back, if we're being honest) I got a sample size of Benefit's They're real mascara from Sephora for my birthday. 

I created a look with this mascara but before I could post it, my computer was dunzo (10+ points if you get that reference)...but now it's finally here!

Feast your eyes on a purple eyeshadow look I did featuring They're Real!

As you can see, this mascara CERTAINLY adds length. It does tend to get "spidery" which isn't my faorite thing. But honestly, it's a really great product. When I put on my Maybelline mascara first and then layer They're Real on top, I seem to like it better!
You can find They're Real at Sephora where it retails for $23
They usually also have a mini size available for about $10

For this look I did something different. Usually I just do a smokey eye or some variation of it. But this time I kept it super simple and just did one color on the lid and one color on the upper lid/crease. I have to say, I love how quick and easy it was!!

Now I'll walk you through the products I used!


First and foremost of course I started with Urban Decay primer potion. I never put makeup on without it!
Next I applied the shade (pictured below) from my Profusion palette all over the lower part of my lid
After that I swept some Nyx eyeshadow in frosted lilac.
I used the far left color in the Nyx eyeshadow trio to highlight my browbone and inner corner, then used the middle color to fill in my eyerbows
I did curl my lashes before applying They're Real, using my Forever 21 eyelash curler
I put Maybelline eyestudio gel liner on my bottom lash line only
then sprayed my face with Urban Decay's all nighter setting spray, my go-to for keeping my makeup on all night!


So that's a quick look I did when going to a friend's birthday. It was a while ago so sorry if some of this seems vague! You know I can't keep my head on straight. 

Follow your bliss,

  1. Seems like you got a lot of length. I have this mascara too and I like it. I like the eye shadow color you have on, I just did a makeup loo on my blog as well.
