Products Reviews

Benefit Roller Lash Mascara

Good housekeeping’s senior beauty editor caroline brien loves benefit’s roller lash mascara, “as you can really ditch the lash curler”.

“the brush is molded with tiny ‘hooks’ so coverage looks very even and there’s amazing curl,” she says. “plus, it’s also curved just right to give a pretty lift along the lash line. It’s never smudged on me either! ”

Benefit Hoola

Good housekeeping’s senior beauty editor alice manning is a big fan of benefit’s cult bronzer, saying “i love hoola”.

This matte bronzing powder brightens up even pale complexions. Dust it over your cheeks, chin and forehead for a natural-looking, healthy glow.

Benefit Brow Zings Brow Shaping Kit

Benefit’s brow shaping kit received a score of 91/100 from the good housekeeping institute, with testers praising it for being easy to apply.

Available in six shades, it includes a soft and pigmented eyebrow shaping wax as well as a setting powder and two targeted brushes. That said, some testers found that the soft brushes made it difficult to get a sharp finish.

Benefit FoolProof Eyebrow Powder

Benefit’s brow powder is designed to help achieve natural-looking fullness, and the good housekeeping institute’s testers agreed that it delivers a natural, defined result.

The product received a score of 89/100, with testers saying it was easy to use, stayed put all day and noting that the colour blended easily.

Benefit the POREfessional Primer

Testers loved its durability with the majority agreeing that it was easy to use and didn’t make their skin look oily or shiny.

Benefit Boi-ing Hydrating Concealer

Thegood housekeeping institute gave benefit boi-inghydrating concealer a score of 69/100, praising it for feeling moisturising on the skin and blending easily.

However, some testers thought coverage didn’t last all day and felt the texture was too slippery.
