I've been not-so-patiently waiting for Benefit to launch their new They're Real Push Up Liner for months. The built up excitement was killing me, so when the product was finally available at Sephora I scooped it up very quickly! I love Benefit products, with my most favourite being They're Real Mascara, so I knew I would fall hard for this new eye liner.
Usually, gel liner comes in a pot-and-brush combo which can result in your liner drying out due to air exposure. Benefit has figured out a way to put a gel liner into a pen, which will make this product last longer and go on a lot more smoothly. They've also created the accuflex applicator tip that gently pushes your eye lashes away from your lash line. It's matte black, goes on as whatever your desired thickness may be, and lasts all day. Creating a winged eye is easy with this liner too, and there are many tutorials online, see here and here.

I love this product and am so glad Benefit put years of research and development into perfecting this liner. Of course there are cons, but to me they're only minor. There is a learning curve to this product. When I first tried it I failed so dramatically that I had to re-do both eyes at 7:30am. It's also very hard to remove, as is They're Real Mascara. To combat this Benefit also came out with a makeup remover specifically for these products, which I will be purhchasing at my next Sephora haul. Because it's so difficult to remove it requires focus to apply this liner, but once you've mastered the technique it's almost fool proof!
My recommendation: if you love makeup as much as I do, purchase this product! You won't regret your decision.
