Last year I did a “5 Best Benefit Products“. Since last weeks “10 Best Rimmel Products” did so well I thought it would be a good idea to update the 5 Best Benefit Products and bring you the 10 Best Benefit Products.
Face Products
Benefit Big Easy || When I first saw the Benefit Big Easy foundation I immediately pre-ordered it so that I could review it for the blog. I didn’t really know what to expect as this was my first real experience with a “liquid to powder foundation.” You can tell from my First Impression video (here) that I REALLY liked it. It quickly became one of my favorite foundations and I always have a tube of it in my collection.
Benefit Fakeup Concealer || Benefit Fakeup Concealer has quickly become one of my favorite concealers. It not only does it do a great job of concealing but the hydrating wring around the concealer is actually very hydrating, which is very important to me as I have eczema. It also works well both over and under foundation.
Powder Blush and Bronzer
Benefit Hervana Blush || I got Benefit Hervana Blush and again didn’t know what to expect, it was my first mosaic blush. Was I supposed to get a narrow brush and only take from certain sections? Was I supposed to swirl a blush? Wouldn’t that ruin it? After looking at it for awhile I just jumped in, swirled and applied. It was absolutely gorgeous! The Benefit Hervana Blush is hands down one of my favorite blushes.
Benefit Hoola Bronzer || With my skin tone, and let’s admit it chubby cheeks, bronzers can sometimes windup looking like just a streak of dirt down the side of my face. I’ve found the secret, for me, is to work with bronzers that are really easy to blend. If it has a formulation that takes buffing your face off to get it to look blended, it’s not for me. Benefit Hoola Bronzer has a super easy to blend formula which easily makes it one of my favorite bronzers.
Tints and Highlighters
Benefit High Beam || I don’t think I’ve yet gotten this in a full-size bottle. I keep getting samples in different things and the Benefit High Beam lasts so long that I always windup getting another sample size before the previous one runs out. Which is saying something for this product. I’ve tried other liquid highlighters and the Benefit High Beam is hands-down one of my favorites. Three light swipes on my cheek and then blend with either a brush or fingers and you have beautiful glowing complexion. Benefit High Beam can also be used down the nose and on the cupid bow as well.
Benefit Lollitint || The Benefit Cheek Tints are great. They can be used as either a blush or a lip tint and boy do they last! They offer several different shades; Benetint (red), Posietint (pink), Cha Cha Tint (orange), my hands-down favorite of all of them is Lollitint which is a bright pink. It adds a nice pink flush to the cheeks and is a super bright pink for the lips as well.
Boxed Sets
Benefit Feelin Dandy || Benefit has a lot of great Boxed Sets and I love them! They are a great way of trying out a bunch of different products without laying down big bucks for things you might not like. With the Feelin Dandy set I was able to try to several different products without paying full price for all of them. Which was good because the lip balms aren’t my favorite.
Eye Products
Benefit Gimme Brows || Besides Anastasia Brow Gel Gimme Brows is one of my favorite brow products. It’s super easy to just swipe the brow tint through your brows, and the wand really helps to spread it through evenly.
Benefit They’re Real Mascara || Benefit has several mascara’s currently on the market and out of thoseThey’re Real Mascara is probably the best (NOTE: this does not count the new Roller Lash Mascara as of the time of this article it is not currently out). The wand is great for not only give length and volume but also for getting the corners without having to twist a turn a huge wand to do it.
Benefit Peek A Bright Eyes || Benefit has some great eye shadows but my favorite ones are the ones that come in a kit. Again you get to try different shades, or in some kits different types, without paying full price for all of them. So far my favorite of the Benefit Box Kits for Eyes is the Peek A Bright Eyes kit. The Benefit Peek A Bright Eyes kit contains three eye shadows, the Eye Bright, and two brushes all in little box that is easy to just throw in your purse and go. Also, the mirror with the set is huge and it comes with a little pamphlet telling you the best way to apply everything.

This is really helpful. I don’t wear makeup, so I don’t even know where to begin when it comes to what to buy!
That Fakeup sounds great. I’ll have to give it a try. Thanks!
I’ve never tried a liquid to powder foundation before. I never even knew it existed!
It’s a really awesome product!
I’ve always wanted to try the Benefit products…now I have a good reason to!
Eye shadows! I love eye shadows.i don’t use make up much but when I do they are my fave make up to use!
The Benefit brow tint seems like a really nice product. I could get some use out of it!
Benefit high beam has to be my favourite highlighter, ever. And the stuff lasts forever. I have like a rollerball/mascara sized thing of it (must’ve been a promo because I haven’t seen them in that shaped bottle since).
I bought their hoola bronzer years and years ago. I need to repurchase it. I’m currently using too faced chocolate soleil, and it is making me break out š
I have the Too Faced Chocolate as well and if I’m having an eczema flare up it can irritate my skin as well. I think it might be the heavy scent that it has in it.
I don’t really have much of a favorite these days and i haven’t used this stuff yet, but I love any makeup I can use with a brush
Iām crazy about Benefit! This and Clinique are the only brands I follow for makeup!
Hi Cassie – great review on each product – it’s good to know what someone else thinks about makeup – I have put this product line on my wish list – thank you!!!
I need to get into bronzer, especially on my neck and chest because I look like a clown after I put on my face makeup sometimes. I am so white; I never tan and bronzer is pretty much the only way to give me some color lol
I have a love hate relationship with makeup- Love how it looks, hate putting it on. I think like with most things, we get bored and in a rut! Thanks for the fresh ideas! I am excited to try some new stuff!
I almost bought the Gimme Brow last night at Ulta, but bought the Anastasia Dipbrow Pomade instead, which is a really, really good product! I do love Benefit’s products, though, especially their mascara!
This sounds like a great product line. I am sure my daughter would love the eye shadows.
i love these kins of post.it helps us to know about products before we buy them.so we are sure we are not weasting our money
I’ve never tried a liquid highlighter. Now I’m curious and must may… š
So many awesome products, thanks. My favorite is the high beam, this is a life saver for me! I got the new mascara as a bonus, so I can’t wait to try it.
I’m clueless when it comes to make-up. myself. There’s so much out there and it all looks so fun and neat. Maybe someday I’ll figure it out.
Liquid to powder, huh…never heard of that. Would love to try this sometime. I don’t use a lot of makeup but do like it to be good makeup when I do use it. Thank you for sharing.
Gah, I’ve got to try out so many of these things. My collection, like my budget, is quite limited. I think I make due alright but I’m always checking out all kinds of products that I would really love whenever I go shopping. Goal gifts!! š
I don’t wear makeup. Only lipstick and lip gloss. My sister would be glued looking at those products though. š
I’ve never used a bronzer before. In fact, I’m not really sure I know the difference between a blush and a bronzer. I may look into it … it sounds interesting.
These look like some of the best makeup and cosmetic products I have seen out in the market.
I’ve never heard of this product line until this post, so thank you for introducing me. I like the foundation that goes to a powder, it eliminates the need for both. I will have to look more in to that.
Every woman wants! My wife would love to check this out. I think she would love it.
I haven’t tried the benefit products listed here except for the benefit lip and cheek tint and I love it.
The Benefit Fakeup concealer sounds awesome. To have a moisturizer built in is nice. I have been putting on a moisturizer on after my concealer. This is perfect!
These look nice. I am going to check this out because I’m always on the look out for makeup to add to my cosmetic bag.
