Benefit Get Bent Mascara

Average member rating of 6.0

Rated a 6.0
Benefit's Get Bent Lash mascara does almost everything it claims to do. The angled brush lifts and curls stick-straight lashes well enough that a lash curler isn't necessary. The formula lengthens well and gives lashes a deep black color. But there's one huge problem: clumping. You'll wind up with huge globs of product all over lashes if you don't carefully scrape excess product off the brush before applying -- and even then, you'll still need a lash comb to separate.

      Great, but clumps a little.

      by cry5tal985 (2 reviews)
      This mascara works very well with curling my eyelashes. The only problem I have with it is it tends to clump up, so I usually dab the brush on a tissue before using it. May 8, 2008, 9:41 pm

      Is a great mascara, aside from clumping!

      by logicalharmony (8 reviews)
      This mascara does all the things that it promises and is, indeed, like a push up bra for your lashes. It helps give them volume and curl. The dark formula goes on smoothly, lasts through the day, and wears well. My only complaint is that it clumps easily. May 8, 2008, 12:42 pm

      Clumps like crazy

      by spanglishlady (10 reviews)
      I got this in a Benefit kit. I love Benefit, but found this mascara to be a total waste. The design of the brush is great, but the mascara clumps so much that it isn't worth using when I've got anything else up my sleeve. April 6, 2008, 5:08 pm

      Flakey, Smeary, Clumpy

      by makeupjunkie13 (24 reviews)
      I fell in love with how full my lashes were at first but the more I used it the clumpier the formula got. It smeared by the end of the day and flaked all over my cheek. The formula also clumped up on the brush making me having to wipe it clean all the time. L'Oreal Voluminous all the way! :) February 28, 2008, 7:18 pm

      Get This!!

      by nostephot (13 reviews)
      This is one of the best mascaras I have used. The curved brush is wonderful and the mascara itself is thick but does not clump too much and make my eyes look large but not overdone! I have had a hard time finding a better mascara at any price! December 11, 2007, 5:15 pm

      Gotta Love The Curved Brush!!

      by makeup_lover (101 reviews)
      THIS IS A GREAT MASCARA!! THE CURVED BRUSH REALLY KNOWS HOW TO GET EACH AND EVERY LASH, COATING THEM ALL VERY NICELY. IT ALSO ADDS VOLUME LEAVING YOUR LASHES WITH A NICE CURL. I'M ALWAYS LEFT PLEASED WHEN I'M FINISHED WITH MY MAKEUP. December 6, 2007, 2:55 pm

      I have used a lot of mascaras trying to get and keep a curl in my lashes, and this is the only one that has not only given them an initial curl, but has kept it going all day December 2, 2007, 12:12 pm

      I agree about the "funky" smell but almost all mascara's have an odd odor.

I like this mascara for two reasons: my eyelashes take very well to the curved brush and it helps to curl the small inner lashes near the corners of my eyes. The second reason is that I can apply this mascara several times a day and it doesn't get as clumpy as other mascaras do. Using a eyelash comb after allowing the mascara to dry is recommended.

      Like Lumpy Gravy

      by MissJodi (4 reviews)
      Seriously this mascara is ridiculous. I went on a personal "Mascara Tour" and bought every brand I could get my hands on. I usually like Benefit product, but this mascara had a funky smell, was really thick and clumpy, and would flake on my skin during the day. It was like junior high school all over again before ...

I usually like Benefit product, but this mascara had a funky smell, was really thick and clumpy, and would flake on my skin during the day. It was like junior high school all over again before I had any cosmetic skills. And the racoon eyes? Yeah, I looked GREAT that day. Do yourself a favor and try Lancome mascara. And the bent wand? Not hard to do to any wand on the market--just bend it yourself. Ta-da. October 25, 2007, 11:01 am
