Editor Review

Rated a 6

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.

    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 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

    Gotta Love The Curved Brush!!

    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

    Excellente!

    by kellymarceau (3 reviews)
    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 does...n't get as clumpy as other mascaras do. Using a eyelash comb after allowing the mascara to dry is recommended.

    no thanks!

    by shelsbels (5 reviews)
    two words CLUMPY and FLAKY! I thought I would try this product after i used Bad Gal and liked it. I most certainly do not like this mascara. It clumped like crazy putting it on and then promptly flaked off after just a couple hours and left me looking like a raccoon. I would not buy it again. May 20, 2008, 9:27 am

    Is a great mascara, aside from clumping!

    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 (29 reviews)
    Total Beauty BloggerTrusted Review
    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 (15 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

    A new favorite

    Love it--easy to get the underside of your lashes, curls them up better than some specialty formulas. Formula does thicken quicker than others if it sits too long. September 18, 2009, 5:13 am
