We’ve perfected the classic cat eye with Benefit Cosmetics’ They’re Real! Push-Up Liner and made our lashes lush with They’re Real! Mascara. While there’s nothing wrong with these traditional looks — we swear by them — we flipped when we found out the brand was introducing colourful versions of our go-to products. The rich, jewel-toned hues are totally wearable and the formulas are just as easy-to-use and long-lasting as the originals. We gave some of our stand-by eye make-up colourful updates with the new shades.

Get the same lengthening and volumising effect They’re Real! Mascara gives you while making your eyes look even bigger and more awake with the indigo shade. The spiky brush lifts and separates, while coating lashes in a subtle hint of blue that makes the whites of your eyes pop. Layer multiple coats for bolder colour and apply to your bottom lashes for a slightly more dramatic effect.
Your Go-To: Classic Cat-Eye. Try: A Green Wing

The emerald shade of the liner strikes just the right balance between statement and safe, giving your regular flick a new twist. To recreate this look, glide the lash-hugging pen across the length of your lid, drawing a wing with the wide applicator. Add a coat or two of regular black mascara to create a stark contrast from the rich green.
Your Go-To: A Dark Waterline. Try: A Thick Purple Swipe

Brighten up your typical black under-eye liner ever-so-slightly with the deep plum colour. Since this is a gel formula, you won’t actually apply it to your waterline, but rather hug your bottom lash line with the AccuFlex tip, stopping about three quarters of the way to your inner eye. Then apply the liner to the top of your lid from beginning to end, connecting the two with a mini flick. Add a swipe of black mascara to pull it all together.
