Benefit They're Real! Lengthening Mascara is a prestige lengthening mascara with a custom-domed brush designed to grab lashes close to the root and lift even tiny lashes. The formula is jet black, long-wearing, and won't smudge or dry out. Apply horizontally for length and volume, or vertically for precision definition and curl. Best for those seeking dramatic lengthening with a touch of volume and lift. Works well for normal to dry lids; less ideal for very oily skin prone to mid-day smudging. Travel size (0.14 oz) offers portability at a prestige price point.
