Benefit Gilded

Benefit once again! The main reason that I have so much of this makeup is because they're great to get me as presents for birthdays and christmas, as I'm almost guaranteed to love it, so many people do get me it. I got this particular gold eyeliner for my birthday last November, and it's almost as long as it was when I bought it even though I use it almost daily. *Use* You apply this eyeliner just like any other pencil liner: draw it along the lower and upper lash lines until there's as much on as you desire, or you might just want to apply it on the lower lid if you don't want to go for the more natural look. I find that running the pencil along my ...  Read the complete review

Benefit have done it again! I am a self-confessed Benefit addict and I love the colour gold so naturally I had to try Gilded. It is marketed as a multi purpose pencil product for the face. I have used Gilded on my eyes, cheeks (as a highlighter) and on my lips under clear gloss for a little gold shimmer.

I have brown eyes and when I used this product as an eyeliner I ...  Read the complete review

I have very sensitive skin and normally stick just to YSL makeup. However, I was persuaded into buying this from the slightly pushy make up lady on the counter of my local Boots store.

I tend to wear this just on a night time and apply a couple of times to get a real gold look around my lower and ...  Read the complete review

Benefit likes to promote this as another of their multi-purpose products, though I must admit I only use this on my eyes. This doesn't really show up that well on my lips as a liner, as my lips are quite pigmented anyway, so I've just stuck with using it as eye colour. This looks pretty either on the lid as a nice everyday soft golden look, or on the brow bone as a highlight, when used in conjunction with brown/golden eye colours. I don't like to use it on my cheeks, as this is a pencil and needs to be drawn on, which then results in me having to pull and tug at my skin to get it spread out evenly. I hate pulling at my skin anyway, so try and avoid doing this. ...  Read the complete review
