This is best I have ever used.
I have used this for several years. Occasionally i try some other brand, but always go back to it. Only criticism is that it gets dry and clumpy sooner than I think it should, but I have found heating a glass of water in microwave and then placing the tube in the glass solved this. People have asked me if I have false eyelashes. Like the tiny bristles at the end.

This used to be a good product
I bought this numerous times when it was a 'Mascara Primer' and it was fabulous. The brown color was perfect, it never clumped, and never flaked. This latest iteration is too black, it clumps badly and flakes all over the place. I will not buy it again!

Love this mascara!
I was surprised how much I love this product. I saw that it was for length and it definitely shows when I use it. Especially on my bottom lashes.

They're Real Mascara
My eye lashes are blond and short and this mascara makes me look good all the time. I've been buying it for several years and highly recommend it. However, this is the only product I buy from the Ulta store. I have never seen this mascara available anywhere else. Bonnie, Irving, TX I am trying to rate it with the 5th star but I don't think it's taking.

Classic beauty
They're real isn't just a mascara… it's bottled length and volume to apply when you need to wake your face up. Easy to apply, easy to remove. Stunning…

Oh, well, another one bites the dust
I've used They're Real primer and black mascara for years, bought a new tube a few months ago. It always winds up under my eyes and it tends to clump going on. Drugstore brands are better than this.

Holy Grail Mascara, best brush applicator!
I love Benefit mascaras, I used to be addicted to Bad Gal Bang Mascara and I do love the new colors, but They're Real is truly the BEST. My favorite, go-to, bought over and over again mascara. The brush is so volumizing, lifting, it coats all lashes easily to have them appear thick and full. The brush is BIG and THICK which makes it easy to roll and lift the corners to get the doe-eyed winged look. Great natural black not too black, when I use this people always compliment my lashes LITERALLY asking if they are my natural lashes. Or saying I have really long lashes. I do have naturally long lashes but this extends them MORE! I read about people complaining it's hard to remove, but if you use a good eye makeup remover and a makeup eraser towel its not too bad, but you do have to "pinch" lashes w/towel to remove. It really is an alllll day and nite staying mascara. I say to those people: Its good stuff what do you want? Cheap flaky mascara? This ain't that! lol try it for yourself don't listen to them!

Bring back the old formula
I don't know why they reformulated but it's not working! It used to be nearly waterproof and separated and lengthened perfectly. I could wear it all day in the Southern summer heat and now it smudges in an hour. Please bring back the old formula! I'm begging you!

Perfect for Non-Clumping Length
I have naturally long lashes that are medium thickness and this mascara has been my go-to for like 10 years. It's perfect for "adding" length since the tips of my lashes are blonde. It doesn't clump which is great. I have had a few over the years where the tip of the tube came off so the brush didn't get the excess mascara wiped off when I pulled it out of the tube. That is the only downside so far. Tip: goes on best when my lashes are damp from a shower. Water works better than a lash primer.
