Benefit Cosmetics
Benefit Cosmetics is a make-up brand that began as a San Francisco boutique in 1976 and now belongs to LVMH. It is best known for brows, primers and mascara, with a playful style summed up in its motto, 'laughter is the best cosmetic'. The UK website sells the full make-up line, and Brow Bars offer in-person services.
About Benefit Cosmetics
Brows, base and lashes
Brows are the signature. 24-HR Brow Setter keeps them in place, while Precisely, My Brow Pencil draws fine strokes and Gimme Brow+ builds volume. For complexion, the POREfessional primer sits alongside foundations, concealers, blushers and bronzers. Lash fans can pick between They're Real! for length and BADgal BANG! for volume. Benetint is another of the brand's best-known products, and there are lip and eye products too.
Ordering and returns
Standard UK delivery takes 3 to 5 working days and is free on orders over £40. Click and collect is also offered, and Benefit ships internationally. Returns are accepted within 14 days, provided products are unused and in their original packaging. Payment options include Visa, Mastercard, American Express, PayPal, Apple Pay and Klarna, and gift cards are available.
Brow Bars and rewards
Benefit Brow Bars, found in its boutiques and on department store counters, offer waxing, tinting, lamination and brow mapping. The app-based Benefit Loves programme lets members collect Hearts and swap them for treats such as products or mini treatments. Students can get a discount through Student Beans or UNiDAYS, and NHS and key workers through Blue Light Card.
