    The concept of the product is very creative and the colors are natural, however, when applying it, it’s not practical at all and definitely have to retouch it with another eyeshadow brush in order to show properly on the eyes

    Nice concept and colors but doesn’t have a strong effect on the eyes. Must add several times before beginning to see an effect.

    I seriously tried it in the shop and i felt that no need to waste money for such a product… I literally dont like the concept specially because each color will be shown separated and not blended

    This is a very effective and easy pallete from benefit. Beyond Nude is my favorite shade where it suits the light brown skin color. It is easy to apply and i think it is very important to have it since it saves time and gives a natural and elegant look.

    Very easy to use, especially when i’m in a hurry. Not the look I typically go for since i am not really into shimmers but the fact that it is so easy to apply ( it takes litteraly 30 seconds) withought having to even blend the edges or anything makes me reach for this over other palettes.

    I really like this eyeshadow , and what i most like about it is that it gives you the natural eyeshadow look within seconds without the need of blending and using any kind of brushe. It is perfect for fast natural make up.

    I’m not a big fan of this product. The shadows are pigmented and pretty however I can’t see myself choosing this palette over others. The shade I received (Brazen Bronze) is very shimmery, neutral, and universal however I believe I can achieve the same look using my bronzer and highlighter or using any other palette I have. The concept might be great for a teenager who’s just learning how to use makeup however I would not purchase it. I passed it on to my mom as she doesn’t usually wear eyeshadow, she’s finding it easy to use.

    Very convenient for unprofessional and not so skilled users of makeup. It immediately gives a very effortless layering of shades that could work for both simple and defined look. The colors are also pigmented enough. Very effective and handy.

    It’s beyond easy to get bigger, sexier eyes with these perfectly paired eyeshadows. The packaging is very classy as usual; eyeshadow mini palette feels and looks luxurious with a heavy feeling to it. Also, it is provided with a mirror which makes it great for traveling. Of course the pigmentation is on point, the colors do show immediately on the lid and do not fade while blending. I love it 💕

    Honestly im the type of person who prefers a strong eyeshadow look, so this product wouldnt help me. I like strong pigmentation, and also i like to play with different shade of colors, so i wouldnt purchase such thing. Maybe beginners will be happy about such thing, because its handy and easy to apply if ure not an expert with makeup.

    The product is lightweight , you can easily carry it in your bag. I like that the shimmers are very pigmented but the applicator is too small, it might fall from you while applying the product on your eyelids. This product is perfect if you are in a hurry, i recommend it to beginners because it’s easy to apply 2 different looks in no time.

    Submitted by Ghada Mrad

    I don’t put on eyeshadow every day mainly because it takes so much time to apply with all the steps that it takes, which is why this product was very helpful! It’s travel size and contains a mirror, so you can take it wherever you want and it won’t take a lot of space, and because the palette is divided into two compartments, one light, and one dark, you’ll only have to apply the product as it is on the brush and then apply it over your eyes, and voilà! One step eyeshadow! Very recommended.

    lThe concept is not very realistic

    Submitted by Nour Bou Zerdane

    on

    This product has a lot of pigmentation but the way they ask us to use it is not very realistic. The crease shadow has shimmer which does not give a nice look on the eye. But the colors are very pigmented and shiny and could be used on the lid more than on the crease! The lighter shade could be used as a brow bone highlight or an inner corner highlighter.
    Overall, I will use this product so that it doesnt go ro waste but would not purchase it myself

    Packaging: it’s benefit=packaging is awesome. it’s so cute and tiny so you can easily carry it around, and that’s what it’s made for, a quick-one-swipe eyeshadow to always have with you. so it definitely fits its function.
    the application: it’s so smooth and buildable and sooooo easy to apply as they said. one little problem with the application, THE APPLICATOR! we all have different eye shapes and sizes, one applicator cannot suit us all. my eyelid zone is pretty big for this applicator, so one swipe wasn’t enough, i had to build it up so it could cover all my eyelid.
    the end-result: cute for a quick everyday makeup routine!

I am a swimmer and I usually swim and directly go to university so the duo eyeshadow blender’s small size, blender and colors helped me finish my eyes in few minutes to catch up my other tasks.

The duo gave a nice effect and and allowed it to blend easily. I found that it was easier to apply using the finger rather than the applicator since it was too thick.

    “I think I’m starting to see a pattern with me and the They’re real! Benefit line. They’re underwhelming for me and this was no exception. Pros: the color was beautiful and the product lasted all day on my lids (I wore it at 6:30 in the morning to travel to Dubai in and didn’t take it off until around 10 p.m.). Also, the pigmentation is gorgeous. Cons: the applicator is not a one-size-fits-all kind of thing. There are so many eye shapes that this cannot possibly cater to them all. It’s not that user friendly, as it’s super small and no way covers my lids, and you have to twist and turn it to use it on the other eyelid after you’ve swiped it on the first because the grip and the sponge need to swipe the product in the right direction (dark shade at the bottom and light shade at the top) and it doesn’t work for both eyes if you’re using the same side of the applicator. I’m rambling but point is, it’s too much work for something that claims to be a quick and easy product. The end result wasn’t as well defined as the ad made it out to be.”

Sadly the actual sponge that comes with it didn’t do much for me, and I found applying it with my own shadow brush does it more justice. the packaging is cute, compact and comes with a handy mirror. The pigmentation of the shadows are standard, and I found that the darker shadow was extremely sheer. on a lighter note, the lighter shade can also be a gorgeous highlighter, and this is definitely a great first product when dabbling in eye shadows.”

    “A question that always crosses my mind : Do men or Women brainstorm and come up with ideas for new makeup gadgets and products? For the Benefit They’re Real! Duo Eyeshadow Blender, i am sure that it was a woman ! Why? Only women know how important time is in our lives! Of ALL the self products that i have used to make my life easier, this would be the best ! Firstly, it is very compact: fits in the purse, in the driver’s cabinet in my car, it can even fit in my pocket ! (though not very practical). Every year, on our family vacation, i forgo taking eyeshadows in my makeup pack because they relatively take up a lot of space and i have to fit in other more essential items for my son. It makes me thrilled that now, on my vacation i can have an easy eyeshadow look that i can easily apply (in under 2 minutes in the car, hotel room, or even on the beach ;)) without having the burden of carrying a heavy weighing item around. The eyeshadow is well pigmented, comes in two complementing colors, and with a blender all for easy use. Having hooded eyes, i found it so much easier applying eyeshadow with the blender contrary to applying it with a regular brush. I would definitely purchase this product again after finishing the one i have due to its ease of use, strong pigmentation , and most importantly for me its compact sizing.”

I like this eyeshadow because it is good for beginers to easily use and apply both eyeshadows. It’s really practical but most people will just use their own brush and apply one colour at a time than use the sponge that is included. It’s a good travel size and the shadows are really pigmented and long lasting. I dislike the applicator, it’s bulky and hard to be precise.

    “The packaging like every single Benefit product is so nice and so classy, and the container is so handy, comes with a small mirror, an applicator and the eye shadow of course. First impression: The concept is so cute, and for someone who is not a professional and not used to putting eye shadow ( myself included ) it’s makes your life just easy!! it s also very suitable to carry in a small purse. Application: The applicator or blender or sponge ( Whatever you want to call it ) is so practical, especially for beginners, really easy to use, you just dip and apply, the sponge might not be the greatest thing ever ( for someone who is used to putting eye shadow every single day ), but it can save time when you’re in a rush to go somewhere. I can just effortlessly glide it on , and the finished look is really pretty! The pigmentation of the eye shadow is really good, really strong and the colors are beautiful! it’s also long lasting, you only need to apply it one time no need for a touch up. ( I even slept in it to make sure it would last for the second day and it actually did ). Would recommend highly this eye shadow, it;s even becoming my favorite go to eye shadow.”

    I was so excited to try this product but once I tried it I was disappointed. I have it in Bronze color. The eyeshadow colors are beautiful and pigmented but the blender is not handy at all !! I wasn’t comfortable using it so it was not an easy and quick process for me. I replaced the blender with my own brushes so the whole idea of it was gone cause I have bronze shadows in others palletes.

    “I received Benefit They’re Real Duo Eyeshadow Blender in the shade Bombshell Brown from Ounousa Reviews to try out. This product has a special feature where the eyeshadow colors are aligned horizontally above each other and meant to be used with the provided blender which is huge and enables us to blend both colors while applying to the lid. Packaging: the eyeshadow mini palette feels and looks luxurious with a heavy feeling to it. Also, it is provided with a mirror which makes it great for traveling. Of course the pigmentation is on point, the colors do show immediately on the lid and do not fade while blending, this shade has a sheen finish to it so it is not completely matte. Experience: I found the application with the blender a bit complex at first but it took some trials to get used to it. What’s amazing is that you get a finished eyelook in few minutes without the need to fix and blend several shades. I found it best to pack the colors on the lid with more than one application to get the best results. It is definitely an amazing product with a creative concept and it does get in handy for eyeshadow application on the go if you’re tight on schedule.”

    Overall I didn’t fall in love with this product. I was first interested to try it but the applicator is not handy at all. The eyeshadows are pigmented so I tried applying them with my own brushes but the space in the palette is not very handy. So I didn’t use it again.

    “If you’re anything like me, meaning that if you always struggle with applying proper and decent eyeshadow, then you will love this product! If you’re in a hurry and need a quick fix of freshness, whether it’s day or night, this eyeshadow blender will come to the rescue. Along with the small sponge, all you have to do is swipe along the eyeshadow and then apply the product on your eyelids… it literally is as simple as that! Regarding the quality of the eyeshadow, I used it both throughout the day, and as a part of a night look, and it went well with both. First, the shadow sticks to the eyelids for a long time, and the color combination makes it really easy to integrate it with a variety of looks and colors. This easily became one of my makeup staples!”

    Perfect for the Festive Season!

    “Loved this product! Earth colors are a must for the winter. The shimmery and light glittery shade is very suitable for the festive season. The colors are a bit light though, so if you are looking for a very intense look,maybe u can use a stronger eyeshadow beneath and then apply this product for a brighter look to make the eyes look wider. The blender with the product is the cutest, but it is not narrow enough though to get to the corner of the eyelid.”

    “I didn’t really like the concept or idea of the blender as I generally prefer to perfect my eyeshadow by myself. It also just doesn’t really apply very well with the blender and can look a bit messy. 
Still, it can however be fixed after swiping by blending again with a brush, but I don’t think that’s the idea of it in the first place, and in case I would much rather use another palette with a better shade variety, and even for much less.”

    “when I received this I didn’t imagine I would love it as much as I do now . This is very handy especially if you are a girl that I always on the run and wants to look put together . products pros: 1)very pigmented 2)easy to use 3)easy to blend 4)travel and pocket friendly 5)handy mirror 6)can create 2 looks one with the darker color on the lid and one with the darker color in the crease . CONS: its not really a con but when using the darker in the upper part make sure that u go in with a fluffy crease blending brush or the applicator itself just to blend out the edges . Nevertheless, its a great product and would definitely recommend it !?”

    The brush cannot get any cuter! ? it’s a little bit tricky to hold but always fun to use. Colors are very nice and so pigmented. Packaging is great size for purse and traveling. Tip: Use the light color as highlighter ?

OUR EDITORIAL REVIEW

Packaging:

The Benefit They’re Real! Duo eyeshadow blender comes in a black cardboard box. The first thing the eye notices is the word “Real!” written across the box, in bright orange. The top of the box shows a couple of pictures of eyes applying and wearing the eyeshadow. Once you open the box, you will find a metal casing. This Benefit duo eyeshadow holds two shades in one single pan. The pan has the two shadows stacked on top of each other horizontally and on the opposite side, a thin long mirror. It also comes with a funky round shaped sponge applicator on the side of the metal case, shaped like the top of a microphone. It’s the brand’s signature brush, called the ShadowBlender. The packaging is beautiful and very appealing. It’s a really good travel size.

Colors Available & Colors tested:

There are ten different shades of the Real! Duo Eyeshadow Blender available, all containing a duo of colors, in satin, sheen and soft matte finishes: Beyond Nude; Naughty Neutral; Bombshell Brown; Brazen Bronze; Easy Smokin’; Sexy Smokin’; Provocative Plum; Kinky Khaki; Mauve Mischief; and Foxy Faune.They’re Real! Duo eyeshadow Blender Brazen Bronze, a warm duet of soft gold and satin bronze. Perfect for Hazel eyes! They’re Real! Duo eyeshadow Blender Bombshell Brown, a neutral duet of soft matte taupe & sable brown.

Texture:

Shiny powder eyeshadow, easy to apply.

Application:

Slide the Blender across your shadow duo. Put the blender in the inner corner of your eye with the darker shade along your lash-line, then sweep across your lid! Wipe the sponge with a tissue after each use. Repeating the slide & sweep if you want a more pronounced look. You can also apply the lighter shade along your lash-line and the deeper shade in the crease of your eyelid.

Pro-tip: application is relatively easy but needs to be controlled a bit. Take the time to blend the eyeshadow for a perfect look.

Effect:

The brand claims the crease-resistant long-wear formula lasts 12-hours. It is also very proud of its custom ShadowBlender, stating it fits your eye shape to ensure expert eyeshadow application every time.

We found first of all, that this eyeshadow collection is really pigmented, which is what most of us are looking for. The shades are really true to what you see in the package and all of the different duos are a perfect combo of colors. We were also very happy by the ease of use. For someone who isn’t that great at doing a smokey eye or a cut crease, this eyeshadow makes it quite easy. Finally, we found that when well applied, this Benefit They’re Real! Duo Eyeshadow Blender, the color lasts for a long time, without a need to reapply.

The lighter colors are perfect for a natural look with just a bit of shimmer! All the shades are quite suitable for everyday wear.

Price:

This product weighs 3.5 g and is priced at 33$. It is less expensive than similar range products such as NARS’ Cosmetics Duo Eyeshadow, available in forty different shades, priced at 44$ for 4g – noting that the NARS product comes without an application brush or blender – or Estee Lauder’s Pure Color Eyeshadow Duo priced at 50$ for 3.5grams.
