"I got the Benefit FanFest Mascara in PR and I actually don't like it. It's a much more dry formula, which gives you more separation, but I feel like it's shockingly hard to remove. You might like it if you're somebody who has a lot of problems with mascara running, but I also cannot stand mascaras that are hard to remove."

"If you're looking for a mascara with that extra long wow effect, Benefit Fanfest is fantastic. [...] It has a pretty straightforward wand, [...] traditional soft bristles, a slight curve, but it just gives me really beautiful long lashes, with a tiny bit of the spidery look in the sense that they're so long, but not in the way of the Huda Beauty mascara at all. I've really been loving this, I've been layering it a lot with other mascaras."

"I don't have any issues with this one when it comes to wear. I think it holds up really well, no smudging, no flaking. This is a really, really great mascara, definitely the best one Benefit has launched, in my personal opinion. [...] I get amazing length with this. I get great volume, I get great separation, and I do get really pretty curl. I love this. It's so impressive to me. I was shocked when I first tried this because it's just so"

"It attaches the right amount of product to my lashes, unlike some mascaras that [...] just don't cling well. [...] I do end up having to separate a few lashes after applying, but other than that I definitely don't think it's too clumpy, you get really nice long lashes with this. I think that it's really good and definitely one of the better ones I have tried at that higher end price point."

"I definitely feel like it's lifting my lashes quite a bit but it feels lightweight which is nice. [...] That gives really nice volume to the lashes."
