The Best Benefit Makeup: 5 Squad-Approved Favourites
Some brands just get it. Benefit Cosmetics has been making us smile with its cheeky packaging and hardworking formulas for years, and the Beauty Buddy Squad clearly agrees. These five products keep popping up in the app, so we rounded up the ones that have earned their cult status. Let’s dive in!
5. Benefit Dandelion Baby-Pink Brightening Blush
Think of Dandelion as a little dose of happiness in a box. This soft baby-pink powder blush adds a fresh, brightening flush with a delicate luminous finish that flatters so many skin tones.
It’s subtle enough for everyday wear and gives that healthy, just-pinched glow without looking overdone. Plus, it’s super versatile: dust it on your cheeks, across your eyelids, or on the high points of your face for a soft highlight.
Squad tip: Smile, then sweep it onto the apples of your cheeks and blend up towards your temples.
PRICE: £32.00
4. Benefit The POREfessional Face Primer
The name says it all. The POREfessional is a silky, balm-like primer that blurs the look of pores and fine lines, creating a smooth canvas for your foundation.
It’s oil-free and feels weightless, so it doesn’t add heaviness to your base. Wear it under makeup to help everything glide on and last longer, or on its own when you want a soft-focus, “my skin but better” finish on bare skin.
Squad tip: Pat it (don’t rub!) onto areas where pores look bigger, like your nose and cheeks.
PRICE: £33.00
3. Benefit Roller Lash Mascara
Straight lashes that refuse to hold a curl, meet your match. Roller Lash is a curling and lifting mascara with a clever hook ’n’ roll brush that grabs each lash, lifts it, and curls it up like a mini lash curler.
It separates lashes beautifully with no clumps, and the curl actually stays put. It’s a go-to for anyone who wants wide-awake, eye-opening lashes in just a couple of coats.
Squad tip: Wiggle the wand at the root, then roll it up through to the tips for maximum lift.
PRICE: £28.00
2. Benefit 24-HR Brow Setter
Fluffy, laminated-looking brows without the salon appointment? Sign us up. 24-HR Brow Setter is a brow gel that holds your hairs in place all day long while still feeling flexible, never crunchy.
The clear version works over any brow product (or on its own for a groomed, natural look), and there are tinted shades too if you want a little extra definition. The tiny brush makes it easy to brush hairs up and out for that brushed-up, fluffy finish everyone’s obsessed with.
Squad tip: Brush upwards, then gently press the hairs into place with your fingertip for a soap-brow effect.
PRICE: £26.00
1. Benefit Hoola Matte Bronzer
If there’s one bronzer that deserves a lifetime achievement award, it’s Hoola. This matte powder gives you that natural, sun-kissed warmth without any shimmer, so it looks like skin, not makeup.
It’s buildable, blends like a dream, and works for contouring, bronzing, or just warming up your face after a long, grey week. With shades like Hoola Lite, Hoola, Hoola Caramel, and Hoola Toasted, there’s a match for a wide range of skin tones. And yes, that retro box with its own brush is still as cute as ever.
Squad tip: Sweep it in a “3” shape along your forehead, cheekbones, and jawline for an effortless glow.
PRICE: £34.00
From bronzed and glowy to lifted and laminated, Benefit really does cover your whole face. Which of these is already in your makeup bag?
