Any long-term Benefit fans will know that they discontinue a hell of a lot of makeup. There are some products like their iconic High Beam which have stood the test of time, but others like Moon Beam, She Laq and Miss Popularity have disappeared altogether. We decided to take a moment to remember our fallen soldiers to bring you this comprehensive list of (almost) every discontinued Benefit makeup product.
Non Fiction Liquid Foundation
A foundation that Benefit promised would "let the real you show through"...as opposed to that imaginary you?
Miss Popularity
A precise doe foot applicator highlighter that came in one very bold and very white 'shimmering' shade.
Powderflage
A pink-toned under-eye setting powder that promised to diffuse fine lines and cover dark circles.
10
A split pan bronzer and blusher that as pretty as it was, would only work for one skin tone.
Gilded
24 carat gold in a stick apparently/a gold coloured highlighting pencil.
Moon Beam
Moon Beam was the night version to the iconic High Beam, but sadly High Beam reigned supreme and Moon Beam got relegated to the bin.
She Laq
In the days before gallons of setting spray, She Laq was a makeup sealant that turned your makeup waterproof.
Bella Bamba
Described as a 'triple dimension of pink', there was some shock in the office upon the news that one of Benefit's newer boxed blushes is no longer.
Cupid's Bow
According to Benefit the Cupid's bow was the most provocative part of "your pucker", so of course this double-ended lip liner was a necessity.
Bad Gal Plum
A plum coloured version of their iconic Bad Gal mascara which tbh we wish they would bring back.
Bathina
A silky, glimmering body balm that promised to add a 'seductive sheen' to even our corned beefy legs.
Thrrrob
Have you ever wondered what a "turned on" face powder looks like? Well now you know. It's ok, you can thank me later.
Glamazon Facial Bronzing Tint
A facial bronzing tint that came in a bottle Bet Lynch would have been proud of.
You Rebel
A tinted moisturiser that actually came in pretty hip, millennial packaging.
One Hot Minute
A "sexy-in-seconds" face powder aka a loose bronzer.
Georgia
Long before Too Faced's Peaches and Cream collection there was Benefit's Georgia blush, which was both peach coloured and scented.
Talk To The Tan
A sheer bronze facial tint that caused more accidents for me than Rimmel Sun Shimmer.
Play Sticks
A quick Google reveals that some fans have never got over the loss of Benefit's stick foundation, and for that we mourn for them.
Flamingo Fancy
A shimmering 'body slip' that didn't actually make you stand on one leg.
Mr Frosty
A pearly white eye pencil that could be used on the waterline to make you look more away/frosty.
