Katherine Ryan sports £27 high street mascara shoppers praise as 'the best ever'
Comedian Katherine Ryan is currently pregnant with her second child but she's still finding time to share her favourite beauty products - and it seems she's finally found 'the one' when it comes to mascara
Katherine Ryan, known for her comedic chops on shows like Would I Lie To You?, seems to be eyeing a side gig as a beauty influencer. The television favourite has been dishing out beauty tips, and her latest endorsement of a high street mascara is turning heads.
On TikTok, the comedian, who just announced her fourth pregnancy, shared an impressive before-and-after snapshot of her eyelashes, captioning it: "Am I the only one who puts mascara on by blinking slowly?"
Katherine revealed that mascara was one of the beauty staples where she rates high street products above designer brands. The focus of her TikTok was Benefit's They're Real Mascara, which Katherine hailed as "the ONE".
She said: "I've seen a lot of mascara reviews on here, and I know I'm going to get in trouble in a minute because it is 7.56 pm and I'm on stage in four minutes, but I'm ready as soon as I get on."
She clarified her stance, saying: "I don't have an affiliate link and I'm not selling anything, but I use some designer make-up products but never mascara. For some reason, I think high street ones are better. This is Benefit They're Real."
Katherine also mentioned her preference for high street mascaras that "don't flake" and her fondness for mini versions for ease of travel, reports the Mirror.
If you're tempted by Katherine's lash transformation, the mini mascara is available for £15 at Selfridges, or take advantage of LookFantastic's current deal offering a full-size They're Real Mascara plus a travel-sized one for £27 (valued at £42).
Katherine's TikTok fans are eager to pop the mascara into their virtual baskets after witnessing her lashes adorned with a layer of the product.
One asked: "Katherine how the hell are your lashes that long??"
Another expressed her fondness for the Benefit product, commenting: "Nothing beats Benefit mascara!", while another added: "I've loved Benefit mascara for the longest time."
One more fan enthused: "This is the best mascara ever. I've used it for years. Can't beat it."
"I shall NEVER return to my old drug store mascara... Benefit has my heart," a final user declared.
The mascara itself boasts a formula designed to elongate and amplify lashes for a faux-lash effect, offering up to 36 hours of wear that resists smudging, transferring, and flaking, as Katherine attests.
Yet, some of her followers argue that a £15 mascara – even a mini – doesn't quite fit the high street bill.
For those seeking a recommendation under £10, there are plenty of alternatives being suggested.
One TikToker recommends Maybelline's Sky High Mascara, currently available on Amazon for £8. Others are vouching for L'Oreal's renowned Telescopic Mascara, which is on sale for £9.59 at present.

TikTok influencer sparks debate after getting FIRE BRIGADE to let her into her flat when she locked herself out
A TikTok influencer has sparked a fiery debate online after calling firefighters to her home after locking herself out. Lindsey Lowell, who goes by @lindseyinlondon on TikTok, left many furious online after calling the fire brigade to help her get into her Clapham flat. While zooming home on a Lime bike, she shared that she didn't have keys for her flat and that her roommate was on holiday. 'So I have a few options,' she said. 'I either try and scale the wall and climb through my window or I go to the fire department and asked them to bring a ladder to my house.' And while some social media users suggested she stay at an AirBnB, a hotel or even go to a pub, Lindsey steamed ahead to ask the firemen for some help. In a follow-up clip, the TikToker showed her open window as she devised a possible plan to climb up the wall. 'We're walking to the fire department to see if they will bring a ladder to my house to let me crawl through my little window,' she said. She continued: 'That would be so idyllic. Maybe I should stop and get them some pints on the way.' After speaking to a firefighter at the station, she was informed that the fire engine was out on a job near her home. But, she was told to ask for 'firefighter Jack' who would help her get into her flat. 'I see the firefighters,' she said. 'Once they finish up at this job, they are going to come over to my house and they're gonna bring the white ladder... and they are going to get me into my house. 'I am so overjoyed right now.' Footage then shows the fire crew use its turntable ladder to reach an open window and gain access to the house. However, the involvement of the fire service has caused an uproar online, with many questioning why the emergency service was being used. One wrote: 'Seriously? You got locked out and called firefighers? I bet locksmith would've been just fine.' Another added: 'I'm confused, is there a reason you spent public money rather than getting a locksmith? ' While a third said: 'I can't believe the fire brigade came and did this, we have locksmiths.' 'Why didn't you just knock on a few peoples doors to ask for a ladder?,' a fourth wrote. Some leapt to her defence. One person said: 'All those saying locksmiths; in London an emergency locksmith charges just shy of £1000!!!!!' A second added: 'People are hating on her for this, but I think it's a smart move. She hasn't called 999, she's just gone and asked, after all they could have said no. It's on their way back to the station and probably took them like 15min max.' However, most were left confused over the use of the fire service. 'Who casually goes to the fire department to ask to borrow a ladder because you locked yourself out?,' one wrote. Someone else added: 'You called firefighters because you were locked out? That is £1000s of public money. Why did you not get a locksmith?' Another wrote: 'You called firefighters because you were locked out? That is £1000s of public money. Why did you not get a locksmith?'.

A third typed: "Such a genius, made so much from his sound which meant Pete only had to sing live, which was difficult in them days considering it was also 50/50 if the shows even happened!

The band was formed 21 years ago and became Pete Doherty's main outlet for poetic yet chaotic rock after he was driven out of The Libertines. Babyshambles released their self-titled debut 7" in April that year. By the summer, the group consisted of Pete, guitarist Patrick, bassist Drew McConnell, and drummer Gemma Clarke. In 2005, they released their debut album, Down in Albion, which landed in the Top 10 of the Album Charts.
