01Overview
About the Benefit Cosmetics affiliate program
Benefit Cosmetics is a San Francisco makeup brand known for its brow products, Hoola bronzer, They're Real! mascara and playful packaging. Brows are its signature category, and it runs brow bars in stores, which has made it a go-to name for brow products.
The program pays a flat amount per order, so each sale earns the same regardless of basket. At €5.26 per order this is a generous flat payout for makeup, and the 30-day cookie window gives shoppers time to decide, which helps with gift sets and seasonal launches.
Benefit pays the same flat €5.26 on every order regardless of basket size, which makes short single-product brow tutorials the best fit, since they earn as much per sale as a full routine.

The Benefit Cosmetics program accepts traffic from UK. Traffic from outside these regions may not be attributed even when the click is tracked, so check your audience geography before committing content to it.
