Benefit Benetint Lip & Cheek tint

I love Benefit Benetint! It seems to me that this is the simplest and most versatile tool for creating beautiful lips and a gentle blush on the cheekbones. It is enough to apply gently and wait a few seconds. And voila! You have perfectly juicy lips! And the main advantage is unlimited kisses, snacks and even sleep! And all this without any consequences for makeup and bed linen. The tint effectively stays on the skin for 6-10 hours.

It holds the pigment well throughout the day and is definitely a buildable tint on the lips. However applying too much product (3 layers) may cause it to become noticeable on the cracks on the lips and come off more quickly. It has a lovely rose scent and I’d recommend to anyone who wants a natural look. As a blush it definitely falls flat, you can’t build the blush too much and I’ve found it can look slightly patchy no matter how I apply it. The colour is not as bold as I’d like however if you want a subtle blush without worrying it looks to much- this is for you. Overall it’s a very decent lip tint especially for the price!

Classic Benetint! I had to try it! I have to say I am definitely obsessed with lip tints, I am honestly not really a heavy lipstick girl so I tend to always go for lighter formulas. Benetint is definitely water-based and has absolutely no oily/sticky/moisturizing feeling. The formula is quite watery so it may be a bit difficult to work with if you aren’t used to water based tints. Can be used on lips or cheeks for a flush of colour, I prefer it on the lips because it just doesn’t pack a punch on the cheeks (unless you use a lot!). The first swipe provides a rosy flush that gives my lips but better vibes. Add a couple more layers and you can get an almost fuchsia tone that definitely reads as “lipstick”, I like to do one swipe all over and blot the edges with a finger and then go back in with another swipe on the inner lip to give it a faded popsicle look. I think this could work for most skin tones, however it will definitely vary, I expected a more reddish pink but it reads very raspberry/fuchsia on my skin tone. This is definitely transfer-proof after you let it dry down on your lips. Unfortunately the thin formula tends to settle in dry cracks on the lips, so definitely make sure your lips are moisturized. I sometimes top it off with a balm if it’s feeling too dry. If you are someone who likes lightweight lip products that feel like nothing (literally!) I would definitely recommend. I won’t say that this is “holy grail” yet because I’m always on the hunt for a better lip tint, but I have to say it wins big points for me because of the barely-there formula!
