Benetint Cheek Stain Views

General Goods

If you have never tried Benetint, it is a liquid cheek and lip stain. Although the color appears as a rather intimidating dark red in the bottle, if applied lightly, it goes on as a nice light rose that gives a natural and long lasting flushed look. I adore the stuff as a cheek stain, especially on days when I want to wear just a bit of makeup or want a really natural look. I also like it for when I want a long wearing look. Use of the product takes some caution. It dries quickly, so I find that the time for blending it is limited. That means two things: (1) don ’t put too much on to start, and (2) blend quickly! My trick is to dot a bit on and blend it quickly, then dot on a bit more and blend again until I have the amount of color that I want. I have pale skin, so I use very little. People with darker skin would likely want to use more to build up the color, but I recommend building it slowly. It can darken up pretty fast and it is easier to add color than it is to remove it.

This stuff is awesome. The perfect lip and cheek stain. Layer some gloss over this stain and it has a just bitten look. As for my cheeks I use this when I only wear my tinted moisturizer. I do a jelly donut technique, where a make a dab of the Benetint to the apple of my cheek and make a circle of High Beam around it. ( jelly donut ) and blend--if you have high beam try this technique out.

The blush works well but dries quickly so rub it in before it dries! the lady behind the counter taught me to make a small X on the apples of my cheeks and then blend. My sister uses a three dot method. Experiment one night and find the way that works best for you! I hardly wear blush so the light tint is perfect for me. Best of all I donn’t need to re-apply benetint throughout the day! It takes me from work, to home! The one con: I am afraid to put in in my purse as the liquid will stain.

I mentioned in my review of Smashbox Double Exposure Lip and Cheek Stain that their stain doesn't last nearly as long as Benefit Benetint Rose-Tinted Cheek o Lip Stain.That is completely true. This little bottle of liquid magic flushes my cheeks and lips beautifully and stays put until I take it... Read full review ara"
