Product reviews of Benefit Cosmetics Benetint
Review: Perfect, natural color
Beauty product: 5 Stars
I love this tint. It is just the right shade of pinkish-red; in fact, it is the exact same color my lips used to be, before the color faded with age and sun damage. I didn't care for it on my cheeks, which are naturally pink on their own, but a tiny spot blended into my eyelids (upper brow bone area) really makes me look healthy and awake.
Note, this is just a tint and won't provide the same moisturizing effects as a lipstick or gloss. Also, it is best if you apply it to clean, dry lips (e.g., not on top of a balm or other color), or it will just run. I wear mine under Badger Lip Balm or under the Benetint Lip Balm, and it feels and looks great for hours.
The most pleasing thing about a tint is its layering/staining affects. I apply it no more than 3 times a day (though I apply the balms more often), and I wake up the next morning, after having washed my face and brushed my teeth the night before, with berry-kissed lips. A far safer alternative to "permanent" cosmetics. Highly recommended.
Review: Really natural color
Beauty product: 4 Stars
Don't let the size of this little bottle fool you - it only takes a few drops to get natural looking cheek color, so it lasts a long time. I had a problem applying it with my fingertips, because more color seemed to get on my fingers than my cheeks, so I use the plastic cap from a small bottle of perfume to blend it. It has great staying power, even for someone like me who has oily skin and regular powder blushes seem to "dissapear" after a few hours. Review: Rosy flush in a bottle
Beauty product: 5 Stars
In Jane Austen's day, ladies pinched their cheeks to give them a rosy
flush. A roll in the hay or a brisk walk in the snow achieve a similar
blush effect. Thankfully, Benefit has come up with a product that creates that same glow in a way that lasts longer and comes in a convenient little bottle--Benetint cheek and lip stain. What's special about Benetint is that since it's a stain, it doesn't sit on top of the skin. The result is much more natural than with a powder or cream blush, as if the glow was coming from within and not from an applied product. It also serves double duty as a lip tint (think fresh berry-stained pout). The rosy hue is flattering to all skin tones and the rose-petal scent is an added Benefit (that Jane Austen would have appreciated, and without the pinching!
Review: Rosy!
Beauty product: 5 Stars
I got this today and I couldn't wait to try it out! I have dry skin, so I rubbed a tiny bit of moisturizer on my bare cheeks and then dabbed and blended the Benetint over the top. I didn't have a problem with it drying too quickly that way so I'd definitely recommend a bit of moisturizer if you have that problem. I put my foundation on over the top and the beautiful rosy glow shines through as if my skin naturally looked like that! Then I used a q-tip to rub it into my lips, and I absolutely love the natural reddish color it imparts. I hate lipstick but I need color to my lips, and this is exactly what I've always wanted.
Buy it, you won't be sorry, and if you are, send it to me and I'll use it!
Review: So right...
Beauty product: 5 Stars
To all of the people out there still thinking that liquid stain is tricky to use, I really want to recommend this product. No wonder there's been a dozen new versions and imitations of it as soon as it came out, they got it exactly right the first time!
Benetint is a wonderful pink-reddish color that looks good on just about anyone, I'd say it's universally flattering. The formula's completely liquid so the best recommendation is just not to take TOO long to work on it or it'll dry on your cheeks. The key is to dab a little on the apple of your cheeks and work with your fingertips.
I, a former devotee of powder blushes, originally bought this for my lips as it gives them a nice I've-been-sucking-on-a-lollipop color and a great look when used under gloss. However, I tried it out on my cheeks one day that I was sick and looked really pale...wow! It looks so natural my mother even asked me if I'd had a walk in the sun. That, I think, is the best part about it, no other thing I've ever tried has looked as natural. I have to admit it looked amazing, lasted all day, and smells like roses.
Don't be fooled by the price and the size, very little goes a long way and even with daily use it'll last you a looong time. A wonderful product and a great buy.
