Tinted Lip & Cheek Stain

By Kat 12 years ago.

I'm not a fan off this lip and cheek tint. First I used this on my cheeks. I find this is too sheer, you really have to build it up. But by building it up it sort of forms an odd texture on my cheeks. I blend and blend but then it just all comes off, weird. So hard to work with. I then decided maybe its more of a lip product, but it doesn't even show on my lips. Not to mention the taste! I know you not supposed to eat it, but it takes a while to dry and then when I licked my lips- oh dear god just don't do that! It smells so badly like chemicals. Such a disappointment. It really is a shame because I love the colour. Its so pretty and pink and girly, a lovely cool toned pink, my kinda shade. when I swatched it on my arm in store, it looked so good. A pricey mistake to make.

This gorgeous coral is my absolute favourite of the Benefit tints. That said, I don't much enjoy it on the lips as I find that the colour doesn't wear particularly well. On the cheeks is an entirely different story though - love it! While I do enjoy the look of the packaging, I find the nail polish style brush to be quite useless. I prefer to swipe some onto a palette or spatula and then apply to the face with a kabuki brush in a patting motion. Best way to achieve an even blend and smooth finish in my experience.
