Everyone loves rosy cheeks & lips, and Benefits Benetint is the answer. I’m a big fan of all Benefit tints which I have tried. All of them are amazing & the colors are so wearable.  Whenever I visit Sephora or Faces I rush to the Benefit counter as the cute colors & display always attracts me.  After reading and hearing a lot about Benetint, I finally decided to pick this bestseller. It’s a rosy cheek & lip tint. It adds a rosy pinkish-red color tint to the cheeks the sexiest flush you can get from the bottle.

The product is not much pigmented; it’s rather thin but very tinted. You can layer it up to get more color. It’s my go to product for natural rosy glowing look. The product appears to be a dark burgundy shade but in application it’s much lighter & sheerer.  It absorbs in the skin & doesn’t make it oily or shinny. Even after layering up the color gets deeper but not overpowering & stays natural. It’s a perfect product to get no makeup rosy look! I absolutely love this product & its Fabulous.

Packaging:

The packaging of Benetint is similar to all other tints by Benefit. It comes in a cylindrical transparent bottle with a screw on cap. It’s quite comfortable & I love the nail polish type applicator. It absorbs the right amount of tint & makes it easier to apply. The packaging is small which is easy to carry in your purse for touch-ups. The bottle may appear small for the price but you won’t run out of it that quickly. It can last a year minimum which justifies the price.

Application:

For application you can either dot the tint on the apples of your cheek & blend or draw 3 lines. I prefer drawing lines as it gives me even coverage. But I have to apply it twice to get the right color on my skin.  I also prefer using it for my cheeks but if you apply lip-gloss on top it’s good to be applied as base. The consistency is thin so you have to blend it quickly after drawing the lines as it tends to dry & set fast. While applying or blending with your finger it leaves the color on your finger, to remove it use some makeup remover & wash with warm water.

Lasting:

It lasts for good 5-6 hours on lips including meals & upto 9 hours on my cheeks which is longer than any other flush. Since the color is soft it’s recommended to use with Benefit primers to make it last longer. It doesn’t wash off with water or because of sweat. You need to use makeup remover to remove it.

A word of caution about tints/stains:

Tints or stains should not be used on broken skin. If you have fresh breakout or acne do not use them, it will give uneven & patchy look.  You need exfoliated & moisturized skin & lips to apply them for best results. Also, be quick in blending them after applying it on your skin otherwise the tint will set within seconds and you will be left with bright streak of color across you cheek or lips.

What I liked:

•   Original rose scent.
•   Natural rosy colour.
•  Easy application & blending.
•  Stay good upto 8 hours.
•  Doesn’t get patchy or uneven.
• Doesn’t come off easily.
• Doesn’t make your skin oily or shinny.

Final Verdict:

Benefit Benetint is a powerful product inside a small bottle. The sheer formula allows you control the color intensity & product blends in very easily. Giving you the beautiful natural rosy look. It doesn’t come off with water & sweat, which is a plus point for the weather like in KSA. It is suitable for all skin types & colors that’s why the product is highly recommended by me.
