Love it! - 11.20.09
Quick Take: natural looking

This was the first Benefit product I ever purchased. I have been using it for close to 10 years now. A few dabs will last all day on your cheeks! I have freckles and this tint looks very natural. You do have to blend it pretty quickly. It is also great for pouty looking lips, but it doesnt last as long as on your cheeks.

where have you been all my life? - 11.19.09
Quick Take: natural looking

i've never been a blush fan. i don't like the way it looks -- all powdery and just, well...like you've got blush on. i always longed for something natural looking -- like you've just had a few glasses of wine or come in from a cold evening. and then i found benetint, which does just that. gives a very natural looking flush on the cheeks, although i can't speak for what it looks like on the lips. i can see the bottle lasting me a VERY long time as you need very little per application. i've turned a few of my girlfriends on to this product and they are a little obsessed. yes, it's a little awkward to put on at first...like you're putting nail polish on yr face. but you get used to it.

Best. Ever. - 11.17.09
Quick Take: natural looking

This stuff is amazing! It looks more natural than powder and stays on better than cream or gel. I get this natural rosiness to my cheeks, don't have to worry about those streaks, and it stays on all day. I use 3 stripes, rather than the dots, and love the way it looks. Been using it for years and wouldn't think of changing it!

Love This Stuff! - 11.17.09
Quick Take: natural looking

I have fair skin and my lips have a pink hue to them, and this stuff just looks great. You do have to blend it in quickly, but it gives an very natural look versus looking to costumey. I love using it on my lips - it gives them a very luscious look without looking too tawdry. I would love it if it lasted a bit longer on my lips.

nice flush - 11.16.09
Quick Take: luminous sheen, natural looking

pros: nice rosy color, lasts all day

I really like this cheek stain. I've contemplated it for a long time, and I think its a great buy. It lasts all day on your skin, and the bottle will last you forever too. You have to blend pretty quick to make sure it doesn't stain the wrong spots, but it leaves a very pretty rosey color. I would recommend it more for cheeks than lips.

Really loved this!! - 11.16.09
Quick Take: natural looking

It really does stay for long hours. i just need to re apply a lip balm or gloss over it. i can use whatever shade of gloss and if it wears off, the benetint stain is still there and you still have lip color!

Perfectly Rosey - 11.15.09
Quick Take: natural looking, long lasting

Have you ever wondered how Hollywood actress such as Anne Hathaway or Sandra Bullock get that perfectly youthful-rosey look?

Benetint's rose stain does exactly that. I'm pale (ivory tone foundation) and have blue eyes. The stain makes my eyes pop out, last all day, and gives me that natural rosy-youthful glow I've always wanted. If Red/ bright pink makeup works with your skin tone then its suffice to say this product will work for you.
P.S. I stain my lips with the rose stain before applying gloss or lipstick. It guarantees lip color after my gloss or lipstick wears off.

Perfect!

Great - 11.14.09
Quick Take: natural looking

It gives cheeks a nice and natural flushed look that I cannot seem to do with regular blush. It does seem a little overpriced for colored water. Oh well, its definitely works great!!

I love it! - 11.12.09
Quick Take: natural looking

I decided to try benetint after reading all the rave reviews. I love it on my cheeks! It is so easy to use: I do the three stripes rather than three dots technique. It lasts all day, and it really emphasizes my high cheek bones. I tried it on my lips once, and they made them way too dry, even with lip chap/lip gloss over it. I will probably not use it on my lips again, but they are so pretty on the cheeks.

waste - 11.10.09
This product is waste of money. Very dry on lips, and too much work for cheeks.

Good product, gives a nice and natural pink glow. Not a fan of the packaging, kind of like a nail polish container. Don't think the brush is very good for application and the script printed on the bottle quickly flaked off and got all over my hand :(

Quick Take: natural looking

Nice product! My every day makeup is a little powder, lip tint and blush. I look fresh without looking like I put on makeup. The color is pretty but it doesn't suit me as well as other products (which is the minus 1) but product design is nice. Very easy and clean to apply.

Good lip stain - 11.08.09
Quick Take: natural looking

Given my skin's tendency to break out, I have not tried this as a cheek stain. As a lip stain, however, it looks very young and natural. The closest thing that I can compare it to is eating a cherry lollipop or slushy that stains your lips. It lasts about two hours. The only downside is that the application is a little burdensome.

The only blush I use - 11.07.09
Quick Take: natural looking

I am constantly striving for sheer but lasting makeup that looks as natural as possible--a "no makeup" look without looking tired and pale. I want to look like I just naturally have color in my cheeks and lips--the healthly glow look. Bene tint is perfect--I use it everyday.

Truly Rosey - 11.07.09
Quick Take: luminous sheen, natural looking

One of the most unique approaches to rosy cheeks... it's easy to apply, and looks really natural - a glow from within. I was worried that it might make me break out - but it didn't. Great product (I have yet to be disappointed by Benefit!)
