WHAT IS IT? Brand: BenefitProduct: Benetint Lip Stain & Liquid Blush TintPrice: £17.50 WHY IS IT SO GOOD? I don’t remember how I first came across Benetint because I’ve been using it forever, and think I will be for the rest of my days. I skipped the whole YouTube make-up tutorial era but my younger sister was all over it and I think she must’ve found it from Zoella or Tanya Burr. Throwback! I was 16 when I first started using it and I’m now 24 so it’s really the longest and most committed relationship I’ve had. I love Benetint. I use it practically every day. It’s so quick and I can use it on my face and lips. It’s also long-lasting; it takes me a few months to get through a bottle. I can layer it as much as I like and with other products over the top. I switch up my face make-up a lot – sometimes I wear foundation, sometimes only concealer, sometimes in summer just moisturiser and tan. Benetint works and compliments all of those combos. The way I use it is: after I’ve moisturised and put my face base on, I dab some across my cheeks and nose. Then I paint some on my lips, leave it to stain, and add lipgloss over the top. It’s great if you’re hanging and your face is looking a little grey and lifeless – just dabbing some on really brightens your complexion and just gives you a rosy glow. It’s also a dream in summer as it looks cracking with a tan. It’s perfect for layering, too: you can use as much or as little as you like, and it’s super easy to top up if you’re needing a refresh. They also have so many different shades. I have been using the same rose shade since I was 16 and have never felt the need to stray, but maybe one day I will try the Gogotint or the Chachatint as I love the look of them.
