Once in a while, I'm pleasantly surprised by a product that I'd always thought would have been sub-par. I'm even more blown away as this product is by a brand that is notorious for not being accommodating towards those of us of a darker hue.
I'm talking about Benefit's Benetint, but I'm sure that's already clicked. As most of my cream blushers left me wanting something that spread easier, I decided to dig this out of my blusher box. I say box, it's more of a compartment in a plastic tray.
I am a total convert to this product. I haven't raved about something for ages and that's because I've not found anything to rave about. I've used it non-stop for weeks which is rare as I'm always chopping and changing my cheek enhancers. So great is my love for this product that I've given away a fair amount of my powder blushers.
The packaging causes me no ill as I can't really think how else you could package a tint. It lasts ages on your skin so you don't need to tote it around with you. The brush is really helpful as it dabs the colour on and then you can just dab and smooth it out with your fingers.
On my cheeks, I apply it with the brush and then blend it with my fingers. It does stain my fingers but that's easily washed off. It lasts all day on my cheeks and I'm the kind of person who is always touching her face. The best thing about this is that it's hard to be heavy handed and therefore application is a dream. It gives me a natural looking stain on my face and it doesn't even look like I'm wearing blusher which is exactly what I want.
I've also started using it on my lips and it gives me a natural looking rosy lip which is something I struggled to achieve before. The colour does develop so I put on a little bit and then wait about 15 minutes to see how deep it is. I apply it with the brush and rub my lips together. It stays on all day despite my eating and it's still there when I brush my teeth in the evening.
As it's a tint, it's a concentrated product so you don't need to use a lot, the photo up there is after weeks of usage and it still looks brand new.
Benefit's Benetint will set you back £24.50 and can be bought from the Benefit site, Boots and Debenhams. I'm also lusting after their new Cha Cha shade as I've realised that orangey colours work well on me.
