Benefit Benetint Lip and Cheek Tint - Raspberry

Benetint is formulated to be non-drying, offering a comfortable wear on both lips and cheeks. While it's a stain and not a moisturizer, it won't typically cause dryness.

Yes, for added comfort, moisture, or a glossy finish, you can absolutely apply lip balm or lip gloss over Benetint once it has dried on your lips.

Benetint is designed for longwear. On lips, it can last several hours, though eating and drinking may reduce its longevity. On cheeks, it typically lasts throughout the day without fading, providing a lasting flush.

While not explicitly marketed as waterproof, its transfer-proof and longwearing formula makes it highly resistant to smudging and fading from sweat or light moisture once set.

Benetint can be removed with a standard makeup remover or cleanser. For more stubborn stains, an oil-based makeup remover or micellar water typically works best.

Benetint is specifically designed and tested for use on lips and cheeks. We do not recommend using it on the delicate skin of the eyelids.

While Benetint is generally well-tolerated, if you have sensitive skin, it's always recommended to perform a patch test on a small, inconspicuous area before full application to ensure no irritation occurs.

Benetint dries quickly. Apply only 1-2 dots at a time to one cheek, then blend immediately and thoroughly with your fingertips or a sponge before moving to the next cheek. Work in small sections.

Start with a single dot on lips or cheeks and build up. If you've applied too much, quickly blot with a tissue or gently blend with a damp beauty sponge. For cheeks, you can also soften the look by dabbing a small amount of liquid foundation or concealer over the area.

While fingertips offer the most natural blend, you can use a small, dense foundation brush or a damp beauty sponge for application to avoid staining. Wash your hands immediately after applying if using your fingers.

Ensure your skin/lips are clean and free of excessive oils or heavy balms before application. For increased longevity and vibrancy, layer the tint a second time once the first layer has dried. On lips, you can also apply a lip primer beforehand.

Always ensure the cap is securely fastened after each use to prevent air exposure. Store in a cool, dry place. If the product has thickened significantly, it may be past its optimal shelf life.
