Benefit Love Tint is a fiery-red, buildable tinted lip and cheek stain that delivers a natural flush of color with a long-lasting finish. It’s part of Benefit's popular range of lip and cheek stains, known for their versatility and easy-to-use formulas. Here’s a breakdown of its features and how to use it:
Features:
- Dual-purpose product: It can be used on both lips and cheeks, providing a natural, flushed look to both areas. It’s especially handy for creating a cohesive, monochromatic look.
- Buildable color: Love Tint offers a sheer wash of color with one application, but you can layer it to achieve a deeper, more intense red as desired.
- Long-lasting formula: The stain lasts for hours, giving you a flush of color that stays put without fading or smudging.
- Lightweight texture: The formula is lightweight and non-greasy, making it comfortable to wear throughout the day. It won’t feel sticky or heavy on the skin.
- Natural finish: It leaves a soft, natural finish, giving you a "just-kissed" look without looking too heavy or cakey.
- Buildable: You can easily adjust the intensity depending on how much product you apply, making it suitable for both subtle and bold looks.
- Perfect for on-the-go: The packaging is compact and travel-friendly, making it a great option for quick touch-ups or for adding a pop of color while traveling.
How to Use:
For Lips:
- Prep your lips: Start by exfoliating your lips to remove any dry skin and applying a lip balm if needed for hydration.
- Apply the stain: Use the applicator wand to apply a thin layer of Love Tint directly onto your lips. You can start in the center and work your way out, making sure the color is evenly distributed.
- Blend it out: Quickly use your fingertip or a lip brush to blend the color for a smooth, even finish. The stain sets fast, so blend it before it fully dries.
- Build up the color: If you want a more intense red, apply a second or third layer, building up the color to your desired intensity.
For Cheeks:
- Prep your face: Start with a clean, moisturized face. If you use foundation or primer, apply that first.
- Apply to cheeks: Dab 1-2 dots of Love Tint directly onto the apples of your cheeks or along the cheekbones, depending on where you want the flush.
- Blend quickly: Use your fingertips or a makeup sponge to blend the product out in circular motions. It’s best to blend quickly, as the formula dries fast and can be harder to blend once it sets.
- Layer for more color: If you want a more intense flush, apply another layer and blend it out. You can continue to build the intensity for a more vibrant look.
Tips:
- For a natural flush: Use a very small amount and blend quickly for a subtle, natural-looking color that mimics a real flush.
- For longer-lasting wear: Set with a translucent powder or a light mist of setting spray to ensure the color stays in place all day.
- On-the-go: Keep the applicator wand handy for quick lip or cheek touch-ups. You can even use your fingers for a more casual, fuss-free application.
Benefit Love Tint is a versatile and easy-to-use product that’s great for creating a fresh, radiant look on both lips and cheeks. It’s perfect for those who want a pop of long-lasting color without the need for reapplication throughout the day.
