essenceWhat a Tint! Lip & Cheek Tint | Long-Lasting Liquid Blush & Lip Stain | Non-Sticky & Kiss-Proof | Vegan & Cruelty Free (01 | Kiss from a Rose)ClimatePartner certified

This is extremely pigmented. I'll probably try the other two colors for different looks. (I got the rose one). HOLD IT UPRIGHT. It is liquid and will spill if you don't. A little goes a long way. It stained my lips really well through eating. It does fade maybe halfway through the day about 40% if you're eating, drinking, sweating, but the color at that point is still pigmented and pretty. And reapplication takes two seconds. It's non drying. It feels super soft on the lips and not sticky. The taste is a little weird initially, don't lick your lips while it's drying lol. It was a habit on accident. But after drying, it was fine. No flavor.Natural looking tint, the photo was my first use with the tint applicator but I got better at using it. The liquid formula can move/settle while it's drying so making sure there's no settled liquid is important. Basically use your finger or a brush to tap it in. That's it. Love the quality.

I am an essence fan and have really liked these liquid blush tints since using the original Benetint years ago. I'm not sure about the rules of naming brands but I can say this has a doe foot applicator versus the paintbrush style; and I like it because I prefer dotting on this product before blending it out with a brush then my sponge blender. Regardless it is easy to apply and it gives a flushed look that is transfer proof and stays on all day / night. The shade is nearly universal; I haven't met anyone that said it didnt work for them- granted some felt the need to layer it for pigment and others diffused it more but all could wear it with or without other shades. The bottle is small but when it only takes a few dots of product it should easily last you over 6 months or a year. For me, I mix my products and I can say the expiration date came up before I was halfway through it and I used it at least 2 or more times a week! With regard to more expensive but similar products, the quality is still here: it doesn't flake nor dry out, the pigment doesn't change, there is no odor and for some reason it is asking me to comment on the "taste" but please do NOT eat this product!

I purchased the essence | What a Tint! Lip & Cheek Tint after looking for an affordable product that could add a natural flush to both my lips and cheeks—and it definitely delivers.The formula is lightweight and easy to blend, especially on the cheeks. It gives a soft, healthy glow that doesn’t look overdone. On the lips, it applies smoothly and gives a nice tint that lasts several hours without feeling sticky or drying. It’s more of a sheer wash of color than a bold pigment, which I personally prefer for everyday use.✅ What I Liked:• Dual-use product saves space and time• Natural, buildable color• Doesn’t clog pores or irritate sensitive skin• Affordable price point• Compact and travel-friendly❌ What Could Be Improved:• Color fades more quickly on lips compared to cheeks, especially after eating or drinking• May require reapplication for longer wearOverall, I’m very happy with this purchase. It’s a great option if you’re looking for something easy, natural, and budget-friendly. I’ll likely repurchase and recommend it to others who prefer a fresh-faced, minimalist makeup look.

I absolutely love this product so far. I've just tried it on for the first time. It's not as intimidating to use as I had feared. I was afraid it would dry to fast to be blend out on the cheeks properly. It was perfect though. On the lips, it dries in 90-120 seconds. Feels very sheer and lightweight. I love the fact that I can do this in the morning and be done for the day. So far, it lasts and the color is just lovely. My lips are so pale naturally, and this gives me just a perfect natural flush!

The color is beautiful, but it leaves the lips very dry 🙁

Absolutely worth it. This is the first stain I’ve tried that works this quickly and lasts this long. I exfoliated my lips first, so after I blotted away the initial application there was absolutely no residue remaining or line settling — only plush pink lips!After blotting the first layer away, I totally recommend adding another right where your lips meet/along the innermost part of the lip. It really makes them pop and adds dimension. Plus this layers so nicely, just make sure your lips are prepped and you get looongg lasting transfer-proof pigment!For reference, I only leave each layer on my lips for like 10 seconds and keep a baby wipe in hand. It works that quickly. When I’m using it as blush or a nose tint I wipe *immediately* after (in circular motions so the pigment looks natural) and repeat that 2-3 times to get the perfect rosey hue.I usually note dryness when attempting lip stains, or they make my lips peel faster regardless of being moisturized and hydrated. Thank goodness that was not the case with this product.A quick, warm, soft bristle toothbrush exfoliation before application — followed by one application of lip butter afterwards — and my lips stayed pillowy soft all day!10/10 ★ I absolutely recommend! No matter how you choose to prep your lips or moisturize them after, you’ll only find yourself possibly wanting another swipe of lip balm after meals. There is literally no loss of pigment when eating.. and the snacker in me appreciates that LOL

One coat is subtle but you can layer it if you want the color to be extra vibrant. I actually really like this. I usually use it as a lip liner or lip tint but recently I’ve started usuing it as a blush too🤷‍♀️. The color is pinker then you think if that makes sense, but still worth it. I apply it in the morning and it stays on the whole day. Also, it tastes kind of fruity if you happen to get it in your mouth. Only problem is that it STAINS (counters, teeth, etc) and the packaging is really small.
