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

I have been looking for a subtle… (keyword is subtle), lip tint for I don’t even know how long. At least a year. I’ve tried everything from the pH changing lip stains, water tints, Etude, Chinese knockoffs… and every other Benetint knock off they have out there… and EVERYTHING makes me look like a clown. Way too pigmented for me to wear, and drys down so fast that you have to be The Flash to wipe it off, else you look like you’ve been drinking too much cherry Kool-Aid at the fair.But this… This right here…? This is exactly what I have been looking for. Some people have naturally pinkish lips. Just a flush of color. But me, my lips are the same color as the rest of the skin on my face. This product gives me that flush of color on my lips that I have been looking for. Now I have not tried the actual Benetint before, well, because I am “frugal” and can’t justify spending $27 on a little tiny thing of lip tint. So I can’t say for sure that it’s a dupe. But even on its own, it is amazing. I got it delivered 30 minutes ago tried it on and have already re-ordered two more! I think according to the , maybe some people have gotten bad batches, but mine came perfect. No leakage, you could tell it was brand new never used. And the color is wonderful. Just exactly what I’ve wanted. In the picture, I applied one layer on top and bottom lip. Let it set for about 10 to 15 seconds and then blotted once with a wipe. And now I also have “naturally “ pink lips too! Finally part of the “My Lips but Better” club! This will be my every day go to you for sure.If you’re on the fence, I say just get it. I wish I had sooner!

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

I’ve recently tried this lip and cheek stain, and I’m thoroughly impressed with its performance overall. The color payoff is gorgeous—it provides a natural flush to both my lips and cheeks that lasts for a few hours. The formula is lightweight, not sticky, and dries quickly without feeling dry or uncomfortable.On the lips, it’s a great alternative to traditional lipsticks, giving a subtle tint that isn’t too bold but still noticeable. On the cheeks, it blends effortlessly into the skin . It’s ideal for a no-makeup makeup look or layering with other products. The reason I gave it 4 stars is because it does not last all day, but for the price is a very good product. Overall, it's a fantastic product that I’ll keep in my makeup routine for its versatility.

Now I'm in my 40s I wear lip stains often. I've tried so many and the majority disappoint me because the unnatural colors look clownish. THIS IS THE PERFECT SHADE!! THEY NAILED IT!! Honestly I'm in LOVE!! Do yourself a favor and BUY IT!! ❤️

Update: the manufacturer sent me a new bottle of this and I love it!

I loved it so subtle

I like the color but the product really dries out my lips. I put a hydrating lip stick on over the tint one and it helped somewhat.

Got this for my daughter, as I refuse to spend $24 on a piece of makeup, so this was a compromise! It works about as well as the name brand, but my daughter did mention that it didn’t blend as well/easily. Color stays for a while though!
