    I wasn't really sure about this, I tried dotting it on and blending and didn't get very good results. I then read about applying it lightly to a flat stippling brush and then applying it to my...

    This was pointless to me, the bottle is just sitting there on my shelve, ys it's a nice stain but it is SO not worth that much money, for what? A little redness? I can drink vimto and get that same...

    This stuff is awesome. The perfect lip and cheek stain. Layer some gloss over this stain and it has a "just bitten" look. As for my cheeks I use this when I only wear my tinted moisturizer. I...

    This is a beautiful red lip stain that looks as if you've spent the day eating popsicles. It's easy to apply although the product itself is watery. I find I have to use a lipstick sealer for it to...

    This is a really pretty red colour, which is super easy to apply (although I find the brush so ticklish that I rush through the process a lot). My only problem with this, and almost all tints that...

    Beautiful lip stain. I'm too scared to use this on my cheeks but I don't think I'd purchase it again because like other people said, it does find it's way to leak...one way or another. For lip...

    Love this as a lip stain with a gloss over it. Not so great as a blush on my skin, too difficult to apply. Watch when you use it on your lips that you do not splatter it on your clothes....washed...

    Hands down, this is the BEST lip stain. I've had it for years and I just know I'll keep buying. It gives me a natural, just bitten lips in an instant! If I'm too lazy to put on makeup or need a...

    I like this as a lipstain, gives a nice cherry look which compliments my natural lip colour. I havn't been able to get it to work as a cheek stain, doesn't blend as well as i'd like, but i'm...

    I'm not sure that Benetint would work too well on darker skintones as it's sheer so I doubt it would make a noticeable difference, but on my pale skin it's gives a natural looking rosy tint to lips...

    When BeneFit finally found its way over here- I had to try the much raved about Benetint. It was tricky to apply as I've always used powder blushers. Also, It dried out too fast to be able to...
