Customer Reviews of Benefit Cosmetics Benetint
Customer Review: "Natural" beauty in a bottle
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm on my second bottle of Benetint now. This isn't because I used up the first one--my initial bottle fell victim to dehydration when the cap cracked. Apparently, this was a very common problem because the plastic was very thin and brittle. After the bottle dried up into kind of a yucky crimson goo, I decided to go out and buy another bottle and be extra-super-duper careful with the lid.
Imagine my surprise when I found that Benefit had improved their lids dramatically by using (what seems to be) better plastic that is also reinforced on the inside. And they have also done something different with the lettering on the bottle--now the letters don't rub off over time to create a weird-looking alphabet soup on the side of your Benetint. To all this, I say "Bravo!" to Benefit for taking the time and money to improve a product that was selling like hotcakes regardless of the packaging flaws.
Ok, ok, I know that the price might seem a little steep. You know, before I started using this stuff, I thought that $28 was a lot to ask for a little bottle of red liquid. But even with daily use, this bottle will last at least a year (probably longer) so I'd say you get your money's worth. And it gives me such a natural, rosey flush that I think it's worth every penny. (BTW, I am a brunette with olive-toned skin.)
I've learned a lot about how to use this product through trial and error. I didn't used to wear foundation, so my normal routine was to glide on some moisturizer, rub on a little Benetint, then top with some translucent powder. That worked well enough, but I found that the lovely finished look I stepped out the door with just didn't stay put. By the end of the day, I was looking a ruddy, not rosey.
Nowadays, I've learned my lesson. I'm using Benefit Some Kind-A Gorgeous as a super-light foundation and then putting the Benetint on top. That way the product can do what it's really supposed to do--that is, stay in place all day with no need for touching up. I just paint three little stripes on the apples of my cheeks and blend gently with my ring finger. It's very important to use the ring finger for blending because (at least in my case) using my index or middle fingers just don't do the job. I think that they press down so hard that the Benetint just sort of disappears into my cheeks, whereas with the ring finger the stain seems to linger closer to the surface. I don't know, maybe I'm just imagining things. Anyway, this process takes maybe two minutes at the most. I top everything with a little bit of Benefit's Dandelion powder and I'm out the door. It's a pretty quick makeup routine.
Most days I also use Benefit as a lip stain. You have to be really careful at first when you're doing the lining and filling because the liquid can be a little bit tricky. But I think the effort is worth it because the stain really does last. Besides, when you do decided to do a touch-up during the day, the process is much less annoying. Just dab a bit into the middle of your lips and spread with your pinky. Easy. I only need to touch up right after meals. For the rest of time time, my lips retain that just-sucked-a-lollipop color.
So I think it's clear that I love Benetint. I'm very fond of it because of it's staying power and the natural rosiness of the flush, but I also enjoy using it as a matching lip stain. Using Benetint on cheeks AND lips gives me a very polished look, but one which is still natural and youthful.
Basically what I'm saying here is... try it! Just don't be like me and skip the foundation.
