Anyone's using this product, Benetint by Benefit. Will it be too red for the cheeks? Will the colour suits the Asian Skins? How would you rate the product?

Blumarooz,

I use Benetint and I love it! It looks very natural and the "redness" depends on how many drops you put on your cheeks. What I do is I draw 2 short lines across my cheeks, each side, and pat them in. After a while, it blends in nicely. I would recommend it.

It's nice but there are good alternatives such as Origin's Pinch Your Cheeks.

It's jsut too overpriced and the packaging is not user friendly in a way that it's so easy to spill (I've spilled one) and break (I've broken one). Just not user friendly. And after seeing that the benetint contains sodium hydroxide, I don't dare use it on my lips anymore.

I wrote a comparison on this product on my blog. can have a look:

It's really nice. I'm quite fair (MAC NC20) so it gives me a nice glow. But I have to agree with smellyocheese abt the packaging. It's horrible. Although the product can last a long time (2 short streaks is all you need in each side), the screw on cap is really flimsy and mine broke after a while, spilling everything into my gym bag. Sigh..RM139 down the drain.

But I think they have a pocket version with a lip gloss on one side and Benetint on the other for RM89. Perhaps that packaging is better.

Yeah, I love the product but not user friendly. My finger will get stained after each application.....

I found the cheekhue from MAC a better alternative for me. Benetint seems to dry a little faster than i can blend it down. I'm not tanned nor am I far. I guess you can say it's the typical chinese kinda yellow/orangey shade ^^;;; So benetint appears almost too pink on me even with a light application. Maybe it will be better if in the future there would be one with a more apricot tone to it ^^

they have something new called posie tint isn't it??

hmm.. for me, benetint taste bitter when put on lips..

when put on cheek.. looks natural.. not those powdery blusher finissh..

anyway.. i think this product is a bit overrated...

where to buy benetint?

i used it b4, but when i bought Shiseido and Shu blusher, then i abandoned it...

I've broken the cap for twice, then i request a replacement cap from their web site since i bought it online, then they courier it to me, very efficient service!! Although the colour is very lasting, but now i still prefer to use powder type
