Lip stains are having a real moment right now – from long lasting lip liner looks to kiss-proof tints that last all day. But when you think of the OG lip tint you can only think of Benefit.
The brand’s original, flagship product back in 1976, Benefit Benetint is a classic for a reason, with one sold every 11 seconds and three million sold in 2024 alone.
And now, social media’s favourite lip and cheek stain is officially available in two brand new shades: Dark Cherry and Raspberry, and like the original, they’re set to bring that perfect, natural-looking flush of colour that lasts.
Benefit Benetint Lip and Cheek Stain 6ml – Dark Cherry
Sheer and non-drying, the versatile tint easily swipes onto the lips to deliver a gorgeous flush of colour that lasts all day long – whether you opt for original Rose, juicy raspberry or sultry Dark Cherry.
Bouncing from viral moment to viral moment, Benefit’s Benetint is the perfect purse-friendly beauty essential for achieving naturally flushed, pinched cheeks and lips with just a few dots.
Sheer and non-drying, the versatile tint easily swipes onto the lips to deliver a gorgeous flush of colour that lasts all day long – whether you opt for original Rose, juicy Raspberry or sultry Dark Cherry.
Totally transfer-proof and smudge-proof, the buildable formula leaves a sweet tint on the lips that can be intensified to your perfect hue with additional layers, helping you keep that perfect pout all day long without the need for lippy top-ups.
And its not just for the lips, either. By popping a few dots of Benetint onto the cheeks and quickly blending out with your fingers, you’ll have a stunning, just-pinched flush of blush that lasts all day, ideal for those minimal makeup looks.
For the classic Benetint look, original Rose is the shade you’ll want to opt for. Boasting a hearty, rosy pink hue, this shade is the brand’s best-selling stain for good reason, leaving a universally stunning flush you’re sure to love.
After something a pinker? New Raspberry is a juicy dark magenta hue that’s gorgeous on both the lips and the cheeks, perfect for an eye-catching look.
And if you’ve been loving the cherry-toned looks taking the beauty world by storm then you’ll love new Dark Cherry and its deep berry tones that’ll look stunning on any skin tone.
Shoppers, unsurprisingly, can’t stop raving about how much they love Benetint, calling it the ‘perfect’ lip product and raving of its easy-to-use formula.
‘I absolutely love this tint,’ raved one five-star reviewer. ‘It smells wonderful and you can blend it to your preference. Very good pigment. Looks great on lips and cheeks. Definitely would buy this when I run out.’
Benefit's Bold is Beautiful campaign is back
Want to give back when you wax?
Benefit’s Bold is Beautiful campaign is back, which means throughout May, £5 from every brow wax booked at Benefit directly supports the brand’s longstanding charity partners: Refuge, Look Good Feel Better and Daisyhouse.
Benefit has collaborated with leading retain partners – Boots, John Lewis, M&S, Sephora and Selfridges to donate £5 from every brow wax booked in May – and you don’t have to do a single thing.
Better still, to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Bold is Beautiful, Benefit is treating those who book a brow wax to a free eye mask and complimentary lip and chin waxes, too. (While supplies last)
Since 2015, Benefit has raised enough funds to keep a refuge open for up to 3.5 years and host confidence-boosting makeup and skincare workshops for over 18,000 women. Globally, they’ve raised over $26.6 million, with nearly £2 million dedicated to supporting women and children in the UK and Ireland.
So what are you waiting for? Book your eyebrow wax and give back today.
Another added: ‘I got the colour shade Raspberry and it’s amazing. The texture is more like water and light. It is easy to apply with the brush. It gives a nice colour to the lips without drying or making it oily.’
‘This shade is so beautiful, and I feel so confident with it on. It is extremely easy to apply, as the lip tint itself has a very watery consistency. The packaging is so cute and compact, and I love how much product there is.’ Wrote a third.
