Benefit Posie Tint Poppy Pink Tinted Lip & Cheek Stain 6ml

Product Information

Benefit High Beam itself is a soft peach color. Blended, it’s a light shimmery milky shade that highlights the skin for reflective glow. Want to intensify the color? No problem! Simply add a few more dots and blend until you achieve your desired level of pigment. Benetint is buildable, so you can dial up the intensity without looking like you’ve gone overboard.

First, Posietint comes in a container with an opaque coloring, and the bottle color is not the color of the product! To me, the bottle is a little peachy or coral, while the stain itself is definitely a blue-based pink. If you’re looking for a warmer color I would suggest looking elsewhere.

Boy, are we glad that Elf Cosmetics has come to Ireland. The budget brand is really giving more expensive products a run for their money

I tried Posietint on my cheeks as well, and it gave a lovely, sheer hint of color. It would look gorgeous yet understated on pale-skinned ladies, and would probably work well on fair to medium complexions layered under or over a bronzer! answered already. Comments alerting us to typos or small errors in the post are appreciated (!) but One great thing about Posietint is that you can build up the intensity of the stain, either on lips or on cheeks. Just keep layering and blending it onto cheeks (or lips!) to increase the color until you get to the level you desire. I’d say I like it more on cheeks than lips, but on lips it helps add more “natural” pink to my otherwise kind of muted-mauve-dead lips. Wondering how to create a sweet strawberry makeup look? We've got just the thing to add the perfect pop of berry goodness to your cheeks... Benetint!

Using the brush applicator, dot three small drops of Benetint on the apples of your cheeks. Don't forget to smile! We recommend applying one cheek at a time for best results. Then use your fingertips or a makeup brush to blend outward in circular motions. This will give you a sweet and natural-looking flush, just like a ripe strawberry. It’s in a creamier formula so that you can get precise application without it worrying about running. Unlike the blush tints, High Beam by Benefit gives you plenty of time to dillydally. It blends well even if you’ve left it on the skin for many seconds. You can use this underneath your brows, on the corners of your eyes, to highlight your cheekbones, and even dab a bit on your pout. Benefit Benetint is a thin liquid – it makes application a little difficult because it does run. I find that you have a bit more time with this as to when to blend. If left on too long without blending, it doesn’t stain the cheeks in one spot. The liquid sort of disperses itself onto your skin – almost like it’s auto blending. Lol. But I’d still blend with your fingers for more precise application. Can be used on lips and cheeks. I was convinced to get this value set because of Benefit High Beam. It is, however, my least favorite of the products. That’s because it doesn’t last me the whole day and disappears around the 4-hour mark. Sad face -> :(. Pros Summerproof makeup — stays on longer than powder blushes, less likely to budge/smear Have you tried Benefit’s Posietint? What did you think?

Very bright and much too sparkly/golden for my taste. Squeezing the tube felt like using super-saturated watercolor paints — the tiniest drop was enough to cover a lot of surface area. If you try this one, proceed slowly, building color as you go. Otherwise you’ll look too flushed.

Finally, I have to give a mention to a couple of my HG shadows: MAC Femme-fi (a limited edition, but was just re-released with the Sugarsweet collection, so you can find it now) is the best, soft gold I have found for my complexion! It is shimmery and lovely and looks amazing highlighting the inner corner or the browbone! Second, NARS Abyssinia single is a beautiful, light creamy pearl. It is perfect for an all-over base shade or, again, as a highlight on the browbone. It is also permanent (yay)! Benefit Posie Tint is one of those multi-use products that will just lift your skin and brighten up your look - and you know how I feel about multi-use products. We appreciate enthusiasm for new releases but ask readers to please hold questions regarding if/when The timing of when to blend is crucial. If you blend right away after applying it, it doesn’t tint the cheeks enough. But if you wait too long, then it’s really hard to blend because the product would have left a stain on your cheeks. In one of the swatches, I left it on for too long while I grabbed my camera and adjusted the zoom. I usually apply it, count to two, and then blend. Can be used on lips and cheeks.

My Account

Posietint can be used for a variety of things. It's a cheek tint, lip tint, and eye tint. The colour gives a light rosy glow to the face, unlike a powder based blusher. You can apply in on a tinted moisturiser if you like the natural look or you can apply it over your foundation and powder on top to keep it even more subtle. If you hate the feeling of wearing something on your lips, but you always feel you need a bit of colour, something like this is ideal as it stains the lips and really stays put all day long.
