Spring Cheek: Benefit Lolli Tint

I went to Benefit the other day with the intention of getting the good old BeneTint as I’d just run out. Instead I saw the new Lolli Tint and was immediately drawn to its bright and super perky shade. This just screams out spring cheek to me!

Benefit Lolli Tint

It’s a creamy pink shade with purple undertone and works exactly the same as the Benetint. It creates a stain that won’t budge until you use makeup remover to take it off at the end of the day. I LOVE this shade. It’s very brightening yet softening at the same time and it creates a very flattering photoshopped complexion.

It does dry pretty fast and you have to be quite quick with this because once the stain sets you won’t be able to blend it out or wipe it off without makeup remover. So what I like to do is to put a few droplets on my Real Technique’s Stippling brush and just stipple and blend to my cheek and for me this is the perfect way to apply it.

Another added bonus is it can also be used as a lip stain. You can keep building up the colour to be as sheer or as intense as you like. I normally apply two coats and it gives a lovely bright fuchsia shade that easily goes with everything. This is definitely going to be one of my makeup staples this spring.
