I am an essence fan and have really liked these liquid blush tints since using the original Benetint years ago. I'm not sure about the rules of naming brands but I can say this has a doe foot applicator versus the paintbrush style; and I like it because I prefer dotting on this product before blending it out with a brush then my sponge blender. Regardless it is easy to apply and it gives a flushed look that is transfer proof and stays on all day / night. The shade is nearly universal; I haven't met anyone that said it didnt work for them- granted some felt the need to layer it for pigment and others diffused it more but all could wear it with or without other shades. The bottle is small but when it only takes a few dots of product it should easily last you over 6 months or a year. For me, I mix my products and I can say the expiration date came up before I was halfway through it and I used it at least 2 or more times a week! With regard to more expensive but similar products, the quality is still here: it doesn't flake nor dry out, the pigment doesn't change, there is no odor and for some reason it is asking me to comment on the "taste" but please do NOT eat this product!

I actually love this. Originally I was using the Benefit Flora cheek and lip tint but this works just as well at a way better price point and I like the subtle sweet scent of it. Gotta let it dry for it to set before its smudge-proof. This is the perfect product for a radiant skin look, i apply it on top of my sunscreen on a bare face and it creates a dewy glow. I prefer very little as im not into an intense amount of blush, but it can be layered. I go for a naturally flushed look and this does the trick. it does wear off after a while but its travel size if you need to reapply.

Perfect Tint, Long-Lasting & Total Dupe for the Benefit One!I’m seriously impressed with this Essence Lip Tint — it’s become one of my favorite go-to products! If you love the Benefit lip tint but don’t love the price, this is such a great dupe at a fraction of the cost.The formula is super lightweight, but it gives just enough color to make your lips and cheeks look naturally flushed and fresh. The tint builds beautifully, and a little goes a long way — one swipe is more than enough for a soft, pretty finish. It doesn’t make my lips dry at all. Because you don’t need to use much, the bottle lasts a long time, making it a great value for the price.Color-wise, it’s very close to the original Benefit tint — that same natural-looking pinkish tone that flatters most skin tones. Plus, it’s super versatile: I’ve used it as a lip stain, a cheek tint, and even dabbed a little on my nose for that sun-kissed look. It blends in seamlessly and gives that effortless glow.And can we talk about the packaging? So cute and compact — perfect for tossing in your bag or makeup pouch. It doesn’t leak, and the applicator is easy to control so you don’t overdo it.If you’re into easy, natural-looking makeup and want a reliable, affordable tint, this is a total gem. I love it and will definitely repurchase!

This is extremely pigmented. I'll probably try the other two colors for different looks. (I got the rose one). HOLD IT UPRIGHT. It is liquid and will spill if you don't. A little goes a long way. It stained my lips really well through eating. It does fade maybe halfway through the day about 40% if you're eating, drinking, sweating, but the color at that point is still pigmented and pretty. And reapplication takes two seconds. It's non drying. It feels super soft on the lips and not sticky. The taste is a little weird initially, don't lick your lips while it's drying lol. It was a habit on accident. But after drying, it was fine. No flavor.Natural looking tint, the photo was my first use with the tint applicator but I got better at using it. The liquid formula can move/settle while it's drying so making sure there's no settled liquid is important. Basically use your finger or a brush to tap it in. That's it. Love the quality.

The color matches the photo but the product has no lasting power. It fades within the first hour to really not even noticeable. I think alip stain should stain your lips i didn't eveneat or drink anything and it still just disappeared. I got it because I thought I wouldn't need to reapply it as often as I do just to make it show. Kinda disappointed because the color is exactly what I wanted.

I’ve been using this for a few weeks now and I’m obsessed. The color payoff is intense—a bright pink that’s super similar to Benetint, but honestly even more pigmented. Fair-skinned folks might find it a bit overpowering.It stains fast, so you’ve got to work quickly when blending—definitely not the most beginner-friendly formula. But once you get the hang of it, it’s incredibly convenient and lasts all day. If you’re using it as a blush, I recommend swiping the applicator lightly across a blush brush and applying from there. It gives you way more control and a softer finish.Packaging is super cute: sturdy glass bottle and a great price point. Definitely a keeper in my makeup bag!

Cute, little bottle of liquid tint - a little dab goes a long way. The texture is watery, but it's easy to apply with the little sponge applicator that holds a lot of the liquid. A nice pinkish/cherry color that lasts a while (hours) on your lips and cheeks. It seems to last longer on your cheeks, especially if you lick your lips a lot. The scent is a bit cherry-like too, but has no taste. Does feel a bit drying on your lips though, but solved by swiping a bit of ChapStick over it. Great for a natural looking blush to your checks and rosiness on your lips 💋!

I really liked the color and it lasts more than others but unfortunately has a weird (chemical ) taste and my bf hates it cause he can taste it when he kisses me 😢
