San Francisco’s own Benefit Cosmetics is introducing a hot new product for cheeks and lips: Chachatint. It’s the latest addition to Benefit’s line-up of popular cheek and lip tints, which includes Benetint and Posietint. This peachy mango stain is a total must-have for a variety of skin tones and an ideal beauty product for summer.
What’s to Love
- The Color. The color is a warm, peachy mango that looks a bit jarring in the bottle but blends into a pretty, flattering peachy shade on the skin (see photo below). It doesn’t look orangey or overly bright. Instead it warms up the skin tone, gives a healthy-looking flush and looks especially gorgeous under a bronzer like Benefit Hula. It also seems to have more pigment than the pink stain Posietint so you get better color payoff and don’t need to apply as much (see swatches in slideshow).
- Staying Power. Chachatint is a stain so it has great staying power. It really lasts from day to night and doesn’t melt away in hot temperatures so it’s ideal for summer.
- Easy. The liqui-gel formula is easy to work with. It doesn’t dry so quickly that you have to race to blend it. Just apply a few dots on the cheeks, blend and voila!
- Double-Duty Beauty. This can be used on both cheeks and lips so it’s a nice time-saver.
