This Iconic Benefit Product Just Had An Update – And It's Better Than Ever
Few beauty products enjoy the same level of fame and success as Benefit's Benetint. While there are lots of lip stains available in 2025, from peels to felted markers, it was Benefit's OG product that put the revolutionary long-wear, budge-proof formula on the map in 1976. 49 years later, the San Franciscan brand's first-to-market beauty product shows no sign of waning and it's got the numbers to prove it. Boasting a whopping one billion views on TikTok, one bottle of this blush sold every 11 seconds in 2024 and three million vials sold that year alone. It seems the buzz around the internet's favourite lip-to-cheek multitasker is about to reach fever pitch, as Benefit introduces two new shades into the fold for the first time ever: Raspberry and Dark Cherry, which are on sale right now for £19.10 at Sephora. Cementing its iconic status, the brand has teamed up with Desi Perkins, mega influencer and founder of @deziskin, to create the DEZI X Benetint Dark Cherry Sunglasses and Lip & Cheek Stain Set, which includes a pair of cherry-pink coated Dezi sunglasses, a custom pink case, and a full-size Benetint Lip & Cheek Stain in the new Dark Cherry hue. While the $95 limited edition kit is exclusively available at Sephora USA, the collaboration has already helped to ensure that Dark Cherry is a sell-out success. Sameeha Shaikh, beauty writer, using Dark Cherry The new colour expansion welcomes hues of ruddy brown in Dark Cherry, and berry pink for Raspberry, giving us a whole new way to enjoy the cult classic. Unlike other Benetint iterations like the Floratint and Playtint, the two newcomers share the same well-loved formula as the original, that being a natural-looking flush of long-lasting, non-drying colour that is smudge, transfer, water and humidity-proof. If you're into a monochrome make-up moment (guilty as charged), the multitasker can be swiftly swiped across lips and cheeks for a lightweight sheer look that can be built up all while guaranteeing a believable second-skin finish, thanks to its barely-there watercolour-resembling stain. Jean and Jane Ford, the twin founders of Benefit, actually created the Benefit Benetint as a nipple enhancer for exotic dancers, but almost 50 years on it's the secret to perking up our complexions. A flurry of A-listers including Winona Ryder, Nicole Kidman and even Rachel Zegler are known to love it, the latter of whom used it to create Snow White's classic red-lipped look in the 2025 live-action remake of the Disney classic. Swatches of Benefit's new Benetint in Raspberry (top) and Dark Cherry (bottom) Sameeha Shaikh, beauty writer, says: 'I am quite serious about blush; I often forgo all cheek products (like bronzer and contour) but will never complete my make-up without a stippling of something flesh-toned across my cheeks, nose, lids, temples and chin. I did say serious, didn't I? To feed my addiction while avoiding blush blindness – there's a fine line, I know – I have long held on to clever formulas that lend a breathable, buildable, natural skin finish, and that's where Benefit's original Benetint comes in. I've used it years and was doubtful that the OG stain could get any better, but I'm happy to report I stand corrected. While the original Benetint promises to stain cheeks with a perky rosey red colour that is perfect for summer, the new shades offer deeper, muted hues that I will likely lean on year-round. I've taken to Dark Cherry, a ruddy brown that works beautifully against my medium, olive complexion. It packs all the staying power of the original, meaning one application in the morning is enough to last me through most of the day, but offers up more options that will work across a plethora of skin tones and make-up moods.' 1.

TikTok is loving cool-toned makeup – here's how to try the 90s trend
Thanks to TikTok, the way we're doing our makeup is changing. Take the myriad brides-to-be asking the platform for tips ahead of their big day, or the re-appreciation for classic products — Benefit's Benetint, for one — so that those starting out on their journey can discover the products that stand the test of time. At the moment, creators and fans alike are extolling the virtues of cool-toned makeup, the trend that reigned supreme in the 80s and became eminently more wearable in the 90s. The trend, which sees products centre around cool greys, purples and browns as opposed to warm oranges and golds, champions muted tones to create sculpted, striking looks. Think Pamela Anderson with grey eye shadow and a frosted lip, or Alexa Demie with contoured cheekbones and a feline flick. Interested in trying, but don't know where to start? You have to fight the mind first, says M·A·C Global Senior Artist, Carly Utting. 'If you've always leaned towards the warmer tones of makeup, trying cooler tones can seem totally against your instincts,' she says. 'Slowly incorporating colder, greyer undertone products such as lip liners and blushers is a great place to start. 'M·A·Cs Lipliner in Stone is a firm fan favourite, bringing just the right amount of coolness to the edge of the lip, creating the most perfect 'lip contour' shade. M·A·Cs Pink Swoon blusher is a glorious 'cool' pink tone, it leaves 0 orange tone and instead is the perfect winterly chilly pink.' You can check your undertone by looking at the veins on your arms. Are they more blue or purple? Then you're a warm or pink undertone. If they're closer to green, you will usually be more of a cool or yellow/olive undertone. Cool-toned makeup works especially well if you have undertones of pinks and reds in your skin tone, making it a perfect choice for Celtic skin. Some cool-toned makeup from MAC and IT Cosmetics 'The cool contrasts of blue and grey complement the skin tone beautifully,' Utting continues. 'This being said, if you're an olive undertone makeup lover, a combination of both the more bronze/warmer tones alongside a dabble of cool is perfect.' Deciphering undertones can seem overwhelming. 'In my many years of doing makeup, this is definitely one of the topics that confuses people the most,' makeup artist and UK and Ireland Brand Ambassador for IT Cosmetics, Rose Gallagher, says. But there are ways to simplify. 'To begin, keep your cooler tones to any areas that you want to define. Skin naturally will have warmth to it, so anything cooler will look a bit more polished. Things like a blue-pink blush, for example, can be beautiful for creating an elegant and polished looking makeup, and a blue-red will do wonders to whiten the look of teeth and whites of eyes. If you'd prefer a more natural look, you might wish to opt for neutral or golden undertones.' When choosing new complexion products in different tones than usual, simply reading the product descriptions can be a big help. 'For foundation, for example, it can be as simple as choosing a different variation of your everyday shade,' Gallagher says. 'Let's say at IT Cosmetics, the Bye Bye Under Eye Concealer will have a C, N or W next to the shade name, indicating Cool, Warm or Neutral. You can stick to the same shade family (like Light or Deep), but just select a different undertone if you feel something is off. Then, when it comes to things like your bronzer or contour colour, I would try and find something two shades deeper than your natural complexion to begin with. That's another thing — contouring. How does one gauge the difference between contour products and bronzing products? 'Contour products are usually very cool in undertone and are designed to mimic natural shadow,' Gallagher says. 'The whole idea here is that you can emphasise the shadow placement on your face, for example under cheekbones or in the socket of the eye, to create more depth and sculpt the features somewhat. Seeing as shadow is always quite dark, there is no warmth in these. 'On the flipside, bronzer is going to create light and dark, but in a different way! This is usually much warmer in undertone, and designed to give a natural wash of colour all over, but with emphasis on areas that the sun would naturally hit. Using the same sort of principles, this adds structure to the face in a much more natural and soft way.' Gallagher's favourite tip with bronzer? 'It will always look more natural if you add some of your blusher into it — if you caught the sun ordinarily, you'd be a bit rosier as well as sun-kissed.'

Lip stains are having a moment—here's 6 of the best to shop
From tinted oils to conditioning sleeping masks, there's never been a better time to keep your pout in tip-top condition. Now, a new iteration of lip care is earning its time in the spotlight: none other than the powerful lip stain. We're all seeking more ease in our days, and a long-wearing lip stain is one way to attain it. TikTok-viral versions have seen beauty content creators like Olivia Jade and Sarah Cheung coat their lips in a layer of questionable navy, only to wipe it away and reveal a berry-vibrant hue underneath. @oliviajadegthe skin boost ✨🪄♬ Soft Sunlight (Lofi) – Prodbyecho Designed to impart colour all day, the best stains on the market have a few crucial properties in common. The first is that their vivid shades do as they say and stay on all day, holding their own against hurdles like feathering, water-fading and smudging. Secondly, they'll ideally provide colour that's buildable, so you can veer from natural to bold as you please. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, they'll provide lasting colour without dryness or damage. The new formulas are excellent at this, incorporating skincare benefits like hyaluronic acid and vitamin E to lock in moisture and nourishment as well as pigment. Without further ado, cast your eyes upon Vogue Singapore's edit of the best lip stains to shop now. From enduring cult classics (we'll always have Benetint) to new-gen innovations, there's a tint out there for everyone… Courtesy of Clarins 1 / 6 Clarins Water Lip Stain Clarins' make-up offerings are built on a skincare-first approach, and that's certainly the case with their new Water Lip Stain formula. Feeling featherlight on the lips thanks to a 75% water-based composition, and incorporating the silky, hydrating Water-Shot Complex, build up your chosen hue in sheer stains for matte boldness. Clarins Water Lip Stain, $48, available at Clarins Courtesy of Dior 2 / 6 Dior Addict Lip Tint in 671 Natural Raspberry Dior's summer beauty collection has arrived, and with it an invitation to be whisked away to the sparkling French Riviera courtesy of its bursting colour. Here, the Addict Lip Tint has been reimagined in a vibrant raspberry shade. Infused with cherry oil for maximum comfort, this is a veil of colour to endure through any beach day. Dior Addict Lip Tint in 671 Natural Raspberry, $62, available at Dior Courtesy of Wonderskin 3 / 6 Wonderskin Wonder Blading Lip Stain Masque Having attained viral status on TikTok last year, this is one much-beloved lip stain. Utilising patent-pending Liquid Blading technology, lips are infused with rich pigment before sealing in to withstand water, smudges and transfers all day. Apply, set and wipe away to unveil lasting colour for a look that's low-maintenance, yet high-impact. Wonderskin Wonder Blading Lip Stain Masque, $36.89, available from Amazon Courtesy of Fenty Beauty 4 / 6 Fenty Beauty Poutsicle Hydrating Lip Stain For those who assume a lip stain necessitates a drying effect for lasting power, Fenty Beauty dispels all such fears. Hydration and high shine are the goals of this striking tint, available in six shades. Formulated with an oil-in-water innovation and squalene, you're guaranteed a quench that's as durable as its colour. Fenty Beauty Poutsicle Hydrating Lip Stain, $42, available at Sephora Courtesy of Sacheu 5 / 6 Sacheu Lip Liner Stay-n There's nothing like a distinct lip liner to frame your pout. Ensure yours stays in place with this long-wear lip-lining stain from Sacheu, brainchild of beauty content creator Sarah Cheung. Infused with nourishing hyaluronic acid and vitamin E, apply and dry on your lip line before peeling to reveal a vividly defined kisser. Sacheu Lip Liner Stay-n, $17.07, available from Revolve Courtesy of Benefit 6 / 6 Benefit Cosmetics Benetint Dark Cherry Lip & Cheek Tint The best classics only improve with time—and that's an apt adage for this new shade of the perennially loved Benetint. Ever since it was first custom-made for an exotic dancer back in 1976, this iconic lip and cheek tint has been a staple of beauty bags the world over. Bearing its signature long-lasting, natural finish, the tint is now available in two new hues: Dark Cherry and Raspberry. Both flattering flushes, we love the former for its buildable intensity.
