Model Co Cheeks and Lips Tint

I received this cheek and lips tint with a beauty box. It is slightly thicker in texture then the Bene-tint, but still quite liquid. I tend to apply this with my fingers, but this will stain them- I'm yet to find a better way of applying these liquid stain formulations. I will preface this review by saying that I NEVER use this on my cheeks. It simply is too fast a drying product, therefore the liquid dries before you have a decent blend. I seem to go in phases between loving this on my lips, and finding it just too high maintenance to get it right. Your lips have to be in good shape- if they are at all dry or chapped this will cling in all the worst ways to these patches. I make sure I have applied some lip-balm a few minutes before I try using this. When your lips are in good condition I absolutely love the rich berry flush this gives your lips- absolutely perfect for autumn and winter. The effect is very natural, like you've just taken a bite of a red plum. The stain is quite long-lasting, and doesn't seem to dry my lips out over the course of the day like other stains can (I'm looking at you Bene-tint). If you could somehow get this stain in a balm like formulation I would love it like I love my children. Because it can be so finicky with dry lips, it doesn't get full marks from me.

I'm not sure what happened to the 'cheeks' part because the liquid dried really quickly and since I'm not makeup artist whatsoever I found it quite a challenge. Also the stuff really stains your fingers and it also feels quite dry after being applied.

The sheer, subtle hint of colour gave my cheeks a beautiful, slightly flushed look and left my lips ever-so-lightly stained. Initially, I was a little surprised by the colour when it first came out of the tube - a dark raspberry red! But a little goes a long way and it ended up being a pretty, rosy pink colour once applied.

This is a stain, so it doesn't provide much moisture and topping it off with a lip gloss, lip balm or wearing it under a red or deep pink lipstick works well. Doing this will give your lipstick more depth of colour and will ensure that there is still colour on your lips if your lipstick does happen to fade during the day.

This is a great product to use if you're heading out to the beach for the day or spending the day outdoors and don't want to look like you're wearing a lot of make-up.

There is one small thing that I don't like about this product: it does stain your fingertips. Using a cotton bud (Q-Tip) to apply it to your lips can prevent your finger from being stained, but the best way to apply it to your cheeks is with your fingertips. A sponge or brush could be used, but it may take a little practice to get the blending perfect.

I love the colour, nice pigment, nice dewy finish. BUT very hard for me to apply as the consistency was a bit runny and thick at the same time, stained mt fingers applying it and dint really sit well on my face. I liked it as a light lip stain though as is a very pretty colour. Love the packaging its very bright and playful, i brought it from farmers on special for $12.99 so was affordable, but just not me.

Ive tried a couple of cheek tints in the past and have never been 100% sold on them, but despite this I still gave this one a go. I felt that it didn't sit well on my face and didn't feel like it set. It was a bit difficult to apply and gloopy, also and it stained my finger and i had to wash them with makeup remover. I did find that it was an ok lip tint but nothing to exciting. All in all I wont be getting this again, didn't work for me.

I'm not sure how to use it on my cheeks as it dries pretty fast, so I have no time to correct mistakes and I'm not a pro, so this is no use for me on my cheeks. Also I really hate how it stains my fingers and then I have to wash my hands at least 3 times and rub them really hard! At least it's long-lasting, aye!?:)

I used it on my lips with a lip-brush and I liked the nice, natural subtle color, but I still prefer lipsticks to be honest, but I'll still use this sometimes just for mixing it up.

I got this in a Sample Bar box and, while it does do a good job (pretty colour and stains well) I find it to be really messy and annoying as it stains your hands if you use a finger to touch it up! Soap and water won't get this one off either. I also find that this can stain a little patchy sometimes, so can be really fiddly.

This is a lovely natural lip tint, it's a light/medium berry shade and compliments an everyday makeup look well. It has a lightweight consistency which as good as it doesn't look like you have a lot of product on your lips.
