theBalmStainiac Lip & Cheek Stain, Aloe-Infused Formula, Multi-Use, Buildable, Pigmented , 0.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)

I actually prefer Benetint to this, but only marginally more. When I ran out of my Benetint the last time I decided to give this a try since it is 1/2 the price ($17 vs. $30). I found that it is definitely comparable and has the same all-day staying power, but I think that the Benetint is slightly (only slightly) more natural looking on me. I'm not sure if it's a tiny difference in the color, or just my imagination, but I had decided to just spend the extra money and get the Benetint again until I saw that Amazon had Stainiac for under $11. I couldn't justify passing that up, so it will be Staniac (Beauty Queen - I haven't tried any other shade) again for the next 6 months till this tube runs out.If you've never used either, try it! I'm almost 40 and haven't worn makeup other than blush, lip gloss and eye makeup since high school. I have very oily skin, and so powder and crème blush just seem to collect in a shiny circle on my cheek after a few hours, and then disappear when I try to blend it back in. The stains are amazing! They give me a nice, youthful, natural flush that's still there until I wash my face for bed at night. I can't attest to how it works over or under makeup, but on bare skin it's perfect!

This little tube will last you for a long time. You only need a small "swipe" across the cheek-- and then blend, blend, blend! I love a pinky cheek and this will last all day long. Even when my other make up starts to fade, I feel like I look "fresh" because my cheeks are still glowing. I am a stay at home mom, so my make up takes a beating during the day. This will last through naps (yes sometimes I nap!), days at the park, errands around town, etc! It is super quick to put on in the morning and can be part of the simplest makeup routine (tinted moisturizer and mascara) or with a glamorous look for date night. It works as a lip stain as well, but I will say that is the secondary way I use it-- I prefer it most as a blush! Someday I will order the other color too, just to try it. But I love this one so much (and was surprised how natural it looks considering how bold it looks in the tube) that I haven't been brave enough to branch out. Coloring-- I am fair skinned, usually wearing the lightest or second lightest shade of foundation, I have light brown hair, and brown eyes. (just figured a point of reference might help those fair skinned beauties trying to decide if this will make you look like a clown or not ;) Don't worry-- it goes on very sheer and you can control the intensity depending on how much you choose to us!)

I wear this product EVERY SINGLE DAY. Super buildable and light. Can go from super sheer to super pigmented. Does not run off and last HOURS. Not transferable once dry.I could never find a lil color that looks good with my skin color and this has been the only product that works for me. I do want to say that I can sometimes have dry lips and the tint makes it more apparent but I either use a lip gloss or lip balm on top and it’s all fixed.

There are two kinds of girls-red lipstick girls, and the rest of us.I always wanted to be a red lippie type, with my trend-setting clothing, my Sassoon sharp haircut and my cat's eye glasses. But I'm a jeans wearing, curly haired, neutral lipstick shade type, and I've accepted it.But I got a teeny sample of this in one of those monthly surprise bags, ipsy maybe. I didn't use it, in fact, I threw it in my makeup drawer to give away to a friend.I don't know why, but next time I came across it, my red lip desires, overwhelmed and I opened it.Now, those samples are small so I couldn't really read the packaging. So when I opened it, I was surprised to find it was not red lipstick, but a clear red gel, usable for lips and cheeks. Still, I swiped some on my lips and got a very faint blush of pinky red. It's a stain, not a lipstick. Very pretty. Another swipe, a deeper red. It's very adjustable.I really liked it. Not only is it a pretty-colored stain, it stained exactly the right amount to get me a red I desired without overpowering my face. I wear this with IT's cosmetics blue gloss over and I get lots of compliments.I'm sure it'd be nice on checks too.

The best thing about this is the color/shade. The worst thing is that IF you wanna call it a stain, the only thing it stains is the inside of your lips, like some sort of backwards lip pencil. (Like you've been drinking Kool-Aid.) It looks great when fresh. But it does not stain your lips :(

This is my favorite lipstain of all time. It is super versatile. You can put it on lightly, for a blushed, no-makeup look, or layer it a bit more and create a sensuous pout for an evening on the town. It also works well on your cheeks, just use it lightly, as a little goes a long way. It lasts pretty well through eating and drinking, but you may need a touch up here and there to keep a darker color. It is a bit drying on your lips, but that doesn't bother me because I always use a gloss over it anyway. The stain is not shiny, it adds color to my pale lips, so the gloss is for shine and a finished look. Beauty Queen is my favorite color because it goes with my red-head, pale skin really well and looks very natural. I highly recommend it!

I have bought this lip stain many times from other sellers and it's been great. But, this seller sent a used, old, goopy product with hardly anything in the tube. Do not buy from this seller!

I was very upset to discover that there were several ingredients listed on the tube that are not listed on the outer cardboard packaging... which is shown in the seller’s photos! It is a literal laundry list of coloring and other chemicals that I did not intend on putting on my skin. Unfortunately, I didn’t notice this immediately, rather after a few days of use. I will say, the color is beautiful. The texture is nice. It lasted a long time. However, I would never have purchased a product with these ingredients... and even if I would have the seller should have to disclose the all of the ingredients, and those should match inner and outer packaging. Super disappointed Amazon.

Benutze es seit Jahren - die Farbe hält lange und kann sowohl als Rouge als auch für die Lippen verwendet werden, ohne dass es unnatürlich aussieht. Die Anwendung ist für mich angenehmer als Puder- oder Cremerouge, es hält deutlich länger und bisher keine Hautirritationen (Mischhaut).

Me encanta para el uso diario, ya que solo da un color muy sútil a los labios y ayuda a no verme tan pálida, también sirve como rubor. No es un labial tal cual, solo da tono a labios y mejillas

Me encanta, multifuncional y buena pigmentación. No dura todo el día paro muy fácil si quieres retocar!

I love this product. I use it on my cheeks and my lips. I live in a hot climate year round and this has staying power with subtle, natural looking color.

I've been buying this cheek tint for years. I hope they never stop making it. It's so easy to apply and you can give different looks depending on how much you apply. It feels clean and light on skin.
