Let’s get one thing straight: when Benefit Cosmetics does a lip tint, the world listens.
And this month, the cult-favourite Benetint—the original lip and cheek stain that first stole our hearts—has re-entered the spotlight with not one, but two new shades. If you thought you were loyal to the OG Rose, wait until you meet Dark Cherry and Raspberry.
These are not the only additions, but it’s an icon instantly. These aren’t just new additions. They’re instant icons. Perfect for soft-glam girlies and low-maintenance beauty lovers alike, the new Benetint shades collection proves that staying power, versatility, and sheer colour payoff can co-exist.
From Cult Classic to Colour Crush
Since its backstage debut decades ago (yes, it started as a nipple tint for dancers—true story), Benetint has become a staple in makeup bags worldwide. Its featherlight formula, buildable finish, and no-budge stain have earned it top-tier status in both minimalist routines and editorial kits.
Now, the beauty powerhouse expands on its legacy with two universally flattering hues:
- Benetint Raspberry: a vibrant berry-pink that gives instant freshness to any complexion. It’s youthful, juicy, and just dramatic enough to feel flirty without overpowering.
- Benetint Dark Cherry: a rich, vampy tint that feels like your lips after a glass of merlot. Mysterious, bold, and made for confident moods.
Both are designed to be kiss-proof, smudge-proof, and water-resistant, which means they’ll hold up through a long day, date night, or spontaneous karaoke.
The Application: Foolproof and Fabulous
The magic lies in the doe-foot applicator, which delivers just the right amount of product to blend onto lips or cheeks. Tap lightly for a subtle flush, or layer for more intensity. The beauty of Benetint is its ability to look like you, only fresher.
As always, it dries down to a weightless finish. No stickiness, no cracking, no weird colour shifts. Just that natural, second-skin stain that wears like your favourite lip balm—only prettier.
Meet Splash Tint: A Dewy, Juicy Pop for Lips and Cheeks
If Benetint is your flirty go-to for sheer colour, then Splash Tint is the bolder, glossier sister who lives for drama. This cushiony gel tint delivers a burst of juicy pigment with a hydrating, water-based texture that melts seamlessly onto lips and cheeks.
Designed for those who crave a high-shine flush without stickiness, Splash Tint gives that “Just-bitten” look with a dewy finish that stays fresh for hours. Whether you’re layering it for a vivid punch or dabbing it lightly for a barely-there glow, this tint is perfect for transitioning your makeup from day to night—effortlessly.
Benefit Malaysia Knows What We Want
While the international beauty scene continues its gloss renaissance and matte fatigue, Benefit Malaysia offers us the best of both worlds with these new tints—weightless colour that doesn’t disappear by lunch.
They’re made for humid weather, high heat, and hectic schedules. In short, they’re made for us.
You can shop the full Benetint family—including Rose, Mango, Lovetint, Playtint, and now Raspberry and Dark Cherry—online and in Benefit Cosmetics boutiques nationwide. Each tint retails at RM126 and comes in Benefit’s signature clear glass bottle, making it as pretty to display as it is to use.
Final Verdict: Buy Both
If you’re trying to choose between Raspberry and Dark Cherry—don’t. The truth is, they serve completely different vibes and occasions. One’s your effortless daytime crush, the other’s your sultry dinner date companion.
And frankly, your beauty shelf deserves both.
