Stain Power: Benetint Gets THE Update with Dark Cherry and Raspberry

If you’ve ever sworn allegiance to the original Benetint, brace yourself—Benefit Cosmetics just gave its iconic liquid stain a juicy twist. Starting May 7, the brand expands its cult-favourite lineup with two fresh shades: Dark Cherry and Raspberry. Same airy, long-wearing formula you already trust with your face—just with a little more bite.

The Benetint Liquid Lip + Cheek Blush Stains are still that unbeatable multitasker you swipe on in the back of a Grab or between meetings. The magic lies in its weightless, water-like texture that refuses to budge. Non-drying, smudge-proof, transfer-resistant—this is the kind of formula that doesn’t flinch when the heat hits or life happens.

Dark Cherry brings mood. It’s deeper, sultrier—a gothic kiss of color for lips and cheeks that want to brood a little. Raspberry, on the other hand, is flirty and bright, all tangy vibrance with a summery wink. They’re both a refreshing answer to the “one-shade-fits-all” approach. Benefit clearly understands that minimal doesn’t mean monotonous.

The design is still all about ease: the doe-foot applicator keeps things precise, while the buildable pigment lets you decide how bold or soft you want to go. Layer it up. Mix them together. Throw them under gloss or lipstick to add some dimension. Or try the ombré trick—blend from the center of your lips outward for a pout that feels like effort without the actual effort.

And yes, it’s still formulated without the usual suspects—no formaldehydes, no phthalates, no mineral oil, no sulfates. Just pigment and performance in a bottle that dries down fast, never sticky, and never heavy. Especially perfect now that sweat-proof everything is non-negotiable.

Now live on Benefit Cosmetics store at The Exchange TRX and Sephora for RM136.00 each, these new tints prove Benetint isn’t just sticking around—it’s evolving. More depth, more fun, same zero-fuss energy.
