Benefit Cosmetics Benetint Rose Tinted Lip & Cheek Stain
Nineteen seventies, made for one dancer, and still on the shelf. Everything sold as a lip and cheek stain since is descended from it, and none of them have displaced it, which is unusual for a product this simple and this old. The formula is the entire brand's origin story and it has never needed a relaunch.
