Best Lip Tints For Nailing The Clean Girl-Coded Blotted Pout Look

The OG lip tint that may or may not have started the whole lip tint conversation, Benefit's Benetint rose-tinted cheek and lip stain is a tried-and-tested lip tint loved by all. It gives you the nicest rosy flush and builds up beautifully. It is also kiss-proof since it kinda dries down matte but is not drying for the skin. Honestly, every single praise you have heard about this lip tint is true.

LBB Tip: We tested the viral Benetint against the Etude House Dear Darling Tint and here's the verdict.

This one may or may not be the dupe of the Benetint. It's water-based and extremely lightweight, and comes in five different shades to choose from. Similar to the Benetint, it gives a flush of colour to the cheeks but isn't as long-lasting as the Bentint so do make a note of that, but all in all, a great budget pick for an everyday lip tint.

These Korean lip tints come with a little more of a creamier formula. With their clear, syrupy finish and rich juicy colours, dry skin folks are gonna love this one. These create a candy-like gloss coating that intensifies over time for a plump look. They have over nineteen shades to choose from so whether you want to sport a nude blotted lip or a burgundy one, this one will definitely sail your boat.

These lightweight lip tints feature a fluid texture that applies seamlessly in one stroke. The result? A slick wash of colour that’s high on shine and is longwearing, ultimately settling into a super pigmented lip stain. We wouldn't recommend using this one on the cheeks since it has a slip to it. What we like about the Kay Beauty lip tint the most is that it is hydrating and comfortable for long hours.

Another hydrating lip tint that creates a natural flush that lasts all day, this water-based gel tint from The Face Shop can be used to create a light gradient effect from the inside of the lips (aka Korean lips) or deliver opaque colour along the lines to create a faux lip line. It works well on the cheeks as well for giving that watercoloured effect.

A newer addition to the lip tint game. The Huda Beauty Creamy Lip And Cheek Stain is a hydrating, creamy lip and cheek tint that can be built from subtle to vibrant in just a few strokes. Don't expect it to be super long-lasting since it features a creamier formula. Oily skin folks can ditch this one for a water-based lip tint since those last for longer on the skin.

Last year, the Fenty Beauty Poutsicle Hydrating Lip Stain is the shade 'Berry Banger' was one of the most talked about lip products in the beauty world. Available in a range of vibrant and bleed-resistant shades, this lip tint formula quenches lips both instantly and all day. Thanks to its formula featuring an oil-in-water innovation with squalene that leaves the lips feeling hydrated to the T.

Apart from the cute packaging and key chain, we love the formula of this Korean lip tint that is highly-pigmented and long-lasting. It delivers a non-patchy application and stains your lips with vivid, non-smudging colors. The doe-foot applicator is quite chunky so you won't have to go in with multiple coats.

It is available in a range of colours, however, the 03 in red remains the most classic.
