Major fan of all things Benefit Cosmetics here! At the risk of sounding very basic, I will admit that I've loved their iconic Benetint for a long, long while. And why not? It's long-lasting, natural-looking, and versatile. Which is everything you need from a make-up product. Plus, with the festive season coming up we feel it's an essential. But hey! We can't forget that it's also priced pretty damn steep for a tint, and having choices never hurt either. So if you love all things tint, check out these awesome options too.
