Benefit benetint application question?

Hey ladies,

I have three sample size bottles of benetint and so far I've only used them as a lip stain because I can't figure out how to apply it on my cheeks? When I use it before my foundation it gets completely covered and when I put it on top it builds up and looks like a cakey mess. Any tips?

How much do you use when you put it on top of the foundation?
I dab some onto my hand and then use a flat foundation brush.
You can use a small stippling brush (elf had one for $3)
Or you can lightly make small lines and slowly build it on your cheeks. Less is more and you can always add on.
You can add a powder blush over it to help with the staying power/longevity of your blush too.

I haven't tried applying with a brush! Maybe that's the problem. I was using about 3 smaller than pea size dots and using my fingers to blend and pat. Thank you Cat :)

No problem, Annabelle :)

You could also use a beauty blender or any type of sponge and just pat it on your cheek. That's what I do.

I use it after my foundation. I do three-five dots along my cheeks and blend it with a sponge before it sets.
