The founders of Benefit, Jean and Jane Ford, created their very first product, Benetint Lip & Cheek Stain, as a nipple tint for exotic dancers in 1976 in their small shop in San Francisco.
Now iconic actresses like Winona Ryder and Nicole Kidman cite the liquid as a mainstay in their makeup bags to give them a beautiful cheek flush or a just-bitten lip stain!
This stuff is hyper nostalgic for me. It was the first cosmetic my late mom approved for me to wear (got my grubby hands on it when I was 10 or so) and it always felt so special when I’d use it. It was always just enough and had a better taste than lipstick. Just a little rose-y 🙂
