Tints have been increasing their presence in the cosmetics industry recently, whether it be for the cheeks, lips, or for both the 'just bitten' look is popping up all around the globe. This type of lip or cheek product is an excellent choice for hot summer days. Tint is a cosmetic product applied to the lips or cheek to give them color, often without much gloss or shine included. Generally, the tint is applied to bare skin, and the color will slightly stain the skin leaving it natural look.
WELL! Its now my 2nd post regarding cosmetics , this obviously shows how much I m a fond of make-up .**P.S I love no-makeup makeup look**.
2 True Cosmetics, recently released their 2 in 1 Cheek and Lip Tint available in two shades - 'Rose' and 'Blush Pink'.
The bottles comes in a standard 10ml size a small jar which has a similar style to the Nail Polishes which I really love as its great for easy storage . The packaging is very lightweight so a best product for travelers . you have to Twist of the lid to reveal a small brush applicator, the brush is very small and skinny .The brush also resembles a nail polish brush, however I do find it is a bit thin sized but It's great for retaining the product so you don't end up sweeping too much onto the cheek and wasting it... It deposits product well on the lips but I prefer to apply the tint to my cheeks with a finger rather than the brush in the pot.
The product lasts a generous six months to a year depending on the use, as it is applied in a small amount (less than a pea size amount).
The formulation of shade ”blush pink” is quite thick and paste-like, and blends extremely well .
It's thicker than other lip and cheek tints and stains i've tried, seeming more like a runny cream, but it works in much the same way. While the colour might look a bit scary in the swatch if you only use a tiny dot it applies as a sheer, clean wash of pink but it's buildable so if you're like me and want fluorescent cheeks you can achieve it on your skin.
Be sure to blend quick as the tint begins to stain the skin immediately on application.
In the bottle the shade looks quite literally fluorescent pink of shade blush pink , it is quite daunting at first but I'd say stick with it because once you use a small amount and blend it out it transforms into a gorgeous poppy pink shade with a matte, smooth and Sheeree finish (it doesn’t leave your skin oily even after 6 hours). You can build the colour if you want more of a 'pop' but I find one application on either the lips or cheeks is more than enough even on my fair skin.

The formulation of shade” rose “ is pretty runny type of consistency .Shade “rose” claims to be rose tinted, and with that it is also rose scented – it does have a gorgeous floral scent that makes it a lot more inviting. I will admit it does taste slightly perfumed, but as there is such a small applicator brush and as the colour is so strong there isn't a lot of need for colour so the perfume isn't overpowering.
To apply, you need to draw three 'cats whiskers' on the apples of your cheeks one at a time, and blend quickly (It is a stain, and you wouldn't want it to stay that way! the only thing is you have to make sure you blend it out quickly as it will dry and look streaky.). Then apply more product onto your lips and either blend with the brush or with your finger. This should achieve a rosy glow to your cheeks and lips, and about as natural as you can get without going completely make-up free!
it's quite a nice natural flush of colour, more of a dark pink than a red as it appears in the bottle.
I did find that it did dry my lips slightly so I had to put extra moisturizing balm over the top some times on lips, but I found the colour to be longlasted on both my cheeks and lips (It was put the test by me frequently drinking, eating and licking my lips!)
The Cheek n Lip Tint wears for around 3-6 hours on the lips and cheeks before it begins to fade, I am also pleased to report the formula is transfer resistant and didn't stain anything pink whilst I was wearing it on my face or lips (do be careful with the product itself though and wash your hands after use).
How to apply to cheeks
Dot on cheeks and then use finger tips or blush on brush to blend (I would prefer finger)
How to apply to lips
Dot on lips and blend with finger tips
