Essence What A Tint! Lip & Cheek Tint 19 ingredients
✔️ good price
✔️ non-comedogenic
❌ not fungal acne-safe
❌ was difficult to apply on my cheeks. Made me look like a clown 🤡 Maybe it's okay for the lips, but I wouldn't recommend it..
Ere Perez Beetroot Cheek & Lip Tint 12 ingredients
I use this exclusively as a lip tint. I am normally too sensitive to lip stains and their ingredients, and they make me feel sick. Not Ere Perez! The color stays great, doesn't bleed, and is beautifully vibrant. I have fair, cool toned skin and always get compliments whenever I wear either shade of this stain. It's my favorite lip product of all time.
