3. Benefit Benetint
Price: $20 at sephora.com
Not the cheapest product, but who doesn’t love Benefit products? The advice is to use this sparingly for the best results, so at least it will last longer that way. The colour won’t come out as strongly as it appears from the tin, so don’t be afraid of the strong red.
