The Multiple is AMAZING. I swear by the South Beach and Orgasm shades, and they work great on the eyes as well as bronzer and cream blush.

I like the Multiple because it’s multi-use. I can get my makeup bag in my purse down to like four items by using the Multiple.

I love cream blushers, they blend so well and you get that dewy look powders just can’t achieve. I use lipsticks mostly in this area, though. They do exactly the same thing and they have staying power.

I bought MAC Just a Pinch gel blush from their latest “A Rose Romance” collection just yesterday and i totally loved it! The result is bit like Benetint but since my last benetint spilled all over my purse and ruined it, im not buying that product anymore! ok, it was my fault maybe but this MAC stuff is as cool as that and plus, in a way better package:)

I bought “Orgasm” back in the fall… and I love IT! Great for a blush base and a highlighter. Lips, eyes, cheeks, chest… good for anywhere. I am obsessed!

NARS’ Multiple + MAC’s #187 brush = flawless application. Swipe the tube a couple times with the brush and swirl onto the apples of your cheeks. You’ll never go back, I swear it.

I too am a huge fan of benetint, and all benefit products for that matter, however smashbox has a cream blush stick and it is absolutely amazing. The color is perfect, it last all day and it blends really well. I bought a stick a year ago and i still have the same one, now i am running out and i cant get it at sephora, but they have it on the smashbox website. ITS SERIOUSLY AMAZING!

I found that tarte and nars blush sticks made my pores look HUGE. It also made me slightly break out after wearing it a few times. I don’t break out and I have super small pores with normal blush.

benetint! when you put it on your lips it looks like you’ve been sucking on a cherry red popsicle. summer perfection.

I do like the stains like Benetint, but you have to be super-attentive with them because they dry so quickly. I’m a little ADD in the a.m. and the last time I used it I got distracted in the middle of applying it (my dog’s a little attention needy) and ended up with two bright red dots on my cheeks. I had to scrub off all my makeup and start over.
But it definitely stays in place. If you’re super oily or sweaty and can’t keep color on your cheeks, a stain is the way to go.

stila convertible color has been my favorite blush for the past 3 years–it lasts all day!

Guest 8, I was just about to recommend Benetint too! It goes on a little easier than a cream, doesn’t look powdery and heavy like a pressed blusher .. It’s just perfect. Plus you can control if you have a deeper stain or something really light and fresh. Wonderful! :)

I use Laura Mercier cream stick blush and I love it. It blends really well and makes cheekbones look higher. Tarte is good too and gives a similar effect, but I feel like it’s harder to blend/apply because it’s more of a gel consistency.
