Emma Louise Connolly might err on the less-is-more side when it comes to make-up - watch her go-to daily skincare and make-up routine right here - but the model and @thegreedymodel founder is never averse to shouting about her favourite products. Her Instagram Stories posted this weekend were a case in point. In them Emma spotlighted her favourite lip and cheek stain that she remarked, 'lasts forever.' Apparently her Instagram followers - who currently total 453,000 and counting - were keen to find out about the product behind Emma's rosy cheeks and blushed lip colour in her recent Instagram grid posts and, true to form, Emma happily obliged by revealing all.
Emma Louise Connolly's Favourite Lip And Cheek Stain Revealed
Emma's favourite lip and cheek stain is none other than Benefits Benetint, £25.50, a sheer, rose-scented stain that has been going for an impressive 45 years. Benefit launched their first iteration of Benetint back in 1976. Side note - it was originally made by Benefit's founders Jean and Jane Ford, for exotic dancers in San Francisco's Mission District, to make their nipples stand out. Beat that origins story.

Description
'I use Benetint on my lips and cheeks,' said Emma Louise Connolly on her Instagram Stories, 'I find it's the most natural pinky flush and I've just always stuck to it.' Emma also made reference to the product's staying power, 'it lasts forever.'
Today's Benetint is marketed as a lip and cheek stain only. 'I use Benetint on my lips and cheeks,' said Emma on her Instagram Stories, 'I find it's the most natural pinky flush and I've just always stuck to it.' Emma also made reference to the product's staying power, 'it lasts forever,' she says. Avid fans of Benefit's hero buy will know that Emma is absolutely right. Apply to your lips and cheeks with your fingertips, dabbing on sparingly until you achieve the look that you're after, then wash your hands immediately otherwise you'll be stuck with pink fingertips for the rest of the day. The stained blush effect lasts for hours. You use so little each time you apply that a single Benetint bottle will last you well over a year too. There's a lot going for this cult classic.
