TheBalm's Stainiac tint for lips and cheeks in "Beauty Queen" ($17 USD) is probably my most-worn lip product (beside my lip balm) of all time. The idea of this product is similar to the famous Benetint from Benefit, a versatile cheek and lip color. The only difference between this and Benetint is also what makes this product a gazillion times more amazing than Benetint- it has a gel-like consistency instead of a messy liquid formula and has a doe-foot applicator instead of flimsy brush.
Because it has a gel consistency, it goes on super evenly and smoothly. It is buildable, so you can go for either a natural flush or a more intense look. I only use this on my lips not because it isn't good on the cheeks, I just personally prefer powdered blush.
