What the gurus are saying

Gurus consistently praise the formula's staying power and staining ability, plus the cute packaging, but emphasize a steep learning curve and specific use cases. The core divide: it looks terrible on bare skin with texture or blemishes but looks great layered over foundation. Application demands precision and works better on oilier skin; dry patches cause patchiness. Most agree it's a fun novelty rather than a must-have, and not worth buying if you already have a blush or stain you like.

"I like them. They're nice. However, there's some things we need to talk about about these tints. Certain circumstances, of course, there's things I would change. I would say, if you want to buy them, I don't think it's a waste of money. If you like makeup, these are quite exciting as a product. They look cute, they work, but yes, there are some things I want to address. There are things that don't work in some cases."

I love packaging. These are a dream come true just because they look weird."

"They don't smell overly fragrant to me. If anything, they smell slightly antibacterial. For the price, this kind of does look disappointing. However, for this individual product only, as a tint, you have to use so little and it stains so quickly. I don't think anyone is going to get through this whole thing anyway. It says 1000 plus applications per stick. Before I use this a thousand times, it's probably going to expire even this small amount. It is kind of a shock to wind it up and see this. It's also so messy. These do stain. The color has really set into those areas. With the prep for your lips, I would still use something underneath. I don't think I'm going to use it on my lips in the future."

"It just sets so, so fast with a finger. The way it's advertised to go on the skin, I just think it looks like a rash, on me anyway. If you have quite a few blemishes or marks from shaving, or blemishes like that, and you don't want them to be extra obvious, I wouldn't use this on bare skin. I'm not a fan of it on bare skin. In fact, I think it looks terrible on my bare skin. But I love it on top of foundation. In terms of removal, it does come off quite easily with an oil based makeup remover. Oil really does break it down. I would recommend it to anyone over foundation, on top of your foundation. If you're already happy with your blush or a tint that you have, I wouldn't rush out to buy it. It's not anything extra special. It's just something new."

It's just exciting, just something new. It's gimmicky you could say, yes, I like gimmicky. I quite like it because it's gimmicky. I like the packaging."

"I think it's a really, really nice product. I think it's really fun. With drier skins, if you have any kind of dry texture in the area you want to apply the blush tint, it will cling to dry areas. It will show up patchy. So maybe consider what your skin is like on that day. With oilier skins, it'll be quite nice. I think it will last a lot longer. It stains quite well. It looks good. It applies well in certain ways. Some people who consider themselves maybe not good at makeup might have a little bit of a learning curve with it, which is fine. However, I do think it's important to share that I'm not going to apply it and think, oh, no, that looks terrible, take it off and then apply it and be like, oh, my God, it looks great on first application. If you like the way it looks, buy it because you also have a good product with it."

"Once you get the learning curve down it's worth it for the super long lasting cheek and lip look. I find that this looks really natural on my skin tone and the warm tone looks really fresh on my complexion. I will reach for it again and I am excited about them. It's one of the easiest and most fun cheek and lip stains I've ever tried. If you're into this kind of a look and you want to commit to one color for several hours throughout the day, it's a fun product to try."

I Tested MILK's New Jelly Tints.. Why All the Hype?
"I'm going to give it a yellow because I think it's really fun, it's cute, it's fun to try if you're interested in it, but it's definitely going to give a very specific look. It's a very high quality lip and cheek stain that I think you're going to have a lot of fun with and it's going to be easy to apply. If that's your vibe and you do choose to buy it, I think you won't be disappointed, but I do think it's not going to be for absolutely everybody. I came in as a little bit of a skeptic and I left as a fan of this formula and actually a fan of this color."
