What the gurus are saying

Madison Miller loves the second-skin look and staying power. Lauren Mae Beauty fiercely disagrees, calling it the most horrific blush of the year and impossible to control on the cheeks.

"I wanted this more for my cheeks for that longevity with that stain because some liquid and cream blushes and even powder blushes they wear off throughout the day. I did pick it up in the shade Chill but this is just very blotchy on the skin. I've tried applying this many different ways with a brush with my finger with a beauty blender, applying it directly onto my cheek and blending it in or using a brush to grab from the product itself then apply it to my skin and every method of application was the same very blotchy and it moves the foundation underneath. I really didn't like that so unfortunately for me it was a fail. I couldn't make this work but I do like the concept idea and how it does have that longevity with the stain but if it's going to look blotchy and unnatural on the cheeks then what's the point so this was a fail."

"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... there are some things that don't work in some cases."

In Depth Honest Review | Milk Cooling Water Jelly Tint
"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 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, but before you use this a thousand times, it's probably going to expire. The price may be an issue. 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. It may not have that grip and stain."

"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 comes off quite easily with an oil-based makeup remover, though it did splurt out a little when I opened it and stained my furniture. I would recommend it to anyone over foundation, on top of your foundation. If it's a liquid foundation, I think it looks great. But if you're already happy with your blush or tint, I wouldn't rush out to buy it. It's not anything extra special. It's just exciting. It's just something new."

"I think it's a really, really nice product. I think it's really fun. If you have any kind of dry texture in the area you want to apply the blush tint, it will cling to dry areas and show up patchy. So maybe consider what your skin is like on that day. For oilier skins, it'll be quite nice and should last a lot longer. It stains quite well. 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. 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. It's a nice product. If you don't need a new blush or stain or tint right now, don't rush out to buy it. 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. The more warm tone looks really fresh on my personal complexion. It's one of the easiest and most fun cheek and lip stains I've ever tried. If you want to commit to one color for several hours throughout the day it's a fun product to try for sure."

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 so you kind of have to ask yourself like is this my vibe, do I like no makeup makeup looks, do I want the cheeks stain kind of an effect. If that's not your vibe, you're obviously not going to really enjoy this, but if it is, it's definitely a very high quality lip and cheek stain that I think you're going to have a lot of fun with. It's going to be easy to apply, so if you do choose to buy it and this is your vibe, I think you won't be disappointed. 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 specifically."
