Becca Beach Tint

This beautifully blendable, water-resistant, oil-free, watermelon-scented, creme stain for cheeks and lips suits all skin types and dries to a perfect, streak-free, non-greasy, non-drying finish. Can be layered under powdered blushes, bronzers, lip balms, and glosses for added intensity.


Apply a small amount and rub between fingertips to disburse the color intensity. I made the mistake of applying way to much of this tint and looked as if I had a bad wind burn. The old rule of thumb that a little bit goes a long way couldn't be more true when using this cheek tint. It is selling out in Sephora and every other store that carries it.

However, if you suffer from rosacea I don't recommend using this b/c it will only increase the flushed appearance in you skin. Becca also makes a creme blush called Rosebud that would serve as a nice alternative to this beach tint for those who deal with excessive redness on the cheeks. There was recently an article from In Style magazine listing beneficial foods for Rosacea: fish, cucumbers, and licorice.

Love this cheek tint. It provides that flushed appearance as if you've been out playing in the snow all afternoon. Great product. One criticism would be that my tube is defective. At the base of the dispenser it is cracked so when you squeeze the tube tint comes out of the crack and the top. Apparently a lot of people had this very same problem, but none of the stores can keep it in stock so I was not about to return it.
