BECCA Beach Tint in Papaya review + swatches


          BECCA Beach Tints are fruit-inspired two-in-one cheek stains for both lips and cheeks. They're fan favorites from the BECCA cosmetics line that has recently become available at Sephora online and in select stores. Three bright new colors were recently added to the BECCA Beach Tint lineup: Dragonfruit (Poppy Pink), Papaya (Hot Red), and Lychee (Hot Pink). I have BECCA Beach Tint in Papaya to share with you today!


           BECCA Beach Tint in Papaya is an intense orange, much like the sweet flesh of papaya fruit. BECCA Papaya has a watery gel consistency. The color from the tube is very concentrated and only a small amount is necessary. When layered like below, it's much more concentrated than anything I own. Compared to the juice orange of MAC Optimistic Cremeblend blush, BECCA Papaya looks hotter and a slightly redder. NARS Liberte blush (reviewed here) is more burnished orange. Tarte Frisky is a red toned blush; you can see that BECCA Papaya is more orange than red. BECCA beach tint is best blended on with fingers for a sheerer effect. The idea of a water-resistant stain is taken quite seriously; I had a tough time removing the color off my arm after swatching.



          BECCA Beach Tint in Papaya is an awakening orange that is sure to add brightness to any look. It looks intense when full power, but blends out to be a pretty orange tint. Thanks for reading! Have you tried BECCA Beach Tints? Are there any on your wishlist? What are your favorite gel or cream blushes?

Love, Dovey.

  3. I love becca beach tints! fig is the only one I don't like (looked muddy on me). I am so glad they released some new colours, they look kinda natural even if the colour looks scary (not blended). love <3 / Claire

    1. Hi Claire, I can imagine that the bright colors would look beautiful on you. I think you're right about the natural look. I do think they blend out easily.

  4. I have to grab one of these some day! I think I always get a little intimidated by how full-on they look when swatched, but apparently everyone says they're easy to blend! Thanks for sharing Dovey :)

    1. Hi Sunny, I hope you get to try one! I was worried too when I first squeezed this hot orange out, however it was easy to blend out.

  6. i realized that i do not own any orange lipsticks that goes with my reddish orange sweaters for fall.
    this one might be a good candidate, since it is a double duty stuff

    1. Hi Mallard Duck, I think so! I don't have much orange in my collection, so it's helpful to have something that's double duty, as you mentioned!

  7. I would have been all over Papaya in the summer! Have been admiring Becca products from afar for a long time now. Hopefully they'll make it into the Canadian Sephoras soon!

    1. Hi Liz, Me too, I've been hoping to try them for some time now. I did think Papaya seemed like a summer color, however I think the orange will work well as an autumnal tone too, if it's blended out

  10. Papaya looks so juicy! I have my eye on Lychee and Dragonfruit, and despite my trying to sit on my hot little makeup hands, I think I need to get both.
