I've seen some orange puffs before but this is by far the worst I've seen it good lord. This is more orange than my beam.

I would send them a message, it looks exactly like Beam. What does it look like on natural daylight?

for blushes that dry down, you may need to blend quickly before it sets - it may help to do one side of your face at a time. you can also use cream blush as eyeshadow or lipstick. on the liquid side, there are very watery textures (eg. apieu juicy water pang blushes), gel-cream liquids (eg. glossier cloud paints), cushion blushes (eg. laneige cushion blusher, memebox/kaja heart stamp blush)--- and there are probably many more types, with even more being innovated as time goes on.

I have been loving liquid / cream blushes for a while, mostly the glossier cloud paints and the 3ce take a layer multipots (mostly for how amazing they look!)

They reformulated at some point and never updated the website picture. I encourage you to complain and ask for your money back

The Glossier sounds like exactly what you're looking for! Cloud Paint is buildable, easy to use, and has a natural finish.

Email! They may replace it. And provide the batch number too. Mine isn’t the coolest of pinks but it isn’t that bad.
