Warning! 'The White Lotus' season three finale spoilers ahead!

Let's take a moment of silence for our fallen zodiac-loving, voice of reason Chelsea from The White Lotus season three. While we all were enamored by her devotion and love for her angry, vengeful boyfriend, it was only a matter of time before her "I can fix him," tendencies landed her in hot water. That being said, despite succumbing to her hope/pain, yin/yang fate, Chelsea (aka Aimee Lou Wood) looked absolutely angelic in the season finale (perhaps a little too angelic, le sigh). And much of that is to do with her gorgeous flushed cheeks—a result of none other than the Saie Dew Blush ($25) in the shade Poppy.

The White Lotus makeup designer, Rebecca “Bex” Hickey shared that Saie has played a huge role in all three seasons of the series, explaining that “Their products are clean, easy to use and perfectly align with my philosophy of 'Less is More.' The Dew Blush and the Sun Melt ($32) can be swept over the eyelid to give a little color, while the Slip Tint moisturizer ($36) can be reapplied all day to protect your skin from the harmful UV Rays.” (The latter of which is a must for all vacationers, naturally.)

In deciding what Chelsea's character would don on her final days, Hickey says, “This blush in the color Poppy was an obvious choice for Chelsea’s finale look. It’s sheer enough to be a natural tint but can be buildable for a more dramatic look. Its hydrating formula gives the perfect amount of glow to the cheeks for that dewy vacation look.”

The bright coral blush is fitting for a ray of sunshine like Chelsea who always sees the good in others and has an inviting, bubbly and warm personality. This flush, while intentional or not, also seems to mimic Rick's sunburnt face as the series goes on, solidifying their fate to end as one, together forever, even in death.

Saie's Dew blush is full of good-for-you ingredients like elderberry (a berry with potent antioxidant properties), licorice root (a natural brightening agent), white mulberry root (a plant extract with antioxidant and calming properties), comfrey leaf (a plant extract with skin-regenerating properties) and evening primrose root (which is soothing and anti-inflammatory).

The Dew blush is brightening and hydrating with a natural finish. It comes in a 0.40-ounce tube with a chunky doe-foot applicator. The lightweight and blendable liquid cream formula melts into the skin for a seamless, glowing-from-within wash of color, though you can strengthen the hue by swiping on a few more layers. It's safe for sensitive skin, fragrance-free, cruelty-free, vegan and formulated without gluten, per the brand. Plus, comes in eight shades ranging from pinks and corals to berries and browns. While you may not want to follow in Chelsea's fateful footsteps, you can embrace her heavenly glow with this product in your arsenal.
