The BECCA brand has taken over the makeup community, whether its her shimmering skin perfector liquids, or the pressed powders; these products have been all over the Beauty guru channels. I was skeptical about purchasing her products only because they are so expensive. But in my latest trip to Ulta, I finally decided to splurge. & I'm so happy I did! After watching NikkieTutorials use this in almost every single one of her videos, I decided to pick up the Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed in the shade Moonstone. Let me tell you I understand why its her obsession! This highlighter creates the most amazing glow on the cheekbone! It's the definition of a "Sunkissed Glow!"
So let's talk packaging! Its actually a large size compact, but still super easy to throw in any makeup bag or purse! I love the fact that the center is a silver metal with the brand engraved. I was a little thrown off by the brown color, but all her products are in this brown rubberized packaging and I think its definitely makes her brand stand out among the rest with classic black! I feel like all High-end brands use this plastic black packaging, and BECCA really makes her line standout with the different feel and brown color! Definitely heavy duty as well! (prevents the product from cracking if its dropped!)
BECCA has a few different shades with her liquid and powder highlighters. I know of another shade called Opal which is more of a pinky undertone, while this Moonstone shade definitely has a gold undertone with a bunch of gold flakes in it! It isn't chalky and doesn't have chunky glitters that just fall all over the face when applied. It's super soft and so easy to blend. But, the best part is when you blend it on to the cheekbone, it doesn't just blend away its that pigmented! You guys know one of my pet peeves is soft silky products that blend away into nothing. But this doesn't do that whatsoever! I'm absolutely in love with this product!
I haven't ever featured any brushes on blog only because I feel like any products can be used with any type of brush or even your finger; it's all about preference! I don't want to tell anyone that you should use this type of brush for this kind of product. But when I purchased this highlighter, Ulta had just released a brush line with It Cosmetics and its absolutely phenomenal with this product! This is the It Brush for Ulta No. 103 Airbrush Blurring Concealer Brush. I know the name says concealer, but like I said you can use different types of brushes for anything! So I tried this out with the highlighter and fell in love! Sometimes I find that applying highlighters with my fingers can make it look like a huge streak of shimmer on my cheek, but this brush just blends the product in to the skin effortlessly with no sharp edges! But don't think you absolutely NEED this brush with this product, it works just as well with any brush or your finger!
So, it's safe to say I'm in love with this product! But let's talk prices. This highlighter is a whopping $38.00. I know what you're thinking..38 bucks for a highlighter, are you kidding?! But this product can also be used as an eyeshadow all over the lid, highlighting the brow bone, and definitely the inner corner! It's such a versatile product that is so soft and pigmented, it's definitely a staple piece in my collection now! I loved it so much, I went to sephora and bought the Shimmering Skin Perfector (Liquid) in Moonstone as well! (insert monkey emoji with his hands over his eyes here!)
