BECCA Becca x Jaclyn Hill Shimmering Skin Perfector® Pressed Champagne Pop Review

If you want a highlighter that's a beautiful colour, stays on for ages and makes you look gorgeous buy this one. This was a gift for me and I absolutely love it. I use this for events and special occasions and at the end of the night I can still see it popping! Use a little as it is very pigmented. Worth it!

I’m soooo sad this has been discontinued because this is actually my favourite highlighter EVER. I use it every day, without fail, and it’s lasted me years (probably not meant to still be using it, but it’s just so good). Hoping to find a dupe to use!

This shade was originally limited edition however it was a huge hit with the beauty lovers that since January this year it's officially part of Becca's permanent range. Its not a shade I haven't seen before but the results it gives when using the right application can really set you apart (as with anything that's done right by your skin tone / skin type).

It's packaged in Becca's signature sturdy compact with rubber edges, a metal lid with BECCA embossed on it and a good quality mirror. In the pan it comes off as a gentle peachy semi rose gold with very fine reflective shimmer. When I compare the pan to other highlighters I own I couldn't find a colour remotely close however it's not until I swatch it that I can identify that I do have existing dupes .

The powder is velvety smooth to swatch and the colour is true to pan. It blends out beautifully with very little fall out and the shimmer is just enough to give you that extra lift if the gorgeous sheen itself is just not doing it for you. What I love most about this highlighter is the luminosity and the colour pay off. Every angle you look at it there is luminosity and a gentle wash of colour (dependent on blending) and it looks beautiful.

On my skin tone I do have to be careful because building up the highlight (as I love to do) can make it look really unnatural. It's a highlight I can easily sheer out however the colour pigmentation is no joke so I have to go in with a light hand. I can get a good 6 hours of wear before the highlight begins to break away and fade.

One issue I have with this is that if my skin isn't looking too flash it tends to emphasise the texture of my skin and it's really not the kind of thing I want to put on blast to the world. It's not hard to manage, I just change the method of application. Instead of using a flat top kabuki or a tapered fluffy brush I go in with a fan brush and lightly skim the skin or I use a finishing spray or setting spray to soften the appearance of the highlight.

It's definitely one of my most pricey highlighters I own but out of Becca's range this would be one of their highlighters I would recommend purchasing. I feel that we're paying for a quality product that could work for a lot of people however if you want something more budget friendly with very similar results then possibly try Make Up Forever Pro Sculpting Duo Shade 2 or Physicians Formula Shimmer Strips Vegas Strip (mix last 2 strips together).

I have this highlighter in the special Jaclyn Hill face palette. I'd been wanting to get this highlighter for such a long time so when I saw this palette on Sephora NZ, I knew it was my time to shine. Literally.

I don't own a Becca highlighter in the spaceship type packaging. From what I've seen online though,it looks great. I do love the packaging that I have though, with white and gold detail, 2 highlighters, 3 blushes and a great big mirror.

This highlight is the perfect peachy gold. I have quite light skin so an intense gold doesn't work as a highlight for me so I love that I can get some gold but it doesn't look crazy. I think most skin tones except maybe very dark, could use this as a highlight too.

This is not a subtle glow at all. Even using it lightly will have you shining bright. You can also pack it on to make it even more intense. I love that it's shimmery without being glittery. It's also a very nice buttery feeling powder, it really does almost feel like a cream. You could use your fingers to apply if you like but brushes really pick up a great amount and blend it well. I also like to use this as a inner corner highlight for my eyes.

I really love this, I've been using pretty much only this for the last two months and I'm no where near sick of it. I'd definitely recommend if you feel like splashing out nice Becca isn't the cheapest out There!
