After swooning over the Becca eyeshadow whilst keeping a tight grasp on my wallet, I decided to purchase a set that contained a mini Opal highlighter and cream highlight. The cream highlight was gifted to a friend and the pressed shimmering skin perfector has stayed firmly in my collection. I have a fair-medium skin tone depending on whether I have used fake tan. Out of all of Becca's shades, Opal seems to be the most universal. It is pigmented and noticeable, but not glittery, and can be blended out for a more subtle, lit-from-within glow. This particular shade is described as golden opal - I consider it a mixture between a champagne and rose gold. This product packs a punch in the pigmentation department, yet remains soft, buttery and finely milled. It is certainly the most luxurious of my highlighters. Because of its formula, it can be applied with a brush or even your finger.
The Becca highlighters come with a high price tag, however this is reflected in the quality of the product. Being a highlighter, a little goes a long way. The mini size is a great option if you are waving your Wayne Goss fan brush cautiously.
I was very VERY lucky to be part of a secret Santa group and my gorgeous secret Santa bought this highlighter in a set with a liquid highlighter. She very generous, I know!
This highlighter is a mini and comes in a brown plastic compact and even has a small mirror inside the lid. I have this in the shade "opal" and it's a perfect match for my medium skin tone.
I just very gently tap my brush in the product rather than swirling it around, yes honestly you don't need much. It's also super easy to blend out with a big fluffy brush if you need too.
I apply this along my cheek bones, just under the brow bones and sometimes on the Cupid's bow. The texture is so buttery and creamy and the pigmentation is amazing. I thought the hourglass ambient lighting wardrobe was amazing. This is even better!
I'm always scared of highlighters making my fine lines stand out even more but this one doesn't accentuate any flaws, it gives you a gorgeous glow without being all disco ball on your face glow. it really is amazing. You only need a tiny bit of this highlighter as it goes a really long way. It lasts all day and doesn't fade.
This has to be easily my most loved highlighter EVER And there are not many days I don't use it. I can see myself finishing this product and I will definitely repurchase it.
