Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector - Holy Grail Product?



Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector Travel size in Topaz- £10

Yes, you read correctly, this is easily the best highlighing product I've ever tried - and I've tried a lot! I have heard many established bloggers rave about Becca highlighting products, particularly in the shade Pearl, but I couldn't find any online swatches for Topaz on darker skintones. I took a gamble and ordered the travel size, which for some reason is only available through Zuneta in this shade.





It is the most gorgeous golden shade - subtle yet illuminating. I dot it on the tops of my cheekbones and browbone, creating a C shape around the eye for a more natural highlight. But the Shimmering Skin Pefector has many uses as you could apply it on its own as a base, or mix it with your foundation. It boasts many skin benefits such as spf 20 and is packed with lots of antioxidants, making it suitable as a tinted moisturizer. But if you wanted to get the full size, it has a hefty price tag at £33 for 50ml. The travel size only has 15ml of product and I would probably repurchase the bigger bottle, but frankly how much highlighter does a person need?

Edit: I have since made a comparison to Benefit's Highbeam with better swatches - link here

What are your favourite highlighters? Any recommendations?
