To celebrate BECCA Cosmetic's recent partnership with Sephora, I have a review of BECCA Shimmering Skin Perfector SPF25+ in Moonstone to share with you today. The Shimmering Skin Perfectors are a fan favorite from the BECCA line of cosmetics. These liquid illuminators can be used in a number of ways: dabbed on the cheekbones and nose bridge as highlights, under foundation as a luminizing base, or mixed in with foundation for a brightening effect.
Moonstone is the newest color in the BECCA Shimmering Skin Perfector lineup. There are six colors total, four of which are carried at Sephora. The upright packaging has a matte plastic feel and has a nice metal logo detailing on cap top. The Shimmering Skin Perfectors contain 1.7 oz of product, which should last a very long time if you are only using it for highlighting purposes. I did notice that one full pump is way too much for simple highlighting on my cheekbones. The product has a thicker moisturizer like feel, as opposed to a runny consistency.
BECCA Shimmering Skin Perfector in Moonstone a light golden beige highlight color that looks natural against my light skintone. NARS Copacabana Multiple (reviewed here) is lighter and has more beige and pink tones. You can appreciate the intensity of color and sheen when compared to the pale powder highlight color of MAC Crew. MAC Whisper of Gilt Extra Dimension Skinfinish is very similar and perhaps only slightly more golden. Guerlain Terracotta Sun in the City (reviewed here) is more yellow-gold and less beige.
BECCA Shimmering Skin Perfector SPF25+ is a natural golden beige highlight that will complement a range of skin tones. Its versatility allows it to be used alone as a highlight or as a part of a foundation/base. Only a small amount is required; the key is knowing how much to pump out per use. Thanks for reading! Have you tried BECCA Shimmer Skin Perfectors? What are your favorite BECCA products? What is your favorite illuminator/highlighting product?
Love, Dovey.

ahhhhhhh drooling!!! i purchased this also but have yet to try it, and no reviews bc terrible weather so lousy photo settings but your post left me wanting to rip mine open!
ReplyDeleteHi J! YAY! I can't wait to see what you think. I hope the weather gets better on the east soon (for both swatching and safety reasons).
DeleteI've tried several products from Becca (their mineral blush is one of the best formulas I have encountered), and I love them all! I keep hearing about this one, but highlighting is not SO high on my priority list (compared with contouring) so I still haven't made up my mind and picked this up! I've heard only great things about it though, so maybe one day!
ReplyDeleteHi Sunny, the blush sounds wonderful! I like to earmark things for the future too, so I know what you're talking about :)
DeleteI love that they now have one with golden tones to it! It must look great on warmer complexions, no? It's great that it's not frosty or too shimmery, something that I encounter with a lot of highlighters.
ReplyDeleteHi Teri, I think so too! It's a nice everyday addition to the collection. Plus, it's not overly warm, which is nice to see.
DeleteThis is SO gorgeous--I've been meaning to get this one!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Becca! I'd love to hear your thoughts if you do!
DeleteMoonstone is on my wish list! I have only tried skin perfector, Pearl and Opal. Had Moonstone come out earlier, I would have just picked it instead of the other two. But oh well, I'm a highlighter sucker, so it's hard to tell. Fab review as usual!
ReplyDeleteHi Joanne, Pearl and Opal are so pretty too (and probably more my regular taste). Nothing wrong with loving a good highlighter :P
DeleteI think this is my favourite shade of all the highlighters that have ever been swatched! I love a nice, soft gold. Will have to try Becca one of these days. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Liz, I take that as a thumbs up? :P I thought I wouldn't be as into a gold, however this one isn't overly warm and has a natural sheen.
DeleteI really like this highlighter (I have pearl though), not as much as my Rouge Bunny Rouge one though. Highlighters can make such a difference, my HG and lifesafer for years. / Claire
ReplyDeleteHi Claire, that was spoken like a true highlighter aficionado! Pearl looks beautiful from swatches I've seen :)
Deleteyay! I got the becca kit from sephora and it has a half ounce shimmering skin perfector in it... i think in the shade opal. I'm SO excited to try it!
