Listen, I try highlighters like it’s a part time job. I can’t help it…lol. The latest BECCA Shimmering Skin Perfector Poured though? O-M-G.

It comes in five shades (Pearl, Moonstone, Opal, Rose Gold, and Topaz) similar to the other variations of the Shimmering Skin Perfector. BECCA sent over shade Topaz which is described as a golden bronze pearl.
I was expecting the texture on this to be super creamy (therefore maybe not the best for my oily skin in the summer) but it goes on like a cream but has a powdery finish which is PERFECT because it helps it to adhere to the skin better and lasts longer. Topaz is gorgeously luminous and very pigmented but thankfully not in a glittery way. It looked beautiful the second I put it on and as the day wore (and my oil started to show up on my face like heyyyy) it continued to give me a pretty glow that lasted all day. By the end of the day I had a candlelit glow—so it just kept getting better and better. I need to see the other shades!

It’s at the top of my cheekbones—underneath is one of the NYX High Definition blushers I just reviewed.
See how this compares to the Shimmering Skin Perfector Illuminator and Skimmering Skin Perfector Pressed here.
Bottom line: BECCA Shimmering Skin Perfector Poured is something you should definitely try especially if you’re a highlighter fiend like me. Even if it’s just to see how it looks on your cheeks next time your browsing a Sephora store.
Price and where to buy: $38 at Sephora (plus right now 8% cash back when you use eBates—it’s typically 4%). See beccacosmetics.com for additional places to buy online and in-store.
Oooooh, I love!!! I have the pressed versions (Opal, Topaz, Rose Gold and Blushed Copper), but I was wondering if I should bother with the poured. That looks amazing!

It’s SO cool!
In the past month, I’ve picked up like 3 highlighters and this will more than likely be the 5th after I grab the new WnW Fergie highlight lol. This looks SO beautiful on you!
I think my fiancé may delete the link to your blog from my phone once he realizes that I get all my beauty info from you! This highlighter looks absolutely amazing I can’t wait to try.
Btw, if you ever get bored trying products send some to NC LOL.

Heyyyyy Tiffany!
I’m cracking up SO much at this…LMAO!!! Don’t let him know—don’t let him delete me! LMAOOOOOOO
I own this in Topaz and I’m pretty tempted to buy the Rose Gold. However I do want to know how do you apply the poured version?

Hey Alexis!
You can apply Poured the same way you would your other highlighters (you can use the BECCA The One brush if you have it or anything from a beautyblender to a foundation brush or any brush with densely packed bristles) or the way I did when I first tested it which was to tap it on with my fingers.
You are so beautiful. Wow!
