\"Becca01\"<\/a>
\nAs I mentioned in my March Hits and Oh God NO’s<\/a>, the month of March has been all about glowy, luminous looking skin for me. Right in time, because the radiant, hyper-real skin trend has been taking the world of beauty by storm. The runways were filled with shiny cheekbones and highlighted noses, while I was still powdering the hell out of mine.<\/p>\n

Time for a change, and with that change came BECCA’s Shimmering Skin Perfector in Pearl…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"Becca02\"<\/a> \"Becca03\"<\/a>
\nBECCA’S Shimmering Skin Perfector comes in a sleek, matte-satin finish body with chrome Silver pump. I love how sophisticated and chic it looks. Not only is the packaging chic, it also feels strong and firm and definitely looks like it would survive a lot. I also really like the pump on this one, it pumps out just the perfect amount of product for 1 entire face application.<\/p>\n

The perfector is a water-based moisturizer with light-diffusing particles that help to give the skin an instant radiance, while reducing imperfections. It also contains SPF 25 and soothing anti-inflammatory ingredients. Talking about one hell of a good highlighter, huh?<\/p>\n

\"Becca04\"<\/a><\/p>\n

But the perfector doesn’t only shine in its ingredients and formulation. The consistency and appliance of this beauty is amazing as well. I’d describe the skin perfector in Pearl as a luminous, radiant liquid-y soft White Pearlescent cream, that blends into the skin beautifully. It’s very buildable and sets stunningly.<\/p>\n

I also love how this applies very cream\/liquid-y but sets in a “safe to touch”<\/em> finish, while still having that amazing sheen. With a lot of liquid highlighters you have to be careful not to touch them, because it leaves marks. And let’s not even begin about setting them with a powder, because that just takes all the shine out. None of that with the BECCA perfector.<\/p>\n

The best way I find to use the perfector is to lightly tap it onto the highest points of my face \u2014or my models’ faces\u2014 and blend it out slightly. Think: highest points of the cheeks, brow bones, bridge of nose + tip of the nose, cupidsbow and a light dash on the chin. For photoshoots I also like to tap some onto the part between the front and arch of the brow, blending up to the forehead. Less is more with this product. Don’t over-apply or you’ll look like a greaseball<\/em>. Here I applied the perfector the same way onto my models’ complexions:<\/p>\n

\"Becca07\"<\/a> \"Becca08\"<\/a><\/p>\n

THE VERDICT<\/h2>\n

I’m in love with this gorgeous, radiant, shiny beauty. It applies like a dream, has dream ingredients and just looks like a darn dream. It’s amazing and perfect for if you always wanted to get that stunning hyper-real finish, straight from the runway. The price might be a problem to some as you pay $41.00<\/em> for 1.7 oz\/50ml<\/em>. But considering you only need 1 pump a day, this will last you for a long, long time. Unless you’re like me, and you want to smear this all over your face 20 hours a day, just to feel like a glowing, radiant queen.<\/p>\n
