REVIEW: Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector in Moonstone (on very fair skin)

I have owned Becca's Shimmering Skin Perfector in Moonstone for a solid 8 months at this point.  There is no noticeable dent after that time but there really shouldn't be given how little highlighter you need per application and how infrequently I wear it.

My slightly divoted pan with the very lovely RealTechniques fan brush, used in the below images for application  


Moonstone is a white gold colour.  On my skin the shade is a light gold which borders on overly yellow but certainly not to the extent that a truly gold highlighter looks.

I got Moonstone on sale at Adore Beauty in October.  This was just prior to the release of Pearl - a true white highlight.  Honestly I wish I had waited for Pearl, not because Moonstone is bad, just because I'm that pale.


Here is me from the side and front before highlight


And this is after a sweep of Moonstone onto the cheekbones, nose and cupid's bow


Becca's formula is quite pigmented and fairly soft though if you prefer a glow as opposed to sparkle, avoid this highlighter.  It is quite obvious that the highlight looks like a diffused application of glitter.

I haven't noticed any noticeably good or bad wear time though the skin on my cheeks is normal so everything is generally pretty chilled out in that region of my face.

Summary: The product is a little dark for my personal skin colour but nonetheless provides a fairly attractive highlight with easy application.

Rating: 3/5
