Perfect perfector
-05.20.13
Quick Take: soft shimmer
I absolutely love this.. I am not a big fan of shimmer or glitter of any kind BUT this one has the most perfect amount of shimmer. Looks amazing under a light to medium foundation.. Simply gorgeous

Quick Take: soft shimmer
I might be prone to drying, but I wanted to love this so much and just can't wear it. It dries my skin to no end and I have used moisturizer before application. It's a shame, and I'll have to be returning it. It looks pretty, so if your skin is not dry, it would be just ravishing.

Review 3 for Shimmering Skin Perfector SPF 25+
Just OK
-04.29.13
This was suggested by a famous make up artist to the start (Eldridge). I think it's nice, but nothing out of this world. In truth, I like smashbox better.
For whatever reason, I kept it instead of returning it (don't know why) but I guess I'll use it as a sunscreen for days around the house. Not sure how much "perfecting" I think it does, but what the heck. :)

LOVE this stuff. Very good formula.
-04.27.13
This highlighter is surprisingly good. I got a deluxe sample of it in opal with an order a couple of months ago and am still using the same small sample. A little, very fortunately, goes a long way. The price being what it is, I was a little hesitant at first to buy the larger size, but went ahead and got the full-sized bottle in the same shade because I knew that I would be unhappy with my makeup when I finally ran out if I didn't have anymore on stand-by. This product is awesome to use for highlighting cheekbones, browbones, and whatever else you would like to highlight. It works with different skin tones easily as well. My best friend is African American and I am (depending on the season) a fair to medium-toned person and this highlighter looked really nice on both of us. Not too dark on me or too light on her. I will definitely be buying this again.

Review 5 for Shimmering Skin Perfector SPF 25+
Much too sheer
-04.26.13
This product works to create a dewy look but as an actual highlighter, it's far too sheer. Go for something thicker if you are looking to play up the angles on your face in conjunction with contouring. I was disappointed and sad I didn't try this in the story before buying.

Review 6 for Shimmering Skin Perfector SPF 25+
Subtle sheen
-04.26.13
This will give a glow/dewiness that is pretty subtle so if you are looking for more obvious highlighting (ie for a night out), then this might not do it for you. I got pearl and the color of the lotion is white but it goes on sheer so it is essentially colorless (I am asian, MUFE 118-125). I think it is perfect for daytime/outdoors but for a more dramatic look, I would go for a cream or powder highlighter. Great for dry skin but may be too oily-looking for those who already have oily skin.

Love this product!
-04.26.13
Gives you that healthy glow to your skin. I apply it on the high points of my cheekbones and sometimes on my upper lip and it just gives me that instant luminosity without looking all that glittery like other products will do. Have this in moonstone and its a perfect match for my light to medium skin tone. Half a pump goes quite a long way.

Pearl Shade
-04.25.13
Quick Take: soft shimmer, sheer coverage
I came across this product watching Lisa Eldridge's make-up videos. She shows you exactly how to use this wonderful product. Now that I have used it, I understand why she highly recommends it. If you are on the fence to purchase I recommend watching her videos. One of the best products I own!

Review 9 for Shimmering Skin Perfector SPF 25+
Best Highlighter Ever!
-04.25.13
Quick Take: soft shimmer, sheer coverage
This is the best highlighter ever! I used to use Benefit's High Beam but it didn't always look natural-too frosty. Becca's highlighter (in Pearl) makes the skin look healthy and radiant. Once applied it looks like your natural skin but better. A must try for those of you looking for a sheer cream highlighter. Also the bottle is really big so it will last you forever since you only need one pump per use.

Review 10 for Shimmering Skin Perfector SPF 25+
Favorite Highlighter
-04.22.13
As good as Lisa Eldridge claims. Natural, easy to apply, leaves your skin glowing - never sparkly Own this in Opal - good choice for probably most skin colors especially when one can't decide.

Review 11 for Shimmering Skin Perfector SPF 25+
Healthy glow!!
-04.20.13
Quick Take: soft shimmer
I admit I've never heard of Becca before. I took a chance and bought a bottle (white pearl) because of all the great reviews here on Sephora. I must say I'm very impressed with this product. It blends very well with my daily routine of No Foundation Foundation (Perricone MD) and Obagi Sunscreen (I mix all three together in the palm and apply to face at once to save time). I usually top it off with Chanel sheer finish pressed powder. It gives my face a very natural and healthy glow that lasts all day, even at night before I wash my face, my skin and makeup still look all very fresh. I'm so happy to discover this product!

hype
-04.17.13
I didn't understand the hype of this product. I tried it in all applicable ways and you either wouldn't see it or it would make your face look greasy shiny. I didn't make me to break out hence three stars.

Review 13 for Shimmering Skin Perfector SPF 25+
pretty good
-04.12.13
I have only used a couple times so I am not sure I am totally sold on this yet, but I did mix with my foundation and it gave me a glowy look. I am still undecided as to whether I would buy it again.

Review 14 for Shimmering Skin Perfector SPF 25+
Use Sparingly!!
-04.06.13
Quick Take: very shimmery, lightweight, moisturizing
This is an excellent highlighter, however, a full pump releases too much product, and you cannot pump less than the full amount. The quantity is way more than you need for your face, so I plan on waiting until warm weather when I can rub the extra liquid into my arms for an added glow. I bought the lightest color after reading the reviews and think that I made a good choice--anyone can wear the Pearl. My all-time favorite highlighter is still stila's illuminating tinted moisturizer SPF 15 which comes in a tube and lets you control the exact amount you wish to apply --- which for me is just a smidge on my cheekbones, but I can't seem to find it anymore. I gave four stars instead of five because of the excess product the pump provides.

Review 15 for Shimmering Skin Perfector SPF 25+
Not good if using with foundation powder
-04.05.13
Quick Take: soft shimmer, sheer coverage, long lasting
This is not a good highlighter if you are putting it over foundation. I found it to be longlasting but it was more like a weird patch that dried on my cheeks after I kept trying to blend it. I think it only works well with liquid foundations (mixed or blended on top) However, it is the only luminzer that actually stays on my skin. Others I've tried dissapear in 1-2 hours. Even though it is long lasting I'd rather reapply others to make it soft and pretty rather than having a patch of glitter on my cheek all day.

not impressed
-04.05.13
I don't understand a hype of this product. It didn't make my face look better. It made it look greasier, even though I applied it only on cheekbones and a bit on eyelids. As for eyelids, it didn't work whatsoever and would get into white creases. I tried pearl shade, as my skin is very fair. Not worth the money. I give three stars for not making me break out.

Review 17 for Shimmering Skin Perfector SPF 25+
wendyb27
Dried out my skin but had a beautiful glow
-04.04.13
Sometimes you can't get the best of both worlds. My coworker was wearing this and her skin looked radiant and had a glow from within effect so naturally I had to have it. I tried using this as a moisturizer, after a moisturizer, before a primer, after a primer, before foundation as a highlight, and after foundation as a highlight and each time I did have that beautiful flow but it dried out my skin making my foundation flaky and patchy. I have combination skin some parts are normal some are dry and some are oily. I break out once a month (you can guess when and why) in my t-zone usually 1-3 blemishes at most. This caused me to break out into many tiny blemishes all across my forehead where I placed the product on my nose, under my nose, high points of my cheeks, and chin. Even had some really big monsterous breakouts. That plus the drying effect brought me to return the product which I am one of those whO does not like to return anything I would rather gift it or find some sort of use but I couldn't gift this to someone thinking it could have a reaction like this. What a huge bummer because this product was beautiful and gave such a stunning natural glow. So I purchased more Metorites in its place and I am reminded why I love love love Metorites and will continue to stick with them instead of trying unknown items when I have. Product that has never failed and magnificent.

Review 18 for Shimmering Skin Perfector SPF 25+
HG highlighter
-04.04.13
This stuff is my holy grail highlighter. The sheen these give is absolutely glorious. It is so much more sophisticated than traditional highlighters, both liquid and powder. I have this in Opal and Pearl, and a bottle will last forever because you need a tiny bit, and theres a ton of product. Opal looks like liquified champagne glow-y goodness, and Pearl makes my face look brighter. I would say that on my skin, Pearl looks like it highlights more, whereas Opal gives more of a glow. I cannot recommend these enough. They are amazing. If you have medium skin, give Opal a go. It is so so pretty. Pearl is pretty too, but I think Opal will look best on Medium skin tones and darker. Pearl may look ashy on darker skins.

Review 20 for Shimmering Skin Perfector SPF 25+
Best highlighter
-03.28.13
Quick Take: soft shimmer, sheer coverage
I have tried so many different highlighters but this is the best. Everyone has their own preferences but it's my opinion that cream / gel / liquid highlighters are the most natural looking. The amount of product is very generous for the price. I've used both moonstone and opal and they both look fantastic.
