![]() ![]() This post has been months in the works as I’ve been testing some of the most luxurious makeup bases, foundations and powders on the market. Have you tried any of these yet? If yes what did you think? If not what are some of your Becca favorites?Īpres Ski Palettes sent courtesy of Becca for review. Bronzed Amber and Lilac Geode are available exclusively at Ulta. Smoky Quartz is a Becca Cosmetics website exclusive. Online at Sephora, Beautylish, Ulta Beauty and Becca Cosmetics. You can find the Becca Apres Ski Palettes at all counters and retailers now. I definitely think they’re worth tracking down. The three individual Shimmering Skin Perfectors are pure love for me. The quality and colors of the Becca Apres Ski Palettes are good and whether or not I’d recommend them is going to be based on your color preference and if you already own individual shades. I really just like picking the shades I like and know I’ll use. Overall, palettes can be good, but every once in a while I’m reminded why I pass on them and opt for the individual colors. Swatch comparisons next to the full-size individual Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed in Opal, Champagne Pop, Rose Gold and the two shades from the Becca x Chrissy Teigen Palette (review here) On me it’s a highlighter color, if you are fair this will probably show up more pink/tan. It’s a unique pink mauve tan taupe shimmer that has smooth pigmented shimmer. Smoky Quartz is just as pretty as it is on the Becca website. I adore this color on the skin to warm up the complexion in a natural way. The shimmer in this one is on the softer side on my skintone which makes it look like a blush/bronzer a bit more than highlighter. The gold is very soft which I like, sometimes with duo chromes the gold can be too yellow or too sharp. Lilac Geode is a unique duo chrome lilac pink gold shimmer. These three are absolutely beautiful, true to the individual Shimmering Skin Perfector texture, pigment and smooth finish. Smoky Quartz is exclusive to the Becca website ($38 for 8 g). Two of these in Lilac Geode and Bronzed Amber are both exclusive to Ulta ($38 each for 7 g and 8 g respectively). I am normally a Sephora or Beautylish shopper for Becca and some colors are retailer exclusives so I could not find them there. In addition there are three Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed Highlighters that have been a bit hard for me to track down. These are the shades swatched with a heavy hand below: In the palette you have lighter colors that I feel aren’t the most unique and while the medium to deeper colors are beautiful I would have liked to see more pigment in the deeper shades. Sheer shimmers can be good especially if you are looking for something with a super soft effect rather than a glaring sharp frost. The overall feel is sheerer than what you normally see from Becca. I have mixed feelings about the pigment and texture. The Eye Lights Palette has seven shimmering colors for eye highlights. ![]() Still I think this one is quite stunning. There is the convenience factor but I feel like there are too many repeats of previously launched shades which makes this less unique. The overall look and composition of the palette is stunning, however if you have been a Becca fan you probably already own several of the shades. There is also one bronzer in Bronzed Bondi which I find on the sheerer than the individual full-sized one I reviewed here. Blushed Copper is super pigmented while Winter Berry is sheer. There are also two blushes in Blushed Copper (metallic copper shimmer) and Winter Berry (sheer matte pink). All three highlighters are smooth and soft with sheer to medium pigment for a soft glow. Up first is a look at the Apres Ski Glow Face Palette which has three highlighters in Rose Quartz (soft iridescent pink), Icicle (pale white aqua), and Opal (classic shimmery champagne). ![]() I think the Glow Face Palette is a hit, but not must-have and the Eye Lights Palette is ok, but also not a must-have. The items are all shimmering and glowy and in this day I do not think any of us need any more highlighters but new ones continue to pop up everywhere.įor holiday there are two new palettes with the Apres Ski Glow Face Palette ($54 for 15.5 g/0.54 oz, made in USA) and the Eye Lights Palette ($45 for 9.8 g/ 0.35 oz). I have a roundup of some new holiday palette launches from Becca alongside three Shimmering Skin Perfectors that have been on my wishlist for ages. ![]()
