Becca Dreamsicle Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed Highlighter

Hi Beauties!

Becca Cosmetics has introduced their new Shimmering Skin Perfector Highlighter. Becca has some heavy hitters in the highlighter game including Opal and Champagne Pop. I was really intrigued when I saw the new limited edition shade. Well, to be honest, I'm a sucker for limited edition products and pretty patterns. The new delicious shade has me feeling for an orange creamsicle on a hot summer day. Dreamsicle is a soft tangerine shade with vanilla and gold swirl. The swirl embossing is stunning and the gold reflects shimmer in the sun. The highlighter retails for $46 CAD and $38 USD.

The highlighter comes in a white box with a tangerine swirl design that just screams summer. The compact comes in a limited edition white and silver packaging. The powder was "inspired by the dazzling light of the midday sun" and said to cater to all skin tones. The formula combines pigments and liquids to create a creamy texture. I don't find it as creamy as the previous powders but the formula is finely milled and blends seamlessly into the skin. The tangerine tone comes through as a subtle tint and isn't overwhelming. It looks like a peachy gold on my complexion. The highlighter itself is pigmented and has a metallic sheen with warm undertones. The powder is easy to build without emphasizing texture. It can be worn sheer if applied with a fan brush. I'm looking forward to warmer sunny days to rock Dreamsicle. It will look great with bronzy golden looks and exceptionally well once I have a tan. With that said I think this highlighter is a universal shade.

Kudos to Becca Cosmetics for creating such a unique shade of highlighter. I tried to find a dupe in my collection and the only thing that looks close is the NYX Duo Chromatic Illuminating Powder but it's more orange. As I previously stated, Becca has some amazing highlighters and Dreamsicle has a formula that I've come to expect and love from the brand. It can be worn as subtle or as popping as you like. I'm so glad I picked this up during the Sephora VIB sale.
