Fair skin friendly
Pearl is my all time favorite highlighter and even though I own the full size, I was very happy to receive this mini set in my Beautylish Lucky Bag back in Jan. Although it's a cool toned white powder in the pan, there is almost no back pigment and is really only seen when the light hits it instead of looking like a stripe of white on your face. There is a tiny amount of shimmer that's almost undetectable when blended but it doesn't have any glitter, microfine or chunky. I use a tapered highlight brush and apply a very small amount in a C shape from cheekbones to temple and then buff in little circles into my skin. I can always add more but this method ensures I don't have a layer of powder, which is more difficult to blend into my skin. For the liquid, I put 3-4 dots on my cheekbones and again, blend in small circles but with either a small natural hair or stiff synthetic brush. The liquid makes a beautiful inner corner highlight as well. I can't recommend this set enough, especially for those with very fair, cool toned skin, because it's perfect for travel. The full size version is so incredibly soft with her little protection in the compact but the mini is set much deeper in the pan and hasn't broken during any of the many trips it's taken with me. Lastly, those with a fair, yellow, peach or olive skintone may prefer a warmer white highlight instead of Pearl which may look too stark/cool toned/silvery and I'm not sure anyone deeper than NW20/25 will like this but I do recommend searching and, if possible, having it applied in store before buying
Amazing!
I've wanted to try out the Becca Pearl highlighter FOREVER but couldn't bring myself to splurge on the full size without knowing how I liked the product- so this is PERFECT. 20$ for a mini AND a mini liquid is a crazy good deal. On sephora, they sell a mini of a similar shade, and its 20$ JUST for the mini. This is the only place I could find this set of the shade Pearl- so I am so excited! The quality is amazing, and so smooth/soft. I actually bought 2 of these sets so that I could keep one at my boyfriend's house, so the little mirror that comes with it is very handy. Its small of course, because its a mini, but the actual mirror is very nice quality and easy to see into. Would reccomend! I'm definitely gonna buy the full size of the powder asap. Also, in terms of Beautylish- the shipping packaging is always amazing- always protected and also looks cute!
