The Everywhere Highlighter

Becca Hyawatha Loose Shimmer Powder ($20.00 for 0.15 oz.) is a beautiful candlelit nude — it’s just a slight warmth, golden tone, but it’s not actually gold. It has an ultra smooth, ridiculously fine-milled texture; it feels like silk when pressed against skin. It even seems to adhere just fine without any sort of liquid or adhesive-based product (like Mixing Medium) when used as a highlighter. The fine texture makes it easy to mix in with your foundation or moisturizer for a quick and easy all-over glow.

Each jar packs a lot of product, too — so many brands do loose powders/pigments, but they’re usually less than 0.10 oz. (more like 0.05 oz.!), and Becca stampedes in with a hefty 0.15 oz.  Like many loose colors, a little goes a long way, so it doesn’t take much to get that effortless glow.  I didn’t see this product on Becca’s website at the moment (I bought mine during a HauteLook sale), but it’s readily available at other e-tailers like Dermstore and Glow.

    Loving that packaging……

  2. Cheyenne says:

    Wow this looks like a beautiful highlight. It’s only a bummer there would be one product I’d be buying since I do not see this Sephora, am I wrong?? I’m also going to check Ulta. I love buying more than one product so the shipping $$ is worth it.

  3. CeeBee says:

    I don’t have this particular shade but I do already own Princess (pale nude pink), Odette (soft old gold) and Gypsy (bright rose) – I love them, silky soft, utterly blendable and with just the right amount of shimmer.

    I just fold up a piece of clean tissue and stuff it in the gap between sifter and lid when I travel to stop too much product escaping. You can use them for just about everything!

  4. Rach says:

    I would love to see it compared to MAC Candlelight mineralize skinfinish.

  5. Diane says:

    Would this work for lighter skin tones too?

  6. Victoria says:

    Should I get this or wait for the Magically Cool Liquid Powders? What a dilemma!!

  7. chips says:

    I love the texture of Becca powder products, but they are so hard to find.

  8. Fruitful says:

    Thanks so much for this review. It can be hard finding reviews of Becca products these days and I usually just take a gamble buying them. :)

  9. Ashley D. says:

    I like the packaging of this!

  10. civa says:

    that looks gorgeous!

  11. Kat says:

    Christine, is the jar full when you first got if? I bought mine online but the product isn’t filled up to the rim.

  12. Bee says:

    I have this in pressed form: odette and angel. I love them both. Would this particular shade suit someone who is NC50? Because its yellow toned and i have golden undertones? What do you think?
