Becca Rose Gold Shimmering Skin Perfector ($38.00 for 0.30 oz.) is a warm-toned, light-medium peach-brown with rose, gold, and copper shimmer. Urban Decay Glint is lighter. MAC Soft & Gentle is lighter, more beige. Le Metier de Beaute Whisper is lighter. Bobbi Brown Rose Gold is pinker. Not a dupe but because it does come to mind, Benefit Rockateur is significantly pinker. See comparison swatches.

This is a new–and limited edition!–shade for the holidays, and it also has a raised pattern/design in the pan. The texture is soft, finely-milled, and very blendable. It gives a noticeable but not over-the-top glow to the skin when dusted lightly over it–the finish doesn’t turn metallic. On my skin tone, there’s almost no visible color, but on fairer complexions, I would expect to see some warmth and color, not just a sheen. Like Moonstone, it’s not a totally foolproof highlighter, because it is incredibly pigmented, so it can be easy to over-apply and get a finish that emphasizes pores. I had the best luck applying with a fan brush across the high planes of the face. Rose Gold wore well, though, and stayed on my skin for eight and a half hours and only started to show signs of fading after nine hours of wear.

This is pretty, but I can just see it looking super oily on me. I’m so intrigued by Becca products though, I’ve never seen them for sale anywhere here.

I just don’t get some brands… I look at the ingredient list and see a lot of crap..! Petrolatum, paraffin, polyethylene (plastic – does not belong on my face!), talc as first ingredient, I could probably go on forever… I mean for an expensive product they should do better than this! Arrrgh!!

I’m such a huge die hard fan of the original cream formulation of skin perfector i’ve been curious about these since they launched. After checking out the review and photos I might have to grab one

Hi Christine!

How does this compare with MAC mineralized skinfinish in Porcelain Pink and Light flush(color wise)? I’m such a sucker for highlighters and wanted to know if this is going to be different!

Hi Christine! So sweet of you for a quick reply! I also own MAC Stereo Rose, if I have the three aforementioned,would you recommend l need this? I have Becca’s moonstone liquid and powder and love the finishes, I’m just running out of room in the make up pantry I’m beginning to look like a secret hoarder :'(

I need make up rehab :p (but your blog is my addiction!)
