Apres Ski Glow Collection

Becca Apres Ski Glow Collection Eye Lights Palette ($45.00 for 0.35 oz.) includes seven eyeshadows inspired by the brand’s famous powder highlighters, just designed “specifically for the eyes.” I think that one of the strengths of Becca’s Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed highlighters is their texture–that creamy, smooth, and velvety-feel that is almost effortless when it comes to blending and diffusing on the skin. That doesn’t exist in this palette; the textures are dry, powdery, and prone to sheering out. The eyeshadows only adhered decently to the lid with a dampened brush but were barely-there washes when I attempted to use them dry. When I tried using them dry over eyeshadow primer, they were still miserable to work with.

Pearl

Pearl is a pale, white gold with warm undertones and a pearly sheen. It had semi-opaque pigmentation with a moderately dusty texture that was prone to sheering out to semi-sheer coverage at best. This shade lasted for four and a half hours on me before fading significantly.

Rose Quartz

Rose Quartz is a light-medium peachy p ink with warm, golden shimmer and a metallic finish. The consistency was dry and sheered out as soon as I started to blend it out, which reduced its coverage from semi-opaque to a veil of gold (no peach/pink was apparent) when I applied to my lids with a dry brush. I was able to get more out of it using a dampened brush. It lasted for five hours before fading noticeably.

Moonstone

Moonstone is a light gold with warm, yellow undertones and a metallic sheen. It seemed to have good color payoff initially, but as soon as I started to blend the edges, the drier, powdery texture just sheered out the color to semi-sheer coverage. I noticed that it seemed to “melt” on the lid but fade very quickly (five hours) from there.

Opal

Opal is a medium gold with warm undertones and a metallic sheen. It had semi-opaque pigmentation in a single layer, but it was impossible to maintain the coverage as the color did not stick to the skin and sheered out as soon as I started to diffuse the edges. This shade lasted for five hours before fading significantly.

Topaz

Topaz is a medium-dark gold with warm undertones and a frosted sheen. It had rich pigmentation, and it actually applied better than a lot of other shades as it did not seem to be quite as dry and felt like it had more binder in it, which helped it adhere better to bare skin. The color lasted a bit longer, too, at six and a half hours of wear.

Toasted Marshmallow

Toasted Marshmallow is a medium, golden brown with a soft, copper pearl. It had sheer color payoff that did not build up and barely adhered to the lid–I could almost blow the powder off my arm! It lasted for three hours on my lids before looking patchy and slightly creased.

Hot Cocoa

Hot Cocoa is a muted, medium-dark brown with warm, rosy undertones and a satin sheen. It had good pigmentation that applied decently to the lid, but it was harder to blend out as the texture was dry and on the stiffer side. The eyeshadow wore well for five and a half hours on me.
