Becca Champagne Collection Face Palette Review, Photos, Swatches
Becca Champagne Collection Face Palette
Becca Champagne Collection Face Palette ($52.00 for 0.72 oz.) includes two highlighters and three blushes. Each highlighter contains 0.19 oz. of product ($51.57 worth), each Mineral blush contains 0.12 oz. ($38.40 worth), and the Luminous blush contains 0.10 oz. ($16.19 worth)–the palette has a total value of $106.16 or $10.40 per shade. I think there’s plenty of each product, and the size of each pan (even the smaller blushes) is appropriate and can be used with a slew of blush and highlighter brushes. Like other Becca palettes, the texture is noticeably drier and looser in the pan for the highlighters, compared to the standalone formula, which is something I notice more by feel and initial application, but it doesn’t seem to change the color, tone, or the way the product looks applied and blended on the skin (this is my only hesitation about the palette). Worth noting, Becca called out the Mineral Blushes as matte, but their interpretation of matte is more like true satin–there is a sheen to the skin but is not overly shimmery, and secondly, Becca seems to market their blushes as more buildable/medium in coverage but all three are very pigmented–this is, as a result, reflected in the rating but if you like your blushes pigmented, you should mentally bump up the ratings.
Overall, it is a nice cheek palette, though it leans very warm and coral-toned with three of five having higher-sheen finishes so it’ll be best for those who like their golds and pink-corals and more of a metallic finish than a subtle highlight. I think making either Rose Spritz or Pamplemousse more of a cooler-toned shade would have helped make the palette more versatile (maybe a mauve or plum). The packaging is heft, very solid, and some might even find it a little too heavy to carry in an everyday bag. It clicks closed, and the lid stays up, so it is usable–probably some of the nicest cheek/face palette packaging released in awhile. For me, personally, it’s very easy to wear on my coloring, and as they’re all blendable, they are easy to use as well. I could definitely see traveling with this one.
Champagne Pop is a pop of warm, peachy-orange gold with a strong, frosted finish. It is definitely the type of highlighter where a little goes a long way, and I think there is a small learning curve when using Becca’shighlights–a lighter, feathery brush and a lighter hand, as they are very pigmented, is recipe for great results. The texture felt a little drier and looser in the pan (to the touch) compared to my standalone version, which I found true in the Champagne Glow trio and the Afterglow palette. The standalone is just creamier and smoother; it feels more luxurious, but oddly, they really perform the same. They look the same applied, the color is within range between versions (especially once blended out/applied but the version in this palette seemed yellower to me but hard to distinguish the difference once applied to the face. It lasted eight hours on me. Becca Champagne Pop (DC, $38.00) is less shimmery, cooler (90% similar). Melt Cosmetics Gold Ore (P, $39.00) is less shimmery, cooler (95% similar).

Prosecco Pop is a light-medium gold with warm, yellow undertones and a frosted sheen. Side-by-side, it’s darker and has a stronger yellow tone (compared to the more peach-orange of Champagne Pop), and then blended out, it’s marginally darker and doesn’t have as strong of a white base to it. I feel like if it was a bit darker and deeper (a little more brown in it), it would be more contrasting next to Champagne Pop, but they are more similar than they are different. The texture was very blendable, though a little dry to the touch, and did emphasize pores slightly, even when I used a lighter hand/less dense brush (what I normally use with Becca’s highlighters, as they are very pigmented!). The color lasted for eight hours on me. Urban Decay Uni-mind (LE, $26.00) is less shimmery, cooler (95% similar). Guerlain Electric Look #2 (LE, ) is less shimmery (95% similar).

Rose Spritz is a bright pop of warmer pink with strong, golden frost that translated into a near-metallic sheen. I would say is too pink to be even a pink-coral but if you have very strong yellow undertones, it may end up looking more coral than pink once applied and blended out! The texture was blendable and fairly smooth, not quite as “dry” as the highlighters but not quite as creamy or as finely-milled as the standalone formula. It had rich pigmentation, which isn’t how the formula is billed (see more about that in my Luminous Blush reviews), so if you wanted a sheerer, buildable formula that really can be used as a “blush topper,” this might be a miss for you. On the other hand, if you like your blush very pigmented, this will be right up your alley. This shade wore well for eight hours and just stopped short of emphasizing pores on me. Sleek MakeUP Rose Gold (P, $6.99) is more shimmery, cooler (90% similar). NYX Intuition (P, $6.50) is less shimmery, warmer (90% similar).

Amaretto is a slightly muted, medium-dark rosy brown with warm undertones and a smidgen of fine, gold pearl. It had good color payoff with a soft, smooth, and blendable texture–no dryness present at all–that was easy to apply and use. As it wasn’t as shimmery as the prior three shades, there was no issue about pores or being more light-handed. The problem is that Becca, for reasons I don’t understand, says it’s a buildable formula, when it’s quite pigmented. The color lasted for eight hours on me before fading. Milani Cocoa Felicita (P, $7.99) is cooler (95% similar). theBalm Balm Desert (P, $21.00) is lighter (95% similar). Chanel Elegance (370) (P, $45.00) is lighter, warmer (95% similar).

Pamplemousse is a bright pop of medium-dark pink with warm undertones and a satin finish. It had very rich color payoff–a little went a long way–and I highly recommend using a light hand with this. The texture was smooth and blendable, but it had a slightly thinner feel to it compared to the other four shades in the palette. Again, the formula is supposed to have buildable coverage, but it is rather pigmented, so I think that if you prefer subtler, sheerer color, you are out of luck, and if you happen to prefer your blushes more pigmented, then it’s not a deal-breaker at all–it’s just contrary to what the brand claims. This shade lasted for eight and a half hours on me. NYX Peach (DC, $5.00) is less shimmery, lighter (90% similar). Makeup Geek Love Affair (DC, $9.99) is cooler (95% similar). NARS Impudique (LE, $30.00) is more shimmery, cooler (95% similar). MAC Happy-Go-Rosy (P, $29.00) is lighter, more muted (90% similar).

Tom Ford Beauty Exotic Flora (Top) (LE, ) is lighter (90% similar). ColourPop Mic Drop (P, $8.00) is less shimmery (90% similar). Give Me Glow Cravin' Cajun (P, $14.00) is less shimmery, darker (90% similar). Essence Bold Heart (P, $5.99) is less shimmery (90% similar). Patrick Ta She's Vibrant (Crème) (PiP, ) is lighter, cooler, glossier (90% similar). ColourPop Court of Miracles (LE, $12.00) is lighter, cooler (90% similar).

I don’t need it but I kind of want it 🙂
I know the feeling!
If i didnt have the afterglow palette (and By Terry Light n Tan) i would prolly grab this!!!
You are covered! 🙂
Wow, these look really good on you. We’re the same coloring, and I might pick this up!
Thanks, Abby! 🙂
It does look gorgeous on you Christine! I agree with your review of the blushes, they are way more pigmented than marketed but its a good thing than bad. I definitely don’t want to be building up on a sheer blush every morning ?
I just find it bizarre that like… just about every shade in both ranges is really pigmented? I don’t understand why they don’t just advertise them as such, LOL! I prefer medium coverage myself that’s buildable, since then I can intensify or keep it medium without a lot of work!
Wow this is pretty!
It is!
Helpful review. Amaretto looks great on you.
Thank you, Missy!
Oh no, “recommended”?? Must resist… Must resist. But it’s so pretty! I really wish Becca would have done a full blush palette this time around- I already have Champagne Pop and yellow-gold highlighters are my least favorite type of shade (although I do love the name Prosecco Pop!).
It’s totally dupable, so if you have similar shades, you can easily skip! 🙂 It’s a nice palette, and the value is there – I think they did a good job pricing it out. I feel like the pricing they have is similar to Hourglass (perhaps a smidgen less), but Becca did a wayyy better job with pricing/quantity.
Christine, will you be reviewing the eyeshadow palette before it is released? 🙂
Unfortunately I cannot do so until they’re available for purchase as I buy them (like I did with this palette)! So sorry!
Dang, but this is gorgeous! I spent most of my “disposable” income fixing my car’s radiator, so I’m sure this will be long gone by the time I can afford it. Not that I actually need it…
I’ll be curious if it sells out/if they made a ton!
I’m not much of a fan of face palettes. I only tend to like very small ones such as the Becca Afterglow palette – I feel that each colour, for me personally, has multiple uses whereas with this palette, as much as it’s lovely, I would neglect some of the colours I think. It really does look nice but it’s just not for me. Thank you for your review Christine! ?
No palette is worth it if you’d neglect some of the shades, so good call to skip! 🙂
I knew it!!! This baby is a hit! So now which comes first: Chanel Empres**** green/gold/ bronze e/s quad or this very perfect cheek palette??? My brain just went on spin cycle and tumble! LoL!
(BTW, I think I had better learn some French if I intend to wear Chanel!)?
My guess is this will sell faster than Chanel, but I wouldn’t be at all surprised if you had dupes for the shades already, even if it not in the palette! Do you think you’d need/use it *as* a palette?
Which one?
The Becca palette is the one I think will sell faster!
The Chanel, woman! That would look great on you, and you prob have some of these already. That quad is so refined, but lends itself to lots of different looks. That one is a must for you. Both would be nice, though. And don’t forget UD megashow is coming soon. Agree that the Chanel will probably be around longer.
Chanel it is! At least as the 1st acquisition. If this is still around, I may try for it, too.
I barely know who Jaclyn Hill is, but I really like the look of this palette. The packaging is pretty, and the shades look right up my alley! I’m thinking it would be a good opportunity for me to try Becca’s powder highlighter and blush formulas.
When is the full release supposed to happen?
May 26th!
The blushes are really nice but I know they highlighters will be a bit too much for my pale self. I think this is more of hit for medium skin tones.
Totally understand, Erin!
The only shades I could use are the two outside blushes…. why is Rose Spritz Luminous Blush LE Becca! lol I do own Rose Gold from Sleek so I’m good with that. 😉
am i the only one who is bothered that the 2 highlighters are not centered in the bottom row of the palette? why is thee more space on the left side? just for the logo? Overall this looks really pretty but really dupable.
Other readers mentioned this previously! 🙂 Yes, it is dupable!
It is a beautiful palette for sure. Is it LE? Since I didn’t like Champagne Pop, I will pass on this one.
Yes, it’s limited edition!
The colors look beautiful on you ?
I have no ill feelings about Jaclyn, but I hope this is the last we see from this collaboration. Instead, I’d like to see Becca reach out and collaborate with spmeone either on the fair/cool end of the spectrum, and/or someone on the deeper end. The market is already saturated with products in the middle, fair skintones have to rely on the occasional LE collections, and deeper tones are either neglected, or have to hunt down specialty brands. Becca has at least covered both ends with the highlighters, but it would be nice to see some expansion.
I guess it’s not odd that it is so warm-toned, but it just feels so, so warm-toned that it just begs for something neutral or cool… something more muted and less oomph, I think for more universal appeal.
I *love* the fact that it is just one “note”, as sooo many face palettes try to appeal across the spectrum, which means at least 1/3 of the shades would go unused (which was why I passed on the UD Gwen Stefani cheek palette) for many people. The fact Becca sat down with one individual, and had a “vision” in mind is quite commendable, and going with Jaclyn was wise, as many of her followers jumped on the Opal bandwagon. Now, since Becca has gained more ground, and has become synonymous with highlighting (and I don’t see the trend going away anytime soon!), I think it would be great to see them do it again with someone on an extreme end of the spectrum. I have Pearl & Moonstone, but something pale with a pink or lilac tinge would be nice…
I think that it’s not often that palettes appeal to me in the NC 42-44 range, but I think this one can be worn!
Also the packaging reminds me of Tom Ford’s summer collection !
I actually think it will actually work on deeper skin tones, whereas a lot of blush palettes don’t or just barely. I don’t think it’s the perfect palette for darker skin tones but looks like it will be more usable than most. I think Amaretto might be the only one that might be a total miss – maybe a subtle highlighter or bronzer on medium-dark skin tones, and Rose Spritz might end up working as a highlighting blush!
This palette is definitely great value. I’ll give Becca that! These are way too pigmented for my tastes (never thought I’d complain about that…lol). I’m not careful enough to make sure I don’t look like a clown. I recently bought the Becca Blushed Radiance set and I’ve barely touched my Champagne Pop so I think I’m good!
Haha! I get you, Carly! Pamplemousse is super, super intense and bright, so it’s a shade that requires more care/patience to apply, and I often reach for more mid-tone shades just because they are faster and more forgiving!
Do you think this is an easy pass if I have both the Afterglow palette and champagne glow palettes?? Thanks for the review!
You could definitely skip, Kim!
What is the likelihood that Prosecco Pop will be sold separately?! Just curious because I’d never never use the blushes and I have champagne pop so I can’t justify buying the entire palette for just one highlighter. I really hope they sell it alone eventually.
It’s definitely possible, but I really have no idea! It’s pretty dupable, though.
Shauna, you should check out the Anastasia Glow Kit in That Glow- the whole palette is in the yellow gold family and 2 of the shades come up as dupes of Prosecco Pop. Plus, the entire palette is about the price of one full- sized Becca highlighter ?
To my absolute surprise, I really like Amaretto (not just on you …. I think it might work on me), but wow – Pamplemousse makes you look like your cheeks are on FIRE. Like others, I also don’t need it but I sort of want it (and sort of want to slap myself for wanting it).
I’ll probably use Pamplemousse to brighten or lightly tapped on with one of the other shades or lightly patted on and then more of the highlighter shades to lighten.
The colors are really pretty (love Prosecco), they definitely run shimmery and/or warm, but I’m already up to my eyeballs in blushes and highlighters, including some dupes, so will be skipping
Money saved!
I will probably be buying this. I think we have a similar skin tone and I like how it looks on you in the pictures,=.
Thanks, Merritt!
I ordered on the limited release and really like it. It’s very pretty and high quality. I’m not really a J-Hill fangirl but she and Becca have thus far done a great job in collaborating together.
The palette is nice!
Hi,
Is Rose Spritz dupable with any of Becca’s luminous blush shades?
Hi Sonia,
As always, all dupes that I could think of are already listed for each shade!
Looks beautiful on you Christine. I love everything in the palette except I am not to crazy about Pamplemousse.
Thanks, Maria!
Honestly I expected something more unique… like less dupeable? Kind of disappointing in my opinion, which is probably because I’ve got enough close dupes . At least with your dupe list backing me up I can now conclude that I really don’t “NEED” it and hopefully that’ll stop me from falling for all the hype it’s getting on social media haha!
You can safely skip!
Well, I am certain that I will be one of those people stalking the Sephora site for this at launch. This is gorgeous! I certainly don’t *NEED* this, but it’s right in my shade range and the only Becca highlighter I own is Pearl in the poured formula (and I much prefer powders to creams)
Good luck snagging one!
The champagne pop in this new pallete is different from the one in the first pallete.
The color is very slightly different but applied/blended out, I couldn’t tell the difference!
I had to go thru some crazy stuff when they released this! (I have an android phone) It was so worth it this is so beautiful! I was shocked that the packaging was so extremely hefty. You look amazing in every color! They said on Snapchat they made enough of these for everyone to get one. We’ll see how true that is. I’m sure the eyeshadows will be easy to dupe but i can’t help it i want it!
So glad you got one, Trina!
I love everything about this palette except that is limited edition, and I am trying to save money right now. I am so sad no one got me a Sephora gift card for my birthday last week.
Aww!
I’m really impressed with the blushes in this. Rose Spritz is lovely, and looks great on you. I expected Amaretto to be just another bronzer, but it’s much more rose toned and definitely a blush. The only thing I can think of that is vaguely similar is Benefit Dallas, so it’s a welcome addition to the world of blush. Pamplemousse is also not a common shade and seems practically neon in its brightness.
The highlighters seem less special, so the whole palette is a miss for me, but the blushes are lovely.
The blushes are nice!
These are definitely my kind of cheek shades, although I don’t know if I *need* a whole cheek palette any time soon.
Just a little thing, but it bothers me that the highlighters aren’t centered. I know they needed a spot for the logo, but that just makes me twitch.
I actually think they could have skipped the logo, since it’s already on the exterior of the palette, IMO!
These are just sensational colours. I don’t usually like these kinds of palettes because there is often a few colours that I wouldn’t wear, but I am pretty sure I would use all of these. The best of Becca.
As Angelica said above – I don’t need it but I kind of want it…so true.
Becca did a good job packaging it all up!
I am soooo glad I have held out buying the standalone champagne pop!! This is gonna be a toughie to nab, I’m sure of it. I just hope they put out enough and keep re-stocking!!
Woohoo!
I like Rose Spritz and maybe Amaretto but Prosecco would not suit my skin tone. I also wish the highlighters were smaller. I have too many gold highlighters, so it’s a pass for me. Love your look, Christine!
Thank you, Tracey!
Would you recommend this palette or one of the Glow Kits? I’m so torn!
Oh, that’s tough! Which one do you have more dupes for? Which do you think you’d use more?
This is pretty but the only shade that I love is Rose Spritz, I’m not too fussed about the others for some reason. Just as well as I spent ££ on my By Terry palette and that’s enough for me!
The By Terry palettes are quite nice!
I think I want this palette, love the colors! I don’t own Champagne Pop. But I do have MAC Whisper of Gilt and Becca Opal which are both dupes for it .And I also own the Becca Afterglow and Anastasia Glow palettes. So I don’t really need it. I really like the pink blushes and golden highlighters in this palette but I hope it’s not too hard to buy. I’m getting tired of “hunting” down hard to find makeup like the Peach palette and Milani Amore liquid lipsticks that are never in stock!! If it’s too elusive I’ll pass on it. But if it’s readily available I’ll buy it.
Ahh, I feel like you are definitely covered between what you already have – definitely no reason to stalk the site for it!
I had the opportunity to buy this palette when it was available on Sephora but I passed…Now I kinda regret it after seeing how pretty it looks on you. With your skin tone, someone you manage to pull off everything you try!
You’re very sweet, Jenny! 🙂
Oh, wow. Red letter day. First one ever, if recall serves. Nothing appeals to me or makes it to a wish list. But the Becca would make a lovely gift. Wallet is saying, whew, thank you. Debit card is dancing. New bites aren’t in-store yet. Maybe I’ll have to check out the new Mayb bolds. Gotta assuage the addiction on my midweek weekend!
If this was coming out during the holidays, I think it would go so, so fast as the price point/presentation is perfect for gift giving.
They all look so pretty on you! Very happy I held out on getting Champagne Pop. I have had a full-sized Opal for over a year now and I’ve barely made a dent in it so I hesitated getting others. I already own the Afterglow palette, but I think I can treat myself to this palette since it is such a good value. Never enough highlighter!
Thank you, Jacqueline!
Wow, this looks gorgeous on you Christine!
I never dived for any Becca product and this palette is so very tempting (in term of value, shades and packaging). If I remember correctly, they sell the brand in Europe in some uk shops… I might be able to get my hand on it
I’m just afraid I won’t be able to make it work with my fair skin (pink to neutral undertone). Did any fair lady put her hand on it? What do you think Christine?
Thanks for this review!
Thank you so much, Marie-Estelle!
I think it’ll work on fair skin tones, though Pamplemousse might be the “harder” shade to wear if you are fair and don’t normally wear pigmented blush!
Thank you for your reply 🙂 !
Pamplemousse is definitely the shade you don’t apply with a bad lighting and a dense brush. I know the “struggle” with my blush Argyle from the Balm. The good thing is that my blush/highlighter stash is not extensive yet. This palette would offer the possibility to test finishes and color I do not own! Still have a month to make a decision!
I’m also curious to see what you will think of the eyeshadow palette.
I know you must read it often but I am really thankful for your commitment while reviewing a product, especially when it receives so much hype. So far I mostly found “reviews” where people just swatch the color on their arm, say it’s “OMG so pretty” (+ “I love JH” sometimes, as a bonus).
So true about not applying it in bad lighting either, lol!
Thank you so much for your kind words, Marie-Estelle! 🙂
Oohhhhhhhh so pretty! *swoon*
It is!
Thank goodness, this is an easy pass. Amaretto is really pretty, but the other two blushes look like a dozen others I own. And both highlighters are too dark for me.
Yay! 🙂
This is really super pretty, but seriously dupeable in my stash. I hate how the palette layout looks like a total afterthought. I hate how they have tucked the logo (which I also do not care for) in the left hand corner of the palette..like stuck it in the only place they could find which offsets the bottom two pans and it looks just plain weird.
If I still travelled a lot, I might be more tempted by the convenience of having these products in one compact.
I really don’t think they needed to have the logo on the interior, since it is the focal point of the exterior packaging already. For a brand like Becca, who seems to have a very clean aesthetic, it seems like a misstep.
I totally agree with you about how convenient this is for travel. Also I was kind of bothered by the asymmetric layout and the logo at first. After thinking about it, I wonder if that was intentional so if you are holding the mirror up with one hand your thumb won’t be in the highlighter. I haven’t picked up the palette yet (hoping to do so this week.) I can’t wait to see it in person. Hopefully the layout won’t bother me 🙂
Yes please! This is beautiful!
Enjoy!
I can not wait to pick up this palette! This is going to be beautiful on my NW50 skin!
Keep me posted on how you wear it, Miss Jae! I am curious how Amaretto will look on NW50 skin!
I didn’t think I needed it… and then I saw “Pamplemousse” on your cheeks.
*swoons*
Aww!
I don’t really feel like I need this. That’s a relief.
Phew!
How does this look for darker skin tones? I’m an NC 40-42, but amaretto and rose spritz look like they might not show up on me very well. I love champagne pop and Laura Gellars gilded honey, but if they released prosecco pop in a stand alone compact, I wouldn’t be able to resist even though I have a thousand highlighters. I’m just not sure if it will be worth it to get the whole palette…
Amaretto is the one I’d be most worried about; I think Rose Spritz is more likely a highlighting blush than a true blush but with the shimmer finish, it should be more noticeable on darker complexions. Amaretto I worry will blend in – possibly a very, very subtle bronzer/warming element?
If it’s just Prosecco Pop you’re after, I’m sure you have a dupe–Gilded Honey should be close enough!–that you could hold out to see if they release it on its own!
Thanks!! I think I can hold off until they release prosecco pop as an individual highlight… I hate the thought of not being able to use one of the blushes after spending so much money!!
Great review as always! I’m trying to decide between this collection and Tarte’s Swamp Queen.
Have you tried much from either brand?
This is not pertaining to this palette but becca highlighters in general, but is there anyone else who was a little disappointed in them? I bought the becca afterglow palette since it was great way to sample them, but they just look a little…dry on me? like they don’t sit very well on the skin or meld with it. I somehow prefer the kevyn aucoin candlelight and even the mary loumanizer for that matter which is cheaper
If you like Candlelight, then maybe it’s the finish? Becca’s are so metallic that I think that it can easily look like you’re wearing a highlighter vs. Candlelight is more of a lit-from-within finish that isn’t as obvious. Though, Mary-Lou is similarly metallic to Becca.
I perfectly agree Aditi, I tried the powders and I feel them gritty and so cheep looking. I prefer the liquid from Becca or the Colourpop ones. I use Kevin Aucoin Candlelight daily, it’s my favorite highlighter, classy like no others.
Great, great review. Thank you so much.
No problem, Michelle!
aaawww man, now I really want it! The shades look so good on you!
Awww! Thank you! Maybe you have dupes in your stash already?
These are all very pretty but the older I get the less able I am to wear shimmery products. I bought the champagne pop after all the hype and it’s just too much for me on. I may have to try it with a lighter hand/brush as you’ve described. I love this palette in theory but I think it would be too glowy for me and accentuate my pores too much. Sad!! I use to be obsessed with things like this!
I can definitely see Becca’s pressed highlighters being too shimmery!
You look terrific! All the colours are very becoming to you 🙂
Thank you, Natalia!
I think it’s perfect for medium/dark skins, but for fair skin like me it is going to be clownish, unless you put a lot of effort to sheer it out (and it doesn’t make a loto of sense to me). I live in Europe and I have to pay +20% plus 10 euros for shipping.. For that amount of money I’d better buy a Tom Ford palette because honestly the effect is more elegant that this one.
Totally understand, Clidre! 🙂 Sounds like a good call to skip it!
Did you have a specific palette in mind when you wrote your comment? You made me curious 🙂
Bought this today and the poured pop!!! Champagne pop was my first highlighter ever, and now I must gleam every day. LOVE!!
Enjoy, Laura!
Great review, as always. I always read what you have to say before making a purchase. I have a question- how similar in your opinion is Amaretto to The Balm desert and Benefit Dallas? I didn’t see them in the dupe list but they are the same cocept of a bit rosy-mauve bronzer. Would love to hear your thoughts.
Balm Desert is lighter but similar! Dallas is a few shades lighter and warmer!
Okay I just realised I already have like 3 products that are really similar so no need to buy it ha.
Nice! 😀
Hey Christine ! I just got this 2 days ago and I am loving the Amaretto shade. If you or anyone is still wondering how Amaretto would look on medium-tan skin, it looks like a really nice everyday blush or “contour blush.” I’m a Mac NC42-NC44 for shade references btw (: The shade didn’t look ashy and the color did show.
Thank you so much!! I’m so glad it shows up 🙂
Hi Christine, I’d like to know your thoughts on this pallete vs the Anastasia glow kits. In particular the sun dipped one that’s just come out. I’m trying to decide which one to buy and have never tried either brand before. I prefer a more subtle highlights and am a NC42 skin tone. Thanks in advance 🙂
I reviewed it here: http://www.temptalia.com/anastasia-sun-dipped-glow-kit-review-photos-swatches/
I just picked up this palette tonight. I have a tan/deep skin tone and its beautiful. Higkughters and all. And i NEVER go for cheek palettes. But the reason i was sold on it was the sales girl in sephora had this BEAUTIFUL eyeshadow look on. I was stunned. Asked her what she was wearing in her eyes…it was this palette. Brown color in crease, obv highlight browbone.
So glad you are enjoying it, Michelle!
I found this palette in my Sephora yesterday. I looked on there website and I seen reviews on how its to shimmery. I like a little glitter but not to much I have not use this on my face yet I’m hoping this will not be to much glitter for me. Does anyone feel its to glittery?
Becca’s highlighters are very metallic!
Hello!
Would Amaretto be similar to Nars Madly blush?
You can compare any two swatches whenever you want through “Compare Any Two,” which is shown on every review post as well as in the Swatch Gallery! http://www.temptalia.com/side-by-side/?sbs_1_search=Becca+Amaretto&sbs_1=234382&sbs_2_search=NARS+Madly&sbs_2=111345
