Becca Lantana Mineral Blush
Becca Lantana Mineral BlushBecca Lantana Mineral Blush ($32.00 for 0.20 oz.) is described as an “ultra poppy crimson.” It’s a bold, brightened medium-dark orange with strong red tones and a golden satin sheen. MAC Fiery Impact (LE, $25.00) is lighter, more muted, warmer. Kevyn Aucoin Fira (P, ) is less shimmery, darker. NYX Cinnamon (P, $5.00) is less shimmery, lighter. theBalm Cobbler (P, ) is less shimmery, darker. ColourPop Squint (LE, $5.00) is less shimmery, lighter. Urban Decay Bang (P, $26.00) is less shimmery, lighter. See comparison swatches / compare dupes side-by-side.
If you love your blush ridiculously pigmented and true-to-pan, then this blush might be up your alley! On the other hand, if you were hoping for the buildable formula that Becca describes, you’ll find this to be much too intense. The pigmentation is rich where you don’t need much (the barest tap of the brush on the surface yielded plenty of noticeable color on my cheeks), and the saving grace is the formula remained quite blendable, which is really a must with such an opaque shade as this one. The more I blended it out, the less orange and more of a warm red it looked on my skin tone, but it may look redder or more orange depending on your coloring. The texture was firmer and less dry compared to the shimmery shades, but it wasn’t stiff. The color stayed put for almost nine hours before there was any color breakdown.
Formula Summary | Becca Mineral BlushBecca Mineral Blush ($32.00 for 0.20 oz.) is supposed to be a “delicate powder blush” with a “buildable formula” that gives a “natural-looking, flushed appearance.” They typically have a soft, creamy consistency that is a little denser than the average powder but not truly dense. Some of the very shimmery shades feel a little dry compared to the more pearly ones. I found the formula to be incredibly easy to apply and blend on the skin without any need for special tricks; they felt very grab-and-go, the kind of blush where there’s no fight to diffuse and soften edges or get even coverage. They are more pigmented than what I’d term as “buildable,” which some will appreciate, some will be disappointed by. The wear ranges from seven to nine hours with the brighter and more satin-to-matte shades lasting longer. My favorite part of the formula is the luminous sheen they give to the skin, so they don’t look too shimmery on the skin. I think if you find Becca’s pressed highlighters to be too shimmery, you may find their blushes more up your alley with respect to finish.

This one instantly reminded me of NARS Exhibit A. I quite like it. Very bright and fiery! 🙂
I can see some similarities! 🙂
Wow, this is intense but pretty! Should be great for darker skin tones and one pan should last a lifetime
It will rock on darker skin tones for sure!
Wow, that pigmentation rating seems kinda low
I think I mentioned it in the review, but Becca describes their formula as buildable — and this isn’t buildable, it’s full-on, true-to-pan pigmentation with very little product!
On the other hand, it would seem to me this was designed for deeper skintones, and therefore would allow more opportunity to build up color, as it does also state “natural flush of color”, and while those with fairer skin *can* wear it, obviously it won’t look like a “natural flush”.
I have brown skin – nc42 in winter up to about nc44 in summer. There is no way I will build anything with that- I have to use a very light touch. So I can see why it gets the lower rating compared to how it is described!
I am glad to see the high ratings in the other categories!
That is such an interesting color! So bright and pretty. Seems like it would require a light hand on me or I’d look like a clown.
Light hand and a fluffy brush, for sure!
I can’t believe how nicely pigmented that is. Wooooo! Can’t wait to try it myself.
Let me know how you like it!
Whoa!! thats way too much of pigmentation! Its definitely not a shade for everyone!
It is very intense!
Wowzers!!! That’s pretty! And really bright! Even though the swatch placed amongst its dupes appears more orange, on your cheeks it reminds me somewhat of ColourPop Jellyfish? Which, btw, is STILL sitting in my CP cart, waiting for Boba!
Kind of! Probably not quite as shimmery 🙂
I expected it to go on a lot more orange, it actually looks very wearble! But I prefer UD’s Bang as it was very buildable despite looking so fierce in the pan!
Bang is definitely easier to build up!
That looks really great on you. The MUFE foundation looks great too!
Thanks, Erin!
Hi Christine,
How do you rate pigmentation, because this blush has tons of it, but it got a 6.5. It is because it has too much? Lol Just curious. 😉
Everything is rated based on what the brand says it’s supposed to do, and Becca actually describes their blush formula as buildable coverage, so this is extremely intense (like one tap and it’s already opaque), which may be great for someone who likes their blush that way but isn’t in line with what the brand’s claims! 🙂
Gotcha! Thank you!
MissJae, I thought of you when I saw this. I think it would be stunning on you.
I couldn’t agree more!
Girl! This color is right up my alley.
A an NC50 girl, I can totally appreciate how pigmented this is. Such a lovely color 🙂
I wish Becca would just say they’re pigmented, LOL!
Wow, such pigmentation and intensity for that bright color should make “handle with care” mandatory on the compact, lol!
LOL!
That is gorgeous. I don’t know if I could ever use a light enough hand for it to work on me, but this would be so stunning on warm, dark skin.
It will be a great pick for darker skin tones! I wish Becca had noted that their newest blushes were really pigmented.
I immediately thought of NYX Cinnamon when I saw this in the compact…but swatched, Lantana leans more red.
Lantana definitely goes on more red than anticipated!
Would you pick this one or the Kevyn Aucoin Fira? Thanks
Tough! Maybe this one.
The swatch almost makes this look like a cream blush! I’m looking for a replacement “everyday blush” since NARS DC’d Douceur, and I’m liking the finishes on these. I definitely have to check them out next time I’m at Sephora (which is likely tomorrow, LOL!).
It is very, very rich! Let me know if you grab any, Amy!
Hmm this or UD bang? I have both in my cart right now , but since they are similar I don’t need and can’t justify having both. Hmm this is going to be a tough decision lol.
Did you end up deciding? 😀
Well, since technically I’m on a no-buy/low-buy , neither for now. But when I can buy makeup again, I think I am leaning towards Bang because it’s 6 dollars cheaper. 90 percent similarity is great to me lol.
