For summer, Becca has launched a six-shade line-up of blushes designed to have “just the right balance of color and light” that can be worn alone or “as a blush topper.” It seems like it’s somewhere between sheerer like a highlighter and more pigmented like a blush (hence why it can also be layered), which is the best I can surmise from their marketing (there’s a lot of use of subtle as well, which at least indicates, to me, that they’re not saying it’s ultra pigmented)–I definitely wish it was clearer, though. I noticed that layering is best with a very, very light hand and a feathery brush or else the original blush can get overshadowed, as the formula runs semi-opaque. Much like the Shimmering Skin Perfectors, a little can go a long way. Tigerlily had semi-opaque, buildable color coverage with a frosted shimmer-sheen finish. Applied and blended out, the result is softly glowing without being too glittery, but it has a moderate sheen. It didn’t emphasize pores for me, though. The texture was soft, lightly loose in the pan, and fairly dense. The color lasted for eight and a half hours before fading.

P.S. — I only have two of the six shades right now, as the other four are still coming soon/sold out at Sephora. They are available through Becca’s website as well.

Yesss I was hoping you would review these in time for the Sephora sale! ? Did you find that it was shimmery throughout? I read on another blog that there was a heavy layer of shimmer on top (like an overspray), but it was more of a satin underneath.

Christine Avatar

Seems more like “crushed pearl” than an overspray to me (didn’t feel or look like one, and my compacts look about the same, just smoother since the initial pan shows the hatching) – it’s a very pearly shimmer that becomes less obvious when buffed in. The finish varies from shade to shade – like Blushed Copper is more metallic from what I remember (it was released before), while Tigerlily isn’t quite as noticeably frosted/metallic when blended out. There is noticeable shimmer, though. Satin (to me) is something that has almost no detectable shimmer and just has a subtle sheen, so this seems more than that to me!

Raeanne Avatar

Just WHY do they claim that it’s a blush topper? Are you kidding me? These have to be applied ever so lightly because the payoff is strong as demonstrated by your swatches and full-face photo. I love this blush, Tangerine, and Blushed Copper is one of my HG blushes. I just can’t imagine a world where any of these are considered toppers. LOL.

Oooh, this is pretty! I love Becca blushes! I have enough orange blushes in my stash (including Becca Damselfly), so will skip. But I’m eyeing Snapdragon and Orchid

Nicole Avatar

I’ve been eyeing this one particularly. You’ve confirmed that it is indeed gorgeous. Idk if i can resist this with a 15% discount on top of it. Ugh, I spent more than I planned already anyway..what the heck?! lol

Anne Avatar

How would you compare Becca Tigerlily versus Becca Songbird mineral blush by formula, color, and finish? I have both of them and they seem very similar to me. I’m not sure if I need both… Which do you like better in your opinion Christine?

Mariella Avatar

I’m eager to try this blush in one of the cooler shades – Dahlia, Foxglove or Camellia – and might even venture into Snapdragon (though this is pricey blush so I don’t know that I’d want to experiment) but this colour is just way too orange for my colouring.

Fran Avatar

Thanks for this, Christine! It looks so pretty on you that I decided to go ahead and try Foxglove during Sephora’s 15% off sale, even though you haven’t reviewed that shade yet — I thought the Mineral Blush in Hyacinth was going to be too intense for me, and this formula, while still intense, looks less so than the Mineral Blush. I like my Pearl Pressed highlighter, but do have to be careful to use a light hand with it, so I can do the same with this 🙂

Hi Christine
can you tell me if it looks like the blush orange 44 korres? I search this one desperately,
thank you and take care

Keylah Avatar

Thank you Christine, I continue my research in this case:) if you-have idea for a blush That Could be like him, thank you again you are adorable

I don’t have any peach blushes. I’m debating to buy tigerlily or Nars Taj Mahal or TF Lovelust or TF Flush, do you have any recommendations on coral, peach blush which suit every eyelook and show up on olive tan skin tone and has abit of sheen? For reference my skin tone is MAC NC42. Thank you so much if you could help. There is no Sephora in my country. :'(
