Becca Moonstone is a very warm-toned, light gold with a luminous finish. It is a permanent highlighter that retails for $38.00 and contains 0.25 oz.

Editor's Review

Becca Moonstone Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed ($38.00 for 0.25 oz.) is a pale gold with strong, warm undertones and a luminous sheen. It had opaque color payoff in a single layer, which could easily be diffused for sheerer coverage by using a lighter hand or a more feathery brush.

The consistency was soft, a little dusty, but smooth and blendable on my skin. I still find the texture of the formula to seem a bit drier compared to the one years ago (like in 2013), though the actual color, application, and effect on my skin looks the same. It applied evenly and didn't emphasize my skin's natural texture. It wore well for eight and a half hours before fading a bit.

Why is this being reviewed you ask? Because I--stupidly--did not read through the product listing before purchasing and thought it was a NEW shade to celebrate the Year of the Rat, when in fact it is long-standing Moonstone in new clothing! ?

Good highlighter, very pigmented - I find it to be a bit powdery at times and I prefer a cream highlighter, but it is a good staple highlighter if you like champagne powder highlighters!

Quite desappointed with this one, in the way that you really must know how to apply it correctly to deliver its magic. I firest tried it many times at the end of ma make-up, jut like i would do with ANY of my highlighters, even the cheap ones. I was very dissapointed to see how powdery and unpigmented it was and it just wouldnt show up on my skin. But that was partially my mistake, because if you apply it BEFORE you pwder, it really gives you a flattering, blinding, elegant champagne glow. But don't apply it over a foundaiton that is very sticky, or it will bunge up and look bad. All in all, a very beautiful product if used properly, but too much work for this price!! The formula is definitely not up to par with Opal, which works so easily and is beautiful all the time.

Becca Moonstone highlight pressed is my Holy Grail Highlight. I have hourglass highlights, Mac, Nars, and nothing else compares. This is one thing in my collection that I bring on every trip, to work most days. When I apply one of my many other beautiful highlights I find myself thinking, this is nice, but it's no Becca Moonstone. I am have a very fair complexion, and something about this light color, with the slightest bit of gold and sheen, really helps my complexion, (sort of the way really fair people look nice in ivory or off white, instead of bright bright white clothes). I have so much stuff, I almost never hit pan on anything, but I've hit pan on this!

I LOVE Becca products! There is no glitter its just the most gorgeous highlight to hit the top of your cheek bones, cupid's bow, under the brow, or even as an eye shadow. Definitely worth the money!

This color is gorgeous! There is absolutely no glitter in this highlighter, which I really love. Glitter doesn't look good on the cheekbones. Although it is a bit expensive, it was well worth it. This is the highlighter that I've been looking for all along!
