Hello everyone,
I am back with a review of a blush from Becca cosmetics. I had been eyeing their luminous blushes (Tigerlily, Snapdragon, Songbird) for quite a while, but finally, I decided to dig a hole in my pocket and buy one of these little babies. These luminous blushes have been out in the market for some time now and have been raved about a lot. These blushes have just the right amount of radiance to give you that ethereal glow. After careful consideration, I narrowed down to two shades which stood out the most to me for my NC 42 skin tone. Those were “Snapdragon (coral)” and “Foxglove (orchid)”. To be sure, I walked into the local Sephora store to try out each of these shades to see how they would actually look on me. Finally, I settled for Foxglove. So, let’s get started with the review.
Product Description:
A curated, colorful collection of six lustrous blushes to let cheeks glow with light. Becca’s Shimmering Skin Perfector Luminous Blush features multi-dimensional, versatile blushes to create a subtle, shimmering flush. Specially designed to flatter all skin tones, this collection is inspired by the fan favorite Shimmering Skin Perfector—just the right balance of color and light. Wear them alone for subtle blushed luminosity, or as a blush topper layered on top of your favorite matte blush for an added pop of radiance.

My Experience with Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector Luminous Blush Foxglove:
Packaging: This blush comes in a typical packaging as all other Becca blushes and skin perfector highlighters, but the size of the compact itself is smaller than the actual skin perfectors. It has a rubberized outer case with a metallic top and the brand name embossed on it. The outer packaging is sturdy and looks classy. It has a good size mirror as well which always comes in handy.
Shade: This particular shade, “Foxglove”, is described as an orchid color. It has slightly blue and lilac undertones which might look a little overwhelming at first but works wonders. It provides the most natural flush of color on my NC42 skin. Because of the smooth texture and radiance, it would never give me “clown cheeks.” I just love the way it provides an iridescent glow to my skin. I can easily skip a highlighter when wearing this blush alone. It never accentuates my already large pores and doesn’t cling on to dry patches on my skin. It stays on for a good 7-8 hours on my oily skin, but very deep/tan skin tones have to be careful while using it as it might appear a little ashy.
Texture and Pigmentation: As the product claims, it has a very satiny finish and very buttery texture. The shimmer might look a little intimidating at first but it is not at all chunky. It is super blendable and gives a very nice finish in one or two swipes. It can be easily layered on without looking patchy or gritty.
Pros of Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector Luminous Blush Foxglove:
- Beautiful orchid pinkish shade.
- Provides the right amount of glow without looking over the top.
- Very smooth buttery texture.
- Opaque coverage in two swipes.
- Super blendable and easy to use.
- Lasting power is commendable.
- Very travel-friendly packaging.
- Does not accentuate pores.
Cons of Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector Luminous Blush Foxglove:
- This shade would not work on deeper skin tones.
- A little expensive.
IMBB Rating:
4.9/5. This blush justifies its price tag by being a blush and highlighter in one. The shade range is good and stands true to all its claims. They have amazing pigmentation and would look flattering on different skin tones and skin types.
