Regardless, given the amount of money you’d have to shell out for these babies, I was expecting that they’d perform at par with each other. It’s a solid white stuff that’s very alkaline and used in small amounts to adjust the pH of the product and make it just right. The shade itself is a sandy-golden colour; it doesn’t leave much of a tint when applied onto your skin, maybe unless you either have very, very fair skin or very dark skin. I did set my foundation with a light dusting of the MAC Mineralise Skinfinish Natural (MSFN) and went in with powder blusher, bronzer and highlight.

With the combo of some of my tried and true items for oily skin, my look on this day lasted about 10 hours before it started to fade, even with a lot of sweating and blotting. It didn’t control oil by any means (I was still reaching for the blotting papers at the 4-hour mark, as I usually do), but it kept my makeup on despite the oil.The Becca Backlight Primer a really nice, subtle sweet lemon scent that I love, although it does not last on the skin. I find it awkward and difficult to use although it’s not impossible and I can overlook it because the formula is that good. The Becca Backlight primer claims to contain three filtering luminescent pearls that are used to create a diffused radiance that catches the light and gives you a soft, glowy look. It has enough coverage suitable to even out the skin nicely and I didn’t have to pack it on to get the coverage I wanted. This is a lovely water-based primer that works beautifully with my foundation and didn’t settle in fine lines or cause any oil breakthrough.

I’ve been wearing it quite regularly for a month and a half now, and today I thought I would share my experience with you. After application and it absorbed into my skin, I instantly saw radiance to my skin, INSTANTLY like you use hot water over powdered, pre-mixed white sauce!I think Charlotte Tilbury pips Becca to the post on packaging; it just feels like a treat to use and looks very glamorous on my dressing table. I have been enjoying the Make Up For Ever Ultra HD Invisible Cover Stick Foundation*, which is pretty full coverage.
