Becca x Jaclyn Hill Champagne Pop Shimmering Skin Perfector Swatches + Review // Makeup Wars

September 28, 2015

Usually I’m the first one to fall for a majorly hyped up product. However when the Becca x Jaclyn Hill Champagne Pop Shimmering Skin Perfector® ($38.00 // Sephora) released I didn’t dive on it. After all, I have a lot of highlighters and how amazing could this one be? Some time passed and more hype ensued. I broke down and ordered it online – never once seeing it in person or swatching it myself. My experience with testing it makes it the perfect choice for a feature in this weeks Makeup Wars post which is focused on “Things That Surprised Me” – in a good way, or a bad way.

Becca Jaclyn Hill Champagne Pop Highlighter review

The box itself is stunning. A flashy rose gold mirrored box with silver wording.

The casing of the Skin Perfector is the usual packaging that we see in compact products from Becca – round, black plastic with a silvered metal topper and Becca embossed around it.

As you open the compact there is a full mirror on the top side and 0.28oz worth of product on the bottom side.

Becca Jaclyn Hill ChampagneBecca Jaclyn Hill Champagne Highlighter review

Champagne Pop is described as a soft white gold w/ pinky peach undertones. As you can tell in the swatch below this highlighter is heavily pigmented but blends out so subtly it’s almost non-existent without the help of a light source.

Why is this product something that surprised me? Because when I first put it on I hated it. It looked like nothing on me. Like it did nothing. I was actually angry with myself not-so-much for spending the money on it but for believing all of the hype surrounding it. Frustrated I stomped into my makeup room to take a photo of the product on me, intent on doing what was likely the first negative review of it. When I sat down and loaded the photos up on my computer I stopped. What was that glow?! The highlight looked incredible in photos. Grabbing a mirror I ran outside and looked at myself in direct light. Luminous. This skin perfector/highlighter/whatever is fabulous at all of the right moments. Perfect in all of the right places. It’s a must have… Basically, if you’re going to strobe, strobe with this.

Below Champagne Pop is swatched heavily on the left and blended out on the right:

In the look below I used Champagne Pop at the tops of my cheeks and down the bridge of my nose. Please do yourself a favor and buy this.

The Becca x Jaclyn Hill Champagne Pop Shimmering Skin Perfector retails for $38.00 and is available at Sephora. This product is currently listed as limited edition.

    I did the same thing – ordered it online, sight unseen. On me, though, it’s very pigmented. I have to apply it with my fingers and blend it out so that I don’t look like I’m plugged into a light socket. lol.

      It’s definitely best to use a brush that isn’t dense at all, something like the ELF Studio Fan Brush and just tap lightly with it https://www.eyeslipsface.com/studio/tools/single-brushes/studio_fan_brush. I use my finger to dab lightly into the powder then lightly onto the cupids bow and other smaller areas.

    I bought the Becca rose gold skin perfector a few months ago and proceeded to lose it. As much as I love rose gold, it was actually too dark for me. This would be a better shade for my light skin, so I need it, right?

    […] Becca x Jaclyn Hill Champagne Pop Shimmering Skin Perfector ($38.00 // Sephora). OF COURSE I mention this first because I use it nearly every time I do my makeup. The only time I don’t pick this one up is if I’m testing something else or just not doing my makeup that day. I always go back to it! It used to be limited edition BUT Becca is so awesome (and smart because it definitely makes them the $$$) and brought it back permanently! The palette shown that contains Champagne Pop WAS Limited Edition but it’s pretty and I do love to mix Champagne Pop with Pearl (far left) for evening (see more on that palette here). Also, that trio makes one heck of a gorgeous eye look! Original review. […]
