BECCA's Shimmering Skin Perfector in 'Champagne Pop' has been my go to since it debuted, but when I saw this lavender duo chrome I knew I had to get it. The pinky hue brings out the natural blush in your cheeks and adds a youthful glow, plus the pan is large so it lasts for months and months.

The multi-dimensional silvery purple hue is unlike anything else in our round-up, plus the lightweight formula makes it easy to apply to bare skin — just swipe, glow and go!

Pro Tips:
Sweep the shades against the tops of cheekbones, just under brows, down the length of your nose and dab above your cupid's bow to emphasize all of the areas where the sunlight hits your face naturally. If you want to maximize your glow, amp up the drama by dusting along your collarbone to emphasize your décolletage.
Looking for a more intense shimmer? Use a wet sponge or brush to apply and finish with a setting spray.
