5 Must Have Products from Becca Cosmetics


btyguide


Becca Cosmetics is one of the most underrated beauty brands in the makeup industry. This Australian brand has more products than many other lines, and the quality is impeccable.  The focus is always beautiful, pleasant makeup. The brand is becoming more and more exclusive, only being carried at a handful of locations.  Here are the top 5 products from the brand.

1. Stick Foundation
If you are looking for the most natural, undetectable coverage, here’s the perfect foundation stick for you to try. One of the main reasons I fell head over heels for this company years ago was because the vast range of foundation shade options. As a Woman of Color, we often have more than one color on our faces. Becca is the first brand that offered enough shades that we may accurately do our makeup. Please note that Becca was not created by an Black woman, and includes even more shades for women who aren’t Black. The company got it right! No matter how dark or light you are, Becca has your color!

2. Creamy Concealer
Such a genius idea. This luxe blend concealer offers options. On one side, you’ve got a super light, medium coverage formula. On the other side, there is a full coverage version to tackle more blemishes.  While using the product on a friend,  I used a round contour brush to swirl the colors around in the pot, then applied in circular motions to her problem areas.  We were left with gorgeous, glowy skin with no hint of blemishes!

3. Cream Blush
Becca is the one stop shop for cream blush, as far as I’m concerned. The colors aren’t thick and goopy like many brands. A little goes a very long way, so build on the color instead of applying a lot at once. While wearing a dewy or satin skin look, cream blush give you the look of blushing from within. My favorite shades are Hyacinth for a springy, youthful cheek, Dahlilah for a natural tawny look, or Lotus for a deeper berry cheek.

4. Eye Shadow
I’m in love with shadows that look and feel luxurious. Becca Cosmetics creates just that. They’ve got a selection that is not only frosty, but also with matte and satin finishes. You’re sure to find love at first finger swipe! Next on my list, Venise, pictured above. I’ve had my eye on it since last May!

5. Makeup Palettes
Another standout item from the brand! Try five of the brands items in one convenient package. I’m dying to get the Aurora palette.  This particular palette includes a powder and creme eye shadow, eye liner, creme blush and a nude lip gloss.  How divine is that??
If these shades aren’t for you, or you’d like a sample of their top sellers, check out the Best of Becca Palette. The combination of shadows, creames and glosses is sure to keep you a Becca Fan forever!

    Hi :)
    Is there anyway you could compare the Becca Shades to the Mac ones you use? I don’t really understand the chart :(
    If I am NC45 or NW45, which foundation colors should I be looking at?

    I swear you are my makeup pusher. Every time you review something I just have to have it. I’ve been meaning to try Becca for over a year now all because of you. As soon as I do, I’ll be sure to review it.

    I used Becca’s concealer a while back. I don’t use it anymore because I got it when it was on sale at Sephora when they were closing out their stock there. I mistakenly picked up the wrong color because I was in a hurry to get whatever was left at a price I could afford.

    That brings me to the problem I have with Becca. One of the reasons the brand may be becoming more exclusive is because of the price. I assume the high price point and the costs of returning and exchanging products (which most stores allow and I don’t have a problem with) is hitting them hard. The stores carrying them now are likely to not have as liberal return/exchange policies as other stores.

    Perhaps if they lowered their prices or created a more mass line this wouldn’t be a problem. Unfortunately, I don’t see it surviving today’s economy priced as it is.

    @Naijamodel I own Treacie, which I would say is a NC50. I will play around with it the next time I see it all, and let you know.

    Thought long and hard as to whether to go for MAC or Becca. Already had MAC Select Cover-Up which was only £12.50. Bought Becca Compact Concealer in Fudge for £30 and Luminous Skin Colour for £33.
    @Mavis – When you think about it – both products will last 15 – 18 months, maybe more. Thats £1.66-£2 per month for the concealer / £1.83-£2.20. One Starbucks coffee costs more than that! Its nothing!
    In Central London I had a consultation in-store as as I wanted concealer. In the store with absolutely no pressure to buy that or anything else. Got a free Glossy Lip Tint (worth £18!) Had all of their products on all day on a hot-ish day for London @ 27c and it was still there until I washed it all off.
    My dark circles banished with the concealer, and my skin glowed with the Luminous Skin Colour and Creme Blush. All of my freckles still showed through (which i liked/ wanted). It looked natural but only I knew my skin had help :-)
    Used MAC Lipglasses for years. Quite impressed with Becca Lip Tint. Tried Bellini – Looks really peachy with glimmer. Very subtle shade on the lips. Does not give full lip colour like MAC, but leaves a gentle shiny glimmer of colour – no stickiness / no lip marks on cups/glasses = I’m well impressed! Like Lipglass with a hint of colour, but without the stickiness.
