On my skin the Backlight doesn't really show color, but the golden one (I don't remember the name) does. Bottom line: Licorice is a great skincare ingredient with significant depigmenting, anti-inflammatory and even some antioxidant properties.

I love this foundation already but I think the BECCA Backlight Priming Filter delivered a more perfected look with a very natural looking boost in glow. It’s the first time I’ve heard of the L’Oreal Luminous Serum Tint though, so I’ll have to look it up. The trio is invaluable for "skin-colored" makeup products (think your foundation and pressed powder) as blending these three shades carefully can produce almost any shade of natural-looking flesh tones. 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.I think this would be great on fair skin since the light reflecting pearls are so light, but I think it would be just gorgeous on a deeper skin tone too. Blended together, they result in a first of its kind, lightweight, whipped fluid that creates a smooth canvas and acts as an instant filter.

Creators of the finest, skin-perfecting formulas, BECCA’s gorgeous Backlight Priming Filter is the secret to a gorgeous glow. According to famous dermatologist, Leslie Baumann while tocopheryl acetate is more stable and has a longer shelf life, it’s also more poorly absorbed by the skin and may not have the same awesome photoprotective effects as pure Vit E. For reference, my skin is moody but for the most part, I have combination skin, getting oily on my T- Zone and dry on the other parts of my face. It is a known fragrance allergen and as of 1st of March 2022, it has been banned in the EU due to animal studies showing a possible link to infertility (in rats - so no need to panic even if you used a product before with Butylphenyl Methylpropional).There is a L'Oreal one which is supposed to be good, Lumi Magic or something I think, but it has silicones in which break me out, so I haven't tried it. I have used this product after putting on my moisturizer, and have gotten a ton of compliments on my skin. This article comes from Saturday, the new print magazine from the Guardian which combines the best features, culture, lifestyle and travel writing in one beautiful package. Uniting a full-sized and travel-sized tube of the bestselling Backlight Priming Filter, this set is a savvy sk-investment – saving you money while granting a beautifully luminous look.

I have been enjoying the Make Up For Ever Ultra HD Invisible Cover Stick Foundation*, which is pretty full coverage. It goes on easily, and becomes slightly tacky before drying down to a velvet finish that isn’t powdery. Devastated today when trying to repurchase my Backlit Primer to find out that Becca Cosmetics went out of business last year. One thing that people may enjoy is that it doesn’t have the silicone feel that a lot of other primers have. I have hyperpigmentation issues and though it doesn’t hide anything, it makes my skin look so well cared for that those issues don’t seem so pressing.As a test, I asked my husband to squeeze a little bit of one of the primers onto my hand while I had my eyes closed, and then I opened my eyes and guessed which one it was. I don’t think it makes my foundation lasts any longer than usual with this primer underneath, but foundation does sit very nicely on top of it. Again similar to the Backlight, the First Light didn’t help keep my oils at bay, but it managed to keep my makeup in place. The Australian-born makeup brand was the first to promote a pared-back, natural and cool-girl aesthetic to women of all skin tones and ages, and its quality was outstanding.
