I used to use the Becca Sheer Luminous Foundation (original version) and the Foundation Stick many years ago (back in the early 2000s when I was in college and the line was still at Nordstrom).

I am a 21-year-old college student, sorority woman, and future business professional with a love for fashion, beauty, communication, and bringing positivity into the lives of others. After 10 hours of wear (I work full time and what can I say but the media never sleeps), my skin was still glowing, a bit too much, but my face was still smooth. This primer is infused with crushed pearls, and besides making me feel like royalty that I’m applying pearls to my face, I really think it gives me a certain radiance. Even better if it takes five seconds to add it to my beauty routine so I can reap the benefits of it daily without it adding too many more steps to my morning.My dry skin will take any glow it can get, and if I can find a cheap product that performs the same as a high-end version, I will take it! It just seems to impart a healthy glowy evenness to my skin when applied lightly on its own, or under a very sheer foundation.

BECCA's priming filter gives a balanced surface for flawless foundation wear, leaving skin bright and beaming.It’s one of the “EU 26 fragrances” that has to be labelled separately (and cannot be simply included in the term “fragrance/perfume” on the label) because of allergen potential. 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 does smell nice but the problem is that it oxidizes on air exposure and the resulting stuff is not good for the skin.

Infused with three unique Filtering Luminescent Pearls, each one adds a different drop of diffused light.The ultimate first step in any make up ritual, consider this a photographic filter in a bottle (who needs Instagram? g. rosemary, eucalyptus, lavender, lemongrass, peppermint and it's the main component (about 50-90%) of the peel oil of citrus fruits. It can be a replacement for mineral oil and is often combined with other emollients to achieve different sensorial properties. I’m always in two minds about primers but this one does seem to have a bit more about it than many when it comes to perfecting your ‘canvas’.
