When I bought this, it did not come with the sifter lid. But this is a staple in my eyeshadow collection. it is one of my favorites to use as a lid color teamed up with darker colors. Also I like using it on the brow bone. On me it looks like a champagne. I would not use this color by itself, on me it would be to light.

Love using this shimmer/glimmer over other eyeshadows or even by itself.

Like msaries, I use this when I dont want to think. Looks great as a wash by itself when im in a hurry, or as a highlighter. Makes me look more awake! Comes with a sifter, $13.

I have the big daddy pot of this, so I'll never have to repurchase, but I definitely would if I had to. This is a great, universally flattering shimmery taupe that can be worn dry and more subtle, or wet for more drama. My #1 go-to shadow on days when I just really don't want to think!

BE is offering only this glimmer in a larger size through their catalog with QVC, so I assumed that this was hot stuff and you could "wear it everyday" as they say. But it's so frosty and shiny that it makes me look like I have porn makeup or *gulp* drag makeup!! It works as a brow highlighter, but other colors work better as brow highlight such as Summer. I would not buy this again.

I love this glimmer. The color is lovely finish is soft. BUT I think the sparkles are a bit too big. I tend to get sparkles everywhere no matter how much I swirl it into my brush. I do love the color so much though and am thrilled to have found one in another brand that is exactly what I wish BE's was. I got a sample of Lauress Breathless and it is very similar in color and is sparkly and beautiful just like Nude Beach, but the sparkles seem smaller and don't end up all on my cheeks! So as much as I love Nude Beach, Breathless is going to be my upgrade!

I also have this in 1980s and although I rate this is better than 1980s I still would not recommend these eyeshadows. Maybe I chose two rubbish colours that donothing for me, but I find that these don't go on evenly. This colour is not bad as a highlighter but I'm sure there are much much better options. I don't like wastage so I blend this with blush sometimes. I will not buy these again though.

As with all BE products, I highly recommend transferring it to a smaller container for ease of use. As a color, it's a wonderful tawny shimmery shade that is great for highlighting and for mixing with other colors. A staple in anyone's BE eye color wardrobe.

Nude Beach is everything everybody says and more! I LOVE this Glimmer, and I see alot of use for this one! I think I may even like this more than my precious, Coco Pigment from MAC! Just wish I stumbled upon BE and Nude Beach sooner... :o)

It is gorgeous and probably universally flattering to MMM and fairer. I like it better than Stila Kitten except for the packaging.

I love this product. This is what I was hoping from Stila moonlight, starlight, and kitten shadows. Don't get me wrong, those are nice, but this one is "the one." I use it as an overall lid wash, putting extra on the browbone. Try wetting the brush for a slightly more shimmer effect. The lid of the product is perfect for mixing with water without affecting the rest of the product, which is the problem I have with Stila's shadows.
I bought this in the "pail of nude beach"...it is supersized. You can use it as an overall highlight, too, and I do sometimes use it on my cheekbones over blush or bronzer. It would be fun to use in the summer over a tan, or self tan.
This color will complement any color palette, warms or cools, which is why I love it because depending on the day, a 'warm' or 'cool' color face day, I know I will be using Nude Beach!

I normally don't wear Nude Beach alone except for when I want a sandy highlight. However, this is a color that I wouldn't want to live without and snatched up the large size that was sold on QVC. This is because I mix it with my different BE eyeshadows to make them more wearable or just to simply lighten it up. No matter what color it always works. Try it!

This is the brow highlight color that I have been looking for from the BE products. On me this color looks like shimmering champagne. This definetely will be a staple in my makeup kit.

I am surprised I like Nude Beach as much as I do. I'm an NC43 in MAC foundation (and very warm toned) and when I saw it (swapped for a sample) I thought, oh no, this frosty light pigment will never work. I finally tried it (grabbed it by mistake actually) as a brow highlight and it is perfect. Lovely paired with BE drama and BE Queen Tiffany. As long as you don't pack it on, not terribly frosty, just shimmery. It is quite nice.

I bought this color without seeing it beforehand, and in hindsight I wish I had not. However, nude beach is slowly growing on me. It looked very plain and nothing special, as well as somewhat frosty. I would describe it as a very shimmery beige/sand color, hence the name "nude beach". After experimenting, I think it looks best as a highlighter on the brow bone, but as a wash on the whole eye looks a bit too frosty. I suppose because I am pretty tan already. This shadow will last forever, so I do not see me repurchasing in the future.

This isn't a bad color or eyeshadow, but not great. I thought it would have a bit more color. It mostly just looks like shimmer on my lids and I find it does not go on evenly, I really ahve to blend well with my eyeshadow brush. I think there are prettier options out there.

I wish I could give this Glimmer a higher rating than 5 lippies, it deserves so much more than that! It appears on my lids as a shimmery extremely light beige that almost looks silvery with all of its gleaming shimmer. Its gorgeous as a browbone highlighter or all-over wash. Its also beautiful as a cheekbone highlighter. Its not frosty and not glittery at all, just a very fine shimmer that looks great no matter what look I want to acheive. I love this Glimmer and I will most definitely repurchase!

All of my BE products have the sifter lids, including the eyeshadows. I see a lot of reviews claiming otherwise. A regional marketing thing perhaps?? So, I'm not having those problems.

Product-wise, this color is beautiful! Not too shiny, just a sparkle that does make the eye pop. Really pretty and neutral.

I love this glimmer...I use just a touch in the middle of each eyelid over MAC bare canvas and it makes my blue eyes pop!! I am light-skinned (stila 20/30 watts, BE 1.2) and I think it suits my coloring. The container gets a thumbs down, I knocked it into the sink one day and lost the majority down the drain. Luckily just a smidge is all it takes...it seems to last forever as the sink incident was at least a couple months ago and I've still got some left. I've tried foiling with this and although I love the effect, I think it's a bit much for every day (fab for evenings out, special occasions, etc). I will definitely purchase this one again!

Although I am a huge BE fan, I am not loving Nude Beach. I am have a light olive, cool complextion and was expecting a sandy, nude color (like MAC Naked Pigment, which I have since purchased). Nude beach shows up on me, like a silvery, whitish lavendar, with grey undertones. Not natural looking at all, it is actually something I would wear for a dramatic evening look, if the color were more flattering on me. It also has a ton of shimmer on me, not a good shimmer, more of a frosty one. I cannot believe a color SO wildly popular, just does not work at all for me!
