Backlight Priming Filter

When I first put this on it was super shimmery and I was worried. I have oily skin...but it ended up looking good under my foundation.

Color is pearly champagne / pale rose gold with the finest of fine tiny shimmers that are almost indetectable. Even staring closeup with the best of eyesight you can barely see shimmers - the outcome is an elegant high end, pearlized almost metallic reflective finish. Its quite versatile. You can apply a heavier layer on the cheekbones ext as a liquid highlighter and it doesn't cake up or …Read more

This is my holy grail highlight! For reference, I have dry/dehydrated skin with hormonal acne around my chin and sebaceous filaments around my nose.

If you're looking for a luminous water-based primer but don't necessarily care about extending the wear time of your foundation, this product is fantastic. This primer is a neutral ivory/champagne color with a pearlized finish- …Read more

I would love to say I adore this primer, but its a tad to "pearly" for me. A little goes a long way, and I mix it with a hydrating primer for a more natural look.

Feels light in texture. Nice to use. This reminds me of a BB cream.I have combination skin & this ends up making my skin look too shiny and also the one size fits all colour didn't quite suit my complexion - think its better suited to people with cool undertones as it leaves a grey/silver finish

This is one of my favorite primers, it feels nice and moisturizing, smells nice, and works well, what more could you ask for?

I love it when my skin looks really pretty and glow-y, and this primer really does that for me. Makeup layered on top of this always looks really beautiful and luminous. I've only had it for five months and I'm dangerously close to needing to repurchase. This brings me to a con, it's expensive (almost everything from BECCA is), especially in New Zealand dollars. With the rate …Read more

I've tried all of Becca's primers, and I just can't get on the Backlight train. I think the golden tones disappear against my golden tan skin. It also surprisingly seems to make my skin duller (!) compared to not wearing it. At least it didn't break me out.

I like this primer. It's nice and moist, so it works well with my dry skin, and it's pretty versatile. A small amount on bare skin gives you a nice, healthy glow. I don't even fully depress the pump -- I use about half of a pump. Too much shine is too much shine, so I go easy. It works great under foundation, and sometimes I use it on top as a highlighter, or I mix it with …Read more

I had heard this was a dupe for Burberry Fresh Glow primer and $10 cheaper. I'm so glad I got a sample first. OMG...the perfume in this thing! It has a super strong, absolutely sickening, soapy scent that lingered on my skin all day long. I have mild rosacea and this triggered itching and flushing; my cheeks were red all night, even after removing this. And here's the kicker, I …Read more
