I’ve been experimenting with a few recent Becca releases lately and was inspired to harness their lit-from-within potential to create a 10 product look that captures the joie de vivre of springtime.
Kindly scroll on for more details, swatches and images reflecting the final look as well as the Bottom Line…

Here are is the Becca Breakdown:
- *Becca First Light Priming Filter (also available at Beautylish): This lilac-hued formula banishes post-winter dullness while adding a soothing and calming glow to the complexion.
- *Becca Shimmering Liquid Skin Perfector in Prosecco Pop: Richly appropriated with a golden tan gleam, this liquid can be applied atop foundation or mixed into a base to enhance radiance.
- *Becca Backlight Priming Filter (also available at Beautylish): A pearly beige wonder, this primer smooths skin on contact while micronized light particles create a soft focus effect that is undeniably flattering.
- *Becca Under Eye Brightening Corrector (also available at Beautylish): The apricot-toned cream counteracts adeptly counteracts under eye shadows while remaining marvelously inconspicuous. The stellar reviews on this–both on Sephora and Beautylish’s sites–speak for themselves.
- *Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector in Champagne Pop (previously reviewed HERE): This powder imparts a sublime glow for the warmer months…deeper than Opal but not quite tan in nature, it is sure to warm up and flatter a spectrum of skin tones.
- Becca Soft Blurring Powder (also available at Beautylish): Finely-milled and practically translucent, this powder deftly minimizes the look of fine lines while mitigating shine. The tender illumination that emanates is a bonus!

I combined a few of the above Becca product with a round of key beauty favorites (bringing my total list to 10) to create a carefree peachy springtime look that is minimalist in time and effort yet maximum in impact.
They included:
- *Giorgio Armani Power Fabric #6 (reviewed HERE): Medium to full coverage with a velvety natural finish.
- *La Prairie Cellular Radiance Cream Blush in Peach Glow (reviewed HERE): Blended onto the cheeks, it’s the quintessential balance of color and illumination.
- Burberry Liquid Lip Velvet in Peach (reviewed HERE): An homage to the early 1960’s, this creamy hue possesses a joyful brightness that harkens to simpler times.
- Clé de Peau Beauté Eye Color Quad in #313 Golden Lace (also available at CdPB): Delicate warm neutrals work together to create an incandescent eye.

- Clé de Peau Beauté Eye Color Quad in #313 Golden Lace (also available at CdPB) all four shades blended to my brow bone.

- Equipment France Slim Signature Blouse **similar shade currently on sale!

Bottom Line: I hope you enjoyed this streamlined FOTD; I, for one, love demonstrating that a full look needn’t require 20+ products (although, admittedly, there is sometimes fun in the excess)!
What are some of your current go-to’s for a minimalist face? Do tell!
Speaking of minimalist…I just purchased the ultimate in nude footwear by Jeffrey Campbell. I saw these shoes on a woman last week and couldn’t forget about them…the clear straps and Lucite heel are so unique and will match absolutely everything. They seem to be selling out fast (my size 7 is already out of stock); I’ll have them featured in an upcoming post very soon ; )
Good things ahead, including a travel essentials post, an overview of the soon-to-launch Hourglass Ambient Strobe Blushes, a fresh video and a host of new product procurements…
xx and have a beautiful weekend,
