Do any of you ladies use (pressed powder version)  Becca highlighter?  They had quite a bit of hype a few years ago, but I never actually purchased one.  I am on the hunt for a cruelty free, subtle highlighter that would work on very fair skin.  I was thinking either "pearl" or "moonstone" might be worth trying.

Thanks!!

If you decide on Becca, they are closing at the end of September.

I have fair skin and like both of those colors. I probably like pearl a little more but you can't go wrong with either. I'm bummed they are closing.

@Swedishmiss  Did you know they are going out of business in Sept.?  I am not sure on the date because i read about this a while back.  Maybe they are having a sale.

Yes, I saw Becca was going out of business  Smiley Sad

I happened to notice Ulta having the lighter shades on sale for half price, which made me think now would be a good time to grab one while I still can.  I had been using a MAC highlighter (hit pan a while ago), and want to replace it with a cruelty free product

@GenXmuse 

would you mind me asking why you prefer the "pearl" shade?  
I have very fair skin that leans slightly cool.  I am slightly oily, and so I steer clear of strong highlights.  Do you think the pearl might work better for me too?

Thanks!

Sure! My complexion is on the cool side too, (though I have combination skin) and I like that it doesn't look like I'm wearing highlighter just that my skin looks more luminescent and bright, so maybe pearl is your best choice. I need to get some backups since this is the only highlighter I've ever liked. They may even discount them at some point which would be awesome!
