As many of you may know, Jaclyn Hill worked with Becca cosmetics last year to create her perfect highlight shade, Champagne Pop. Just for a little background, Jaclyn Hill is a Youtuber who mainly makes makeup tutorial videos. Over the years she has gathered millions of subscribers. So it was a HUGE deal that a youtuber got to work with a major makeup brand. Although I don’t have my own channel, I’m an avid Youtube watcher myself. Becca is known for their simple, yet sleek packaging and that’s one thing I love about them. At $38, it might be a little expensive for someone who is just starting getting into makeup. But personally, I think it is 100% worth the cost. If you don’t want to go out and just cough up $38…totally understandable. Rose Champagne Pop by Wet n Wild is an amazing dupe. This brand was created by Fergie and can be found in stores at Walmart and Target for about $6. One thing I’ve noticed is that most of the people I’ve seen using Champagne Pop happen to be White. So is Champagne Pop a women of color friendly highlighter?
In my opinion, YES! I’ve owned Champagne Pop for about two months now and I absolutely love it. It is my go to highlight and I find myself reaching for it almost everyday. It’s the perfect combination of shimmer and glitter so that you could use it as a subtle everyday highlight, or build it up for a dramatic look. One concern some people have is that it may make them look ashy. I personally have never had that problem. For reference, my skin color is NW45 according to MAC foundation. I’ve also swatched the highlighter on my arm, one is a pigmented swatch and the other is blended out.
For anyone who’s interested in purchasing, Becca just made this product a permanent item! You can find it at your local Sephora or Ulta, or online.
