Becca Luminary (1) Light Shifter Dewing TintBecca Luminary (1) Light Shifter Dewing Tint ($ 30.00 for 1 oz.) Is a light beige with warmer, peach-colored undertones and a vibrant sheen. It had a sheer color payout that was as expected when used all over (as a tinted moisturizer) and a semi-sheer to medium coverage when I applied it as a standalone highlighter (dabbed on my cheekbones). I would agree that the color range is therefore more flexible than rigid.
The product had a light, creamier consistency that looked moister the first time it was applied. Most of it dried out, not sticky, but still looked like glassy skin with a very faint pearl. It was easy to apply and spread for the entire application or dab on cheekbones (over bare skin or over foundation) as a liquid / off-white highlighter as this didn’t lift my base products. It was worn as a tinted moisturizer for nine hours and a highlighter for eight and a half hours.

It is described as a “pure tinted moisturizer” so the shades are “flexible” while giving an “ultra-moist finish”. When I saw the promotional video and looked through the ingredients list, it was very reminiscent of other tinted bulb products that are often billed more as luminizers than tinted moisturizers. I initially bought the three shades that are closer to my skin tone in case they are actually more tinted moisturizers than Luminizers, but I would definitely say they are Tinted Luminizers.
The brand states it can be used on the “highlights” for “targeted radiance” or “all over the face for maximum moisture”. Carrying it everywhere gives you a very high gloss, shiny finish that is probably “too much” for some (certainly perfect for some). I think it’s cheap compared to other bulbs to be used as highlighter, mixed with moisturizer / primer, or used anywhere, like Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter (which has a thinner consistency and higher amount of pearls) or AURIC Glow Lust (which has a thick consistency, shiny rather than damp).
The consistency was like a light gel cream – not too runny, but not too thick or too heavy, so it spread lightly over the face for full coverage, but on the highlights of the foundation (over bare skin or on) could be tapped on top of the foundation) without a tendency to lift it up.
The cover was almost to half sheer when I tried applying it all over my face as it spread quite well, and I was able to achieve a half sheer buildable cover if I patted it on the highlights of my face with a fingertip. As expected, it was plain when mixed with basic products. However, it is most flexible when used mixed with something, and you should align yourself more closely with the undertone than just the depth for all of its use.
It was worn for eight to nine hours before it looked worn and faded when used on its own or as a standalone highlighter (on cheekbones, bare skin).
