I had no plans on purchasing the @BeccaCosmetics #BECCABFFs Malika face palette until I saw @thefancyface’s demo on YouTube. When I saw how Tina was able to get the “lit from within” look with the highlighter, I knew that this palette was just my style. And I do love love this palette. I tend to buy similar blush colors over and over again, but I was able to fill the gap in my collection with Make Me Blush and Yes Girl! I have fairly neutral feelings about the Kardashians and their posse, but I was somewhat annoyed at how light the Malika bronzer in this quad is. I don’t think it will show up on complexions deeper than a MAC NC45. According to Becca’s webpage, Malika wears their Ultimate Coverage Foundation in the shade Expresso. My shade in that foundation is Cafe mixed with Maple, which means that I am at least a full three shades lighter than Malika. It showed up in my skin beautifully, but I had to pack it on. There’s no way that Malika can wear that as a bronzer. Despite wearing sunscreen, I do have a tendency to tan during the summer months to about the same shade or just a tad bit deeper than @breezelouisse, who also did a review on this palette. The bronzer was nonexistent on her skin, so I probably won’t be able to use this palette during the summer months. To conclude, I did like this palette. But I wish that Becca formulated the palette for darker skin. More importantly. I wish that Malika, who actually has darker skin, actually fought for a deeper bronzer instead of just slapping her name on a package and collecting a check. —————————————————— Where the mirror meets the soul.
