Backlight Priming Filter | BECCA

Muda

Natural glow

I use this alone and always get complimented by people that I'm glowing. Gives a really nice natural glow & makes my skin stone luminous.

Olesya

A nice one, but wouldn't repurchase

I used my bottle up and really enjoyed using this primer, even on my no-make-up days. That being said, it's not IT for me. I liked the texture, the smell, the overall feel, it's very luxurious and it gave my skin a lovely glow. Once I finished it though, I didn't feel the need to repurchase it and have it in my life at all times. Worth a try though, I would recommend to try it at least once. Skin: dry, sensitive, dull (25 y.o.)

lauren

Amazing

I’ve gone through about 3 bottles and it’s honestly one of my favourite primers, it leaves you glowy and smells amazing!

Maggie

Fabulous product

I use this product every day. Can be used alone or under foundation. Makes my skin look healthy and glowing. I would not be without it and always make sure I have a new one ready. Love it.

Ann

Love It!

I have dry, sensitive skin and I was looking for something illuminating without being over the top shimmery. The smell is very pleasant but I was worried it might irritate my skin. I'm happy to report that after 1 month of use I haven't had any irritation at all and the primer really gives a lovely illuminating and smoothing effect. It looks wonderful under foundation and I love mixing it with my BB cream for days when I want less coverage and a little more glow. Overall, very happy with this primer and I would definitely recommend.

gemma

amazing!

This product is so amazing. Literally makes my skin so glowy, even after putting on a full coverage foundation over the top!

Lucy

Love, Love, Love!

This product gives your skin such a healthy, dewy, glow, so much so that I often like applying it without any make-up on top. It is also really moisturising. I’m not sure it’s that great as a primer for making your make-up last longer though, especially as effective primers would have more of a silicone sticky feel, which this does not.

Ali

Love this!

Love this worn alone or with foundation to give my skin a youthful luminosity. Fabulous!

Ellie

Amazing!

Honestly, I can't live without this primer! I use it every day. It's so beautiful and smells great!

Suzanne

Amazing!

I love this primer so much! I have tried dozens of different primers but this one is my favourite and I will definitely buy more when I run out! It makes my skin so glowy and beautiful. It smells good and my makeup stays fresh for hours.

Poppy

Ace

Just love this product... Can’t live without it!

Farah

Amazing

Love this primer! Feels amazing and gives you a nice glow with or without make up. On my second bottle

Meg

Amazing primer!!

I bought this after hearing about it on a podcast by Lisa Potter Dixon and Hannah Martin. They were so right it’s amazing. It gives a lovely glow that you can use under foundation or just wear it on its own. Will definitely repurchase.

Onvie

Take or leave

This is a product I could take or leave. I don’t think I’d buy it again but I don’t think it’s a bad product either. It doesn’t help with the longevity of bases but it does offer a really, really subtle glow over bases and a bit of a lift under them. I prefer subtle so for me, that a plus.

CocoCC

Wow...The Glow up!

I have had this primer a few days and I loved it from the second I tried it. I don't think I really ever liked any primer I used before (From Smashbox to L'oreal) but this makes a real difference to how my foundation looks and gives a natural radiance like nothing else. It really does what it says!! Also, I generally don't love perfumed products but not offended by the smell of this, it's quite lovely. I bought the smaller tube to try and will definitely be purchasing the bigger size. Fabulous!

Joe

Pretty

It's a really good primer, foundation goes on great, without dry patches. Unfortunately, I can't use it on it's own, because it emphasises my pores. It has a nice glow.

Izzi

Perfect

Makes me look so healthy and glowy without looking or feeling oily.

Helen

Perfect

Very delicate blur.

Silje

Best primer

Best primer I have ever tried. Please never ever ever stop making it.

Ana

Wow

This looks lovely on a bare face! It has a nice smell

CJ

Shiny

When applied on its own the look is similar to Charlotte Tilbury's Hollywood Flawless Filter, a look, similar to spraying your face with clear wood varnish. Too shiny for me. But when applied under foundation, it's lovely stuff. It's lightweight and fab to apply, it smells delicious and gives a hint of a glow. It really is a lovely base for foundation. I'm not sure it makes my look last any longer, but it does get the best out of my foundation. Defo worth trying.

Denise

Brilliant

Try this if you want to look ethereal and lit-from-within. Love that it gives my skin a subtle glow yet it doesn't feel tacky or greasy at all - I live in hot and humid Singapore and my makeup stays. Also, great on my sensitive, combination, dehydrated, easily congested acne-prone skin for the backlight priming filter doesn't cause any annoying clogs or irritation. I have the worst skin conditions, oh lord. Give this a try already.

ibrahim

Love it

This product is magnificent. I have fallen in love with it it makes me feel so glowy. I'm in love.

Hana

Amazinggg primer

I tried this as soon as I got it in the email from Cult! A small amount goes a long way. It gives me such a beautiful dewy glowy base. Beautiful packaging.

LGR

I’m in love ❤️

What’s not to love!

Cbt

The best!

My absolute holy grail! Been using Becca shimmering skin perfector and this for years. I have dry skin so I find it hydrates it before my makeup application, would 100% recommend and lasts ages!

SKoroleva

AAAAAdore it!

ONE of my favorite products to prepare the skin for makeup. Adore it! I used 9 bottles.

Laura

Buy it!

This is my favourite product ever! I have extremely sensitive skin so I need to be careful with what I put on it as my skin will blister, but I didn’t react with this at all. It gives me a really healthy glow on its own and under make up. My make up went really well over it and I just can’t recommend it enough!

Jess

It's all true

I just received this primer today and my goodness it really does live up to expectations! Gave my combination skin a light glow and held makeup well, no creases in the eye area and felt very fresh. This is definitely a winner.

Jenny

Rosacea-like reaction everytime I've used it, contains fragrance

I'm very sorry I'm unable to use Becca's Backlight Priming Filter. The product texture, colour and lovely bottle are all gorgeous. I tried to wear it for the last time recently. It looked wonderful all day. I cleansed as usual and thought I was fine. Upon waking in the morning, my face was an angry, reactive red. Greater skin sensitivities and reactions have become more frequent for me as I've aged. I don't like leaving a poor review for a Becca product, the line is gorgeous and I use other products successfully. Please be aware though the fragrance is pleasant and near the end of the list of ingredients, it has the potential to cause problems for those with sensitive skin.

Alec

LOVE IT

Best primer I’ve tried so far, absolutely beautiful, definitely worth the price.

Iselin

Yey

I really liked this product. It gave a healthy look. Would recommend

Julia

Love!

I have oily skin. In comparison to First Light, Backlight worked better. The glow and the shine were softer and more natural. It kept my skin balanced and less oily. My foundation went perfectly over it and lasted longer than usual. Didn't make me greasy. It smells very nice, like lemons.

Jandanjan

Lovely product

More expensive than my usual urban decay primer but very nice product and would buy it again

Coco

Love it

So good for dry skin. My foundation doesn't stick to any dry patches when I use this and gives my base and overall natural glow. Worn it on a few nights out and never had any problems with my makeup not staying on. Packaging is lovely as well.

Christine

Great

I am a great fan of BECCA products and I have read many good reviews about this primer. First of all it smells amazing, it didn't break me out which usually happens after using a new product for the first time. I have only been using it for several days and I am already in love with it! It gives me a naturally lit from within look by itself not or under a foundation (I am using their Aqua Luminous Foundation) and it looks amazing overall. It will not minimise / hide your pores so stay away from it if it's something you're looking for. 4 stars because I have very dry skin and I was hoping it help plump my skin but it did not and actually emphasises my flaky patches, I still love it though.

KAW

This Product Made Me Believe In God

Girl. Let me tell you. This primer is a real life miracle. Honestly, I didn't even measure how well it kept my make-up on because I was too busy marvelling over the fact it made my oily, reddish and blemish-prone skin look like an ethereal moon fairy. I've never raved about a product like this before but imma give this a 110 out of five.

Imogen

Natural, Glowing!

Tried so many primers including the famous smash box, benefit, Nars etc... This one is my new fave!! Blends easily, smells amazing and looks fab under foundation for a natural glow (not glittery or oily). It's not the best one I've tried for staying super perfect all day long like those heavier matte primers but I much prefer the glowing look and it's easily touched-up with a clear powder if needed. Would highly recommend for priming and mixing with foundation!

Beatrizl10

Justo lo que esperaba - Just what I expected

Estaba cansada de comprar primers para el rostro supuestamente iluminadores que luego no funcionan hasta que esta maravilla llegó a mi vida. Proporciona una luminosidad muy bonita a la piel y prolonga la duración del maquillaje. Un producto de diez. ENGLISH: I was tired of buying primers that say they work as face illuminators but DON'T until this wonder came into my life. It provides a very nice brightness to the skin and prolongs the life of my makeup look. Ten out of ten.

Beatriz

Cumple lo que promete

Me encanta este primer. Realmente prolonga la duración del maquillaje a la vez que deja la piel con una luminosidad muy natural, ayudando a disimular ligeramente algunas imperfecciones. En mi piel mixta deshidratada no produce brillos a lo largo del día. Tiene un dosificador con pump que me parece muy cómodo. English - I love this most. It really prolongs makeup, while leaving the skin with a very natural illumination, helping to slightly hide some of my imperfections. For my dehydrated combination skin it produces brightness all through the day. It has a good pump dispenser with which I find very convenient.

Emma

Beautiful

This leaves a beautiful subtle sheen on my skin and makes my foundation look even better. I have only had this for a few days and already had some lovely compliments. I also purchased the Becca highlighter and so far I am really impressed with this brand. I am also very impressed with Cult Beauty's speedy delivery... :o)

Alasse

Good skin day in a bottle

I got a sample in the blushed radiance set. I have combination skin and was petrified to try this out. I shouldn't have been, on its own its really scary, but with mineral foundation on top - BEAUTIFUL - I find my skin is radiant without being greasy and I don't get 'oilier' than usual. I blot throughout the day but that's business as usual. Yeah, had to order the full size :)

Jess

Careful

I don't wear a lot of foundation so I am careful not to apply too much of this primer as to make my face look oily instead of healthy and glowing.

Jen

Good!

I love it under foundation, especially under full coverage foundation so it doesn't look that heavy :).

AW

Love!

Looks beautiful under foundation! My fave!

Ay

Disappointed :(

I brought this primer after reading all the great reviews about this product and I decided to buy it. It has a really lovely bottle made out of glass and nice pump which pumps out enough. The primer feels more like a moisturiser and when I rubbed it just looks patchy and horrible, there is bits of this primer flaking off my face and that's using it on its own. If I applied foundation on top it would look cakey. I’m very disappointed about this as I was really excited and expecting something great as I have the Becca highlighter in Champagne Pop and that is lovely...

Natalja

The best

I love this primer so much! Already ordered many times. Can be applied either base or separately. Very nice glow!!!

Clare

Lovely glow

Really pleased with this primer. It gives a lovely glow when worn on its own or under my foundation (I only use a light, more natural coverage foundation). It is quite expensive but does seem to last so would definitely recommend others to give it a try.

maggies

The best

I use this every day and always make sure I order more before running out. It's absolutely fantastic, used either with or without foundation.

Argibb

Great glowy primer

No matter your skin type, this product primes and gives a wonderful glow, preparing your skin for makeup. Totally a must have!

Johanna

Loving this primer

This gives a really beautiful glow and removes all the signs of tiredness from the skin. This and Becca under eye brightening corrector are an important part of my make up bag.

lasilvia74

Bellissimo ***Very beautiful

Primer che assicura alla pelle un bellissimo ed elegante glow senza risultare pesante o appiccicoso. Non enfatizza rughe, pori, grana della pelle. Prima del fondotinta o miscelato insieme. Anche per over 40. ***Primer that gives the skin a beautiful and elegant glow without being heavy or sticky. It does not emphasize wrinkles, pores or skin texture. Can be used before foundation or mixed together. Also good for over 40.

Ann

Becca backlight filter.

This product has a really nice consistency and goes on really smoothly, it makes your skin look really glowy with a very dewy sheen!

Iva

On my fourth Bottle

I am a professional makeup artist and I put this primer on everybody. Not heavy but gives a beautiful glow.

Zan

Love it!

I bought this a month ago and so far I love it! It’s not heavy on the skin it’s just perfect. I have dry skin and I wanted something that will give me glow and let me tell you this is perfect for that natural glow! It’s not too shimmery, I usually use a concealer and don’t wear foundation and then again it just gives such a vibrant look to the skin!

rachel rose

There is no primer like it!

Despite trying lots of other primers- this is my go-to glow primer. So hydrating but shows underneath foundation.

Jo

Great

I seldom wear foundation with this. It gives a very light coverage anyway!

Maggie

Fantastic Primer

I would not be without this product. I absolutely love it. Makes your skin look and feel fabulous. Can be used alone or with foundation. A winner.

Tee

I love it but...

So I do really enjoy this product it took me a while to figure out how it would work for my skin and which way to best apply it. I have oily/combo skin, so I avoid putting it on my t-zone and to reserve it just for the other high points of my face. It had a lovely smell and texture however it sometimes does not blend in very well and you really have to press it in so I wouldn't know how this would look under foundation. But I do like it and I would continue buying it. My first bottle actually broke in my suitcase :( the cons of glass bottles.

Francesca

Really good product

This is a fantastic product. I rarely use foundation, and instead, use just this as my base on most days. It is very wearable on its own (not too shiny) and gives the skin a beautiful glow. It does not dry the skin out or accentuate any blemishes. One bottle goes a long way.

Frida

Makes my skin look healthy

I use this alone with a few strokes of concealer under my eyes, on my forehead and my chin. Finish off with a translucent powder (RCMA) and my base is done. I absolutely love this product, it does a lot for the look of my skin. However I don't feel it does anything for the longevity of my foundation if I use it in that way.

Vinni

Love it

I'm totally in love with this it gives my skin a healthy glow and I love the smell too.

TWG

I’m addicted!

I got this as a freebie and I’m so impressed with it! Not only will I continue to purchase this (forever) but all my friends have tried it on my recommendation and are buying it now also!! It honestly does give you a natural “lit from within” effect and foundation goes on flawlessly over it! So impressed.

Lei

I don't understand the hype

I really wanted to love this but it just emphasises skin texture and pores. No blurring whatsoever, as it claims. However, it does give a nice glow and is nice to use on its own as a liquid highlight, but even then, it's still a super subtle highlight.

Brittany

Simply brilliant

For me the best primer for a subtle glow. LOVE!

Dolly

Must have!

This is the first primer I have fallen head over heels in love with. It makes my foundation look flawless, last longer and is just a general all round amazing addition to my routine. Will use forever.

Bronwen

Amazing!

First time trying this, really nice texture and gives a natural gloominess to the skin. although not sure how well it keeps on your makeup, but I guess its a primer for glow and not for keeping your makeup intact all day!

Steph

The glow is real

I am so impressed with this product. I wasn't sure whether to purchase because in the past I have used other glowy primers and I have found that they are not a particularly good base for makeup. This, however, gives you a gorgeous, healthy, lit from within glow and my make up blends beautifully on top. What's even better is you get glow peeking through even on higher coverage foundations. It's just the dream for dull skin and it lasts all day too! I do have an issue with my nose being combination type skin (with a red undertone and with visible pores) and I personally think I could possibly do with using a different primer on this area. It is not horrible in this area by any means but in my opinion, it's working best on the dull and more dry to normal skin type on the rest of my face. I also really like the pump on this product super easy to use. It has become a firm favourite straight away!

Pri K

Amazing

I use this product everyday! Sometimes I mix it with my moisturiser or apply on its own. Gives such a nice radiant glow, but not too in your face! Its so creamy and buttery and it lasts all day on the face! I use it so much that I am on my second bottle now! This looks amazing under foundation too!

Lilia

Lit from within glow

This makes my skin look nice and glowy without any shimmer or glitter. It can be worn alone on no makeup days for a healthy, dewy skin look. It’s great under any foundation I’ve tried, the luminosity actually shines through, and it’s also great mixed in with a foundation to give more glow.

Maria

Very nice

The best glowing primer for me. Smells great, feels great, looks great, didn't make me look greasy and oily- absolutely love it. I've also tried First Light and I must say that I like this one much more.

ERIALC

much prefer this to First Light

After being disappointed with First Light, I was keen to give Backlight a try and I would say I much prefer this. It really gives a glow to the skin even if you put on a full coverage foundation that genuinely looks lit from within. I can't vouch if it helps with the longevity of my foundation but my skin looks more radiant, dimensional and less flat with this.

Cay

Wonderful

I've tried a lot of different primers, but I usually end up removing them because they settle in my dry spots and do my foundation no favours. So I usually go without. I heard good things about primers from Becca, and I am not disappointed. The very liquid formula is perfect for my combination skin, and it helps my "face" stay on without touch-ups throughout the day. For my daily routine I just put a bb-cream on top to allow some of the "glow" to shine through but you could probably mix it in with your foundation to get the same effect. Smells slightly citrus-y which is quite pleasant, too.

karaly

Great primer

I have a dry and sensitive skin. It provides illuminating effect, applies easily and evenly. I put Lunasol liquid foundation over it and its great. Highly recommend.

MakeupJunkie

Best Primer

Becca has the best primers in the world. I love both Backlight and Firstlight. I add Backlight into BB cream and foundation. It always makes my skin dewy with a healthy glow from within. It's the key to younger looking. Well, if that's one of your concern. Plus, by using Backlight, my make up stays on for hours without drying my skin at the same time. I love this product, which can blend to any of the base products. It's my daily routine.

Hakima

Smells Divine

Love this product, Smells beautiful as well as a excellent primer for the skin, However if you wear a matte foundation you wont be able to see as much of a glow this product is suppose to initially give. All in all it does leave your skin looking and feeling smooth and radiant.

Юлия

В полном восторге

Я влюбилась в этом праймер! Приятный аромат, легкая текстура, которая увлажняет кожу и хорошее выравнивание цвета лица за счет светоотражающих частиц, которые имеются в составе. При этом, лицо не выглядит, как блестящий диско-шар, а появляется именно здоровое сияние. ***I fell in love with this primer! A pleasant scent, a light texture that moisturizes the skin and a good leveling of the complexion due to the light-reflecting particles that are present in the composition. At the same time, the face does not look like a shiny disco ball, but it appears to be a healthy glow.***

Cj99

50/50

In some ways I loved this product, and I think anyone with blemish free, flawless skin would swear by it. However I am not one of these people. I think the pearly elements in the primer created a really subtle glow, I also noticed that in selfies taken next to a bright light the primer remained glowing yet natural where as with other primers my skin would normally turn ghost white and ruin any Instagram - worthy picture. I would recommend this for a photo shoot etc... HOWEVER, in everyday use I look for something that can appear to minimize my pores. That is my number one issue that I look for in a primer and for me this just did not do the trick.

Ladylipstick

No good for me :(

I'm disappointed with this, I've not had the best experience, certainly not the same as others. I bought it because it states that it is suitable for all skins types including oily/combination. I'm struggling with it on my skin. It's such a beautiful, light reflecting product but it's very difficult for me to blend into my skin and when I pop my foundation on the top you can see the unblended primer underneath, it's really difficult to describe but it looks like a light film under my foundation that has broken and split. Might just have to use it to highlight my decolletage but this is disappointing as it was quite expensive and I'm don't have a usable primer now.

AC

Best primer

I mix this in with a foundation and it gives the most perfect subtle glow. Highly recommended. The ONLY con is the pump...the sample smaller size dispenses the perfect amount in 1 pump. The full size give too much in 1 pump.

Mari From Sweden

Boost & prime

It is slightly expensive, however it is a good amount of product for a primer. Add to that the practical and easy pump, that makes it easy to choose the amount that you want to use. And with the quality of the product as well, you simply have a world class primer that is worth spending a bit more money to me. It is a primer that feels moist but light on the skin, a little goes a long way. It is a primer with focus on giving your skin a Radiant, Dewy Glow. So for me, with dry and often kind of lacklustre and flat complexion, this is a great boost to start my make up with. It gives a fresh sheen, a shimmer that give life to your base, even with some coverage to your foundation, it boosts your complexion. I have even tried to put a little blended with an otherwise matt cream foundation, and really liked the finish during the summer when I tend to use bronzer and NARS Orgasm that match my skintone after some sun as well. It does not not clog my pores, it has a lovely fresh scent that is great and a smell of a high end product, makes my foundation glide on without dry patches, a glow that suit people of every age I think.

MissyNADM

Long-wearing Natural Luminosity in a bottle

If your skin lacks radiance then this is a primer you will love. It can be applied to bare skin for an all-over subtle dewy glow or it can be used under your base of choice; whether it be a liquid, powder or a cream foundation. Even with a medium-to-full coverage foundation the luminosity of the primer still peeks through slightly and looks beautiful. Colour wise it is a soft, golden beige that is thicker and less shimmery and opaque than the Becca shimmering skin perfectors. It gives the skin a pretty soft glow and I also find that it helps with the longevity of my makeup and makes application of foundation much quicker as it just glides on. Use your fingers to warm this product up - you are guaranteed naturally beautiful luminous skin with this and your foundation will last longer too.

Nazia

A really good primer

I really like this primer. It glides on the skin smoothly and helps to even tone it. I was afraid that it might give unnatural shine to the skin in form of glitter. However, it is very natural and smoothens the skin out. The quantity is also good for the amount of money. Would definitely recommend Becca products to my friends.
