So I can't decide between which highlighter to purchase, and usually it would be a no brainer to me... They look extremely similar, help!

If you're talking about the Pressed powder version of Becca and the naked baked illuminator I would 100% go with becca. texture is much smoother, more pigmented, creamier, and there's no obvious glitter particles like UD. the UD one feels dry and dusty in comparison.

Becca definitely, I disliked the UD one intensely as it's basically a large chunk of glitter.

Becca Champagne pop spotlight wand (and Pearl, Topaz) is on sale today on Sephora's website! I love the wand. It's a portable version of the liquid. I think it's 12 dollars- can't beat that! It's small but will last a long time. Besides, Becca is far superior to UD in highlighters like the other commenters said.

Becca really is one of the gold standards of highlighters. It's silky, easy to blend, buildable, so you can have a natural glow for day or a more glamorous look for evening. With the exception of my Tom Ford palette, it's my go to highlighter, and I think one of the first ones I bought many years ago. I've also repurchased, that's what a solid product it is. I would give it a good 10/10, that's how exceptional it is.

Thanks everyone, I wish I would've known the couple Becca highlighters were on sale at Sephora because I just purchased the Becca Opal poured highlighter on Ulta's website.. Oh well, thanks guys!!

The Opal wasn't on sale- you could still try Champagne or Pearl for the discounted price 😊 Becca illuminators are addictive. And you have a cream so you still need a liquid 😉

Ahhh, yes I'm addicted to make up. A girl could never have too much.

The UD one is shimmery (visibly), BUT does look amazing if applied damp! Most prefer the more subtle Becca products, since the payoff is superb, and the glow is sublime ;)

I was thinking of buying the UD baked illuminator but after testing it it didn't stay in place and had a lot of fallout.. So I say go with the Becca ❤️
