Good question! I've been wondering the same thing. So are these basically the same thing as highlighters or MSFs? Do all of these things have different uses or look different, or are they all the same?

They look amazing but I must warn you, it me break out sooooo bad. I used to have perfect skin, started using that and BAM horrible acne on my cheeks and I still have acne scars even though I stopped using it months ago. My friend also had the same reaction which is how I realized it was the Beauty Powder that did it.

I use my very light one all over my face as a finish that softens my blush - I apply it with quick sweeps of a really large face brush so that I'm not depositing too much in one area. I use my darker one as a blush or a bronzer, depending on how I put it on. I've never had any breakouts caused by them.

How do you use these? I know you can use them as blush...but what else? For reference I have Pearl Blossom, Pearl Sunshine, Alpha Girl, and all 3 from Fafi....

cheek highlight, chest and shoulder shimmer.

fafi didn't have beauty powders. those were iridescent pressed powders. those have chunky sparkle, where BPs have fine shimmer. two different animals.

I love using Pearl Sunshine as a highlighter for my eyes. It's one of my on the go shade when I don't feel like wearing eyeshadow

when you say cheek highlight...do you mean putting it on top of regular blush? I guess I should just experiment...hehehehe

if its light, i'd do it on your cheekbone. if it has alot of color, i'd use it as blush or on top of blush (on the cheekbone might make your blush look misplaced, ya know?).

Beauty Powder and wear it every day. I use it to highlight the cheekbone before blush, and the silky texture makes your blush just glide on and blend like magic. I've been using Peaceful from the Raquel Welch Beauty Icon collection as my contour lately and it blends like a dream.
LOVE THEM!

I mainly use them as blush because I can't do normal blush 90% of the time.

I use them as blush when I want a lighter color or over blush to lighten and brighten the color I'm wearing. They're fun and sparkly!
