Blush Battle! Sephora Baked Luminizer Light Beam VS. NARS Highlighting Blush Miss Liberty

Both of these powders are very very similar which is my reason for this post. Every now and then beauty bloggers will come across dupes in their collection that are similar to high end makeup products. NARS Highlighting Blush in Miss Liberty is $30.00 and Sephora Collection MicroSmooth Baked Luminizer 02 Light Beam is $14.00. In the photo's above both look like twins, with Miss Liberty having just a bit more glitter. NARS Miss Liberty is more powdery than Light Beam, and Light Beam's application is smoother. Both are great highlighters for light to tan skin. Please use caution and a light hand application as Light Beam can appear chalky on brown skin. I did not have this problem though with Miss Liberty. If you are looking for a more conventional, everyday highlight these just might do the trick. Both are worth the investment. But if you are looking to save some chips, go with Sephora's 02 Light Beam.

 Review
I originally bought this with the intent of using it as a highlight for my cheekbones. If your using a liquidation this is excellent. However if you are a Bare minerals original foundation girl, this can come off ashy. If you have large pores steer clear. However pretty this powder appears to be. It may not work for you so please do your research and not just purchase this on a whim. It is quite pricey, although I got it half off on HauteLook. Intermediate to Professional makeup artist and enthusiast my know how to correctly apply this powder. But I do not recommend this for someone just dipping their feet into highlighting techniques. A good brush is key as this powder is fine and smooth. I love how it feels on the skin. It is long lasting, and I experienced no skin irritation. This particular shade has peachy undertones which come off ashy on my skin tone, but I think it maybe because I was using a powder foundation underneath. Skin prep is key. 
The powder comes in a sturdy mirrored compact with a thin application sponge. 
This powder is suitable for fair to tan skin tones.
