I would say the physicians formula mineral glow pearls in translucent pearl is similar, however not as pigmented. ...This powder: - isn't too metallic - gives a 'glowing from within' pearl glow - is incredibly pigmented - has a soft buttery texture that isn't too crumbly, dusty, or hard - particles of glitter or shimmer are nonexistent, you get a glow not a wash of sparkle - the color is a pinky-peachy-pearl, perfect for most skin tones but would be quite dramatic for anyone past a NW40 It is PERFECT. compared to other popular highlighters: -Becca liquid in Moonlight or Pearl - they are less shimmery/glowy and create more of a dewy glow - Becca powder in Moonlight or Pearl - this is far more shimmery/metallic and less realistic. - Urban Decay's Naked Highlighter - SUPER glittery, not realistic at all (still gorgeous) - Guerlain Meteorites - More powdery looking - Benefit High Beam - more of a dewy glow, less pigmented - Too Faced Candlelight - more of a metallic, less believable glow, but still gorgeous

WHEREVER PEARL is FANTASTIC!...Thank you @Influenster and @makupforever for this complementary product. I wore the WHEREVER PEARL this past weekend on the runway at the Sparkle and Shine fashion show and this highlighter definitely shines! ...It doesn't emphasize skin texture. I love the pearl color on my light skintone but if you're any darker I'd pick a darker shade.

What it is: A skin-fusing powder highlighter with a velvety texture that melts into skin for a natural, lit-from-within glow or high-impact shimmer effect.

Doesn’t dry out my skin, leaves a bit of a pearl finish without leaving me looking shiny....effective, maybe use primer + setting powder, too!...:) again, this is only 4/5 because it gave me the effect i expected--BUT i'm not giving it a full chance since i don't have a primer and setting powder to give it a strong structure to build off of for staying power. will be writing an updated review once i have time with a primer and setting powder (both probably being one/size, but we'll see!)

What it is: A waterproof setting spray that gives skin an all-day matte finish.

Highlighted Ingredients:
- Green Tea Extract: Helps tighten pores.
- Witch Hazel: Absorbs oil for a blurred, matte finish.
