Becca Athena Pressed Shimmer Powder

The Athena PSP from Becca is a beautiful bronzy-gold color.  This pressed shimmer powder has a very metallic sheen, but no chunks of glitter.  Here's how it looks in the pan.

It doesn't look that exciting in the compact, kind of blah.  However, when I swipe it on, it comes to life.  It can be used as a highlighter or as a pale peachy-gold summery blush.  The pictures below are the swatches--heavy and then buffed out.


The pictures don't really do it justice.  It has a beautiful sheen that was hard to capture.


This is probably best for neutral or warm skins, but I think some cool toned girls could pull it off.  Here's a look at all of the PSPs. 


Next, I'll talk about my personal favorite, Gypsy (Surprise--it's pink!).  I hope you're enjoying the Becca products!  Did I mention, that my dear friend Lynn has a blog devoted to Becca products?  Please check it out--Shades of Becca.
