Essence Cosmetics Mono Eyeshadows in Snowflake and Becca Pressed Powder in Pearl are strikingly similar on the skin used in this manner. Becca is a touch more glowy but they both have the same effect on the skin as a highlighter.

Verdict:

This is a solid formula for a pearl finish eyeshadow. Definitely, check them out as the Essence Cosmetics displays are built with testers to see if you like a shade before buying them. But totally work more than their price point in my opinion.
