Becca is notoriously known for beautiful highlighters, who could resist the buttery-ness of the formulas and the pure pigment? But I live in Australia so buying Becca highlighters will set me back a good $60-$70 which is a lot of money to be spending on one item. On one of my purchases off ibuybeauti's online store, I stumbled upon this Etude House Contour/Highlight duo and bought it because it was pretty.
The embossed patterns on Etude House's product was stunning so I couldn't pass it up but upon putting it on my cheek it gave a really similar look/feel to Moonstone. It might not be an exact dupe but I think the quality and look is amazing for the price.
Products mentioned are: Etude House Face Line V Line Slim Maker in shade #1 and Becca's Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed in Moonstone.

Texture: "Moonstone" is more creamy even though it is a powder. Etude House's duo has more of a powdery feel to the touch, it will kick off more powder but on the skin they both look smooth - doesn't emphasise any pores or textures on my skin.
Colour: Both products are of the same "lightness" but Moonstone is more gold/yellow than champagne and Etude House is more champagne than gold - this is only noticeable if you are looking EXTREMELY closely otherwise they look the same on the skin. They both have the same amount of luminosity and shine, they do not look glittery on the face - they can also be applied lightly for a natural glow or built up for more intensity (they do not cake with more layers but Etude House's can look a tad more obvious and less blended than Moonstone since it is more of a true powder highlight).
Lasting Power: Both last all day on my oily skin.
Price: Becca Moonstone is: $62. Etude House Face V Line Slim Maker in #1 is: $15.
