NARS Albatross
I am thinking about buying NARS albatross highlighting powder. Does anyone here use it? How does look on WOC?

Re: NARS Albatross
It does show up on WOC. Its a more gold highlighter than many people are used to -its not a pink opalescent shine bomb. It is more sophisticated. Not only for cheekbones, but eyes,cleavage, the center of your bottom lip,the bow above your top lip, etc.

Re: NARS Albatross
I always wanted to know if it was WOC friendly. I was gonna buy it to try it out, but now I can stalk another makeup item.

Re: NARS Albatross
I LOVE it. I put it around my eyes and sometimes on my cheeks. Looks really nice and yes it is sophisicated.

I wonder if it looks like vanilla pigment?

Re: NARS Albatross
I bought it and I love it. It's especially pretty when I spritz the brush with Fix+ and use it all over my face. It gives a very nice glow and doesn't look white at all.

Re: NARS Albatross
I love it ! Totally HG material.
Iīve tried many highlighters before but this one itīs the only one I use.
Itīs not too shimmery, suitable for day time, great on the cheeks, eyes , cupidīs bow .

Re: NARS Albatross
I have this and reach for it often b/c it's so versatile. Definitely pigmented like most NARS blushes are so I have to use a light hand or my 187/188. Gives me a soft glow similar to New Vegas MSF but without the glitter.

The color itself is white-gold IMO and doesn't have the duochrome of Vanilla pig.

Re: NARS Albatross
I didn't care for it. I swatched it on my hand and couldn't see it. Also, the texture was too dry or chunky or something. I didn't try it on my face but I think I'll pass.

If it was chunky you may have tried a bad one, it has a smooth texture.

Re: NARS Albatross
Its very nice but subtle. Nothing like New Vegas or even Bobbi Brown's Gold Shimmerbrick. I'm NC35 and it was very subtle looking on my skin. At times I love it and others I don't. haha. I just love gold highlighters though!

Oh and it looks nothing like Vanilla pigment.
