It's not MAC but I absolutely love Nars Albatross. I'm much paler than you but I have the same warm complexion and it's really gorgeous and subtle.

Hopefully some other people on here can recommend a MAC highlighter for you...but I just wanted to give my vote

I'm a huge fan of Cream Color Bases as cheek highlighters. I am N20ish and my fave is Pearl, pale gold-yellow. I'm not sure what would be good on your tone, maybe Shell? But anyways..yeah..check out CCBs!

ditto!!!

I know alot of people use vanilla pigment for highlighting. Maybe you could find a more complimentary pigment shade?

I like to use Accentuate from my Accenuate/Sculpt duo...You can get Accentuate powder alone in a MAC Pro Store. Iridescent pressed powders are also good for highlighting and MSFs too.

depending on your intensety here are a few.... i aslo recomend to put ob your higlight no matter what u get with the mac 188bursh its the mini 187 (the black and white one)
motife or hush eyeshadows give u the look for a MSF

if u mix golden bronze and silverdusk loose shimmer powder it creats the effect of chimpane msf.

ricpaper is great too as well as nylon, shroom (more subtle)

nc35 is a great tone to be you are right in the middle not to dark not to light

if you are nc40 and above or nw35 and above try using motife it is aboslutly fantastic!

and for anyoe that has a bit of tan the rubenesqe paint pot looks fab on the cheekbones.....

please use the 188 it will buff it greatly... that is all i hope that helps!

ps. if u use these shadows wet (i like to grab a tissure remove the first layer of shadow off and use whats on my tissue wet so u dont mess up the shadow) it will be about 10x better!

no, silver dusk and golden bronze should are permenent, they are the loose shimmer powders in the same jars as the loose powders.

I LOVE Ricepaper as a highlight too! unfortunately my skin is so darn sensitive that I can only use it on my eyes (can't use this on my cheeks as it breaks me out)
