I am NC 40/NC42 for reference. I really love Perfect Topping MSF, Lune blushcreme, Shell Pearl, By Candlelight MSF, Other Worldly sheertone shimmer blush

As a highlight?

For the Spring and Summer I like Warmed MSF or Otherworldly
For the Fall or Winter, I love Belightful

hi everyone, I'm an nc50/C8, for a highlighter I use NRAS Albertross, and MAC Margin blush as a highlighter, I've heard great things about luster and I'm worried it may be too close to margin. Does anyone have both? if so is it colse or not at all? thanks!

 

[HersheysKiss]

Anything with gold undertones in it i'll love. So warmed msf, global glow msf, gold deposit msf, and otherwordly blush!!

I have both, and I don't think they are close at all. I'd describe Luster as gold with a slight rosey tint. And you know Margin is kind of peachy pinky. Def. different.

I don't know if anyone has mentioned this but I love MAC Perfect Topping as a highlight and I am an C40 - NC42

I can't remember if I've already said this (sorry if I have) but I love the blush Topeka from CARGO as a highlight. Works just can't describe.

Vanilla and Melon Pigments for me. Spritz with a fixer and WOO!

I am loving Mac Gold Deposit MSF and also ELF glow blush. Also Dior shimmer Amber.

I bought Albatross yesterday. I can't wait to use it!

I really want to try Albatross! But I have Mac Vanilla pigment...Does this compare to Albatross?

These days Albatross is the winner for me. It's especially wonderful because it is a gold sheen (warm toned) opposed to most highlighters which have a silverish sheen (cool toned). Albatross tends to look more natural on my NC43 skin. Every WOC should at least check this out, it's so amazingly wonderful that I now wear it every day and love the glow it gives.

Also like Vanilla pigment as a highlight, which also has a gold sheen/is warm toned but IMO they are slightly different. Albatross is finer and easier to use if you are in a rush. Conversely, vanilla pigment is very versatile as you can also use it as an eyeshadow, mix in with your foundation and lotion, nail polish, etc.

These are my two favorites. But I also have and like High Beam and Strobe Cream as a highlight, which are cool toned highlighters and don't get used as often as the others.

I use something flat and boring, but it works. MAC Harmony blush on my NW45-47 skin

So Albatross is similar but slightly different? Well knowing me I will still get Albatross! I agree Vanilla pigment has many uses but not the easiest to use in a hurry..
