Step Aside High Beam, Albatross is in the Hiz-ouse
I have a huge affinity for highlighters. I saw NAY to matte skin and YAY to the dewy-glowy look. I feel like I've been stuck in a rut with Benefit's Moon Beam and High Beam. Don't get me wrong, they're wonderful highlighters. I guess I was just a little bored of the liquid formulas. Then I met Nars Albatross ($26).
Albatross is classified as a Nars blush. It's actually a highlighter. It's a bit alarming in the pan. It looks like a stark white, with slight pale gold shimmer. But, when you put it on, BAM. It gives you a sexy golden sheen. It's so finely milled that the result is a soft halo-esque glow, no gold glitter here ABBA.
I use it on on top of my cheekbones and down my nose (when I'm feelin' it). I use it EVERY SINGLE DAY.
It's kind of hard to photograph correctly, but I tried anyways. Can you guys see the slight shimmer on my cheekbones? Trust me, it's more noticeable in real life.
Oh I'm in love.
What's your favorite highlighter?
it's so pretty/noticeable in the picture, too!
