Product says:
No glitter. Just glow. Highlighting hits a new high with NARS’ new Highlighting Powder. This uncompromising innovation delivers next-level luminosity with Seamless Glow Technology—a blend of sheer powders and pearls to create second-skin luster that blends effortlessly.
I first met the brand a couple of years ago. It’s super-hyped everywhere. I liked all the products that I’ve tried from them.
PACKAGING- Above all praises. Matte black compact with a big mirror inside. The compact doesn’t have any featured brushes. When I’m at work, I apply this highlighter with my fingertip, so it blends out nicer. The compact feels like rubber to the touch which obviously makes it much easier to stain. I have to wipe it off from time to time.
The product is handy to use at home as well as while traveling or going out.
Daytime lights:
From the pictures, you can see that the shade of the product is rather fair. At the store, I couldn’t make up my mind on which shade to buy.
CHARACTERISTICS
The highlighter is tightly pressed and it offers a small shimmer infusion.
When I pick it up with a brush, it doesn’t dust all over and ensures minimal spending. I need the tiniest bit of it to apply on my face. I guess it’ll last for a very long time.
AROMA- The product doesn’t smell of anything which is so advantageous for me.
LASTING POWER- It’s great. The formula stays put on my face throughout the day, though I can still touch it up in the evening a little.
The shade Albatross is a really fair highlighter with a yellow undertone. I can recommend it to everyone with redness, as the product neutralizes it. At the store, I couldn’t decide which one to buy - Albatross or Capri which has a pink undertone.
At first sight, this shade is white with yellow undertone but in the sunlight in shines with golden casting. You can witness it in the picture below. Unfortunately, I didn’t succeed at taking a good picture of the product on my face.
The shine here is delicate, which is great, especially for daytime makeup. In the evening I use another highlighter that is more gleaming and shining.

OVERALLI love this highlighter. I can list the following things to the pros:
CONS:
I can recommend this NARS Albatross Highlighter. However, I still want to take one star off for some minor cons.
The highlighter is good but I have others which are much better in my collection.
