Last year I fell in love with the highlighting technique. And I had heard a lot of great things about Nars albatross highlighting powder, SO I went to sephora, swatched it, and I immediately fell in love with it. It was like magic. I had never seen a product like that, actually I was very curious about knowing how a white powder could turn into a golden color and especially how it would look on a dark skin.
Well It looked fantastic and I knew I had to buy it. However I must say you have to use this powder with a very light hand, because NARS products are known for being extremly pigmented which is a good thing but at the same time, in my opinion, you don't want your highlight to look that obvious. I used to use it as a brow bone highlight ( favorite part in my makeup routine) and as a cheekbone highlight too. It is a very beautiful color but I think it looks too obvious for a daytime look... which lead me to look for a highlithing powder that I could use on a everyday basis.
In December during the winter sale I went to sephora and saw that FRED FARRUGIA brand was on sale. I must say I didn't really pay attention to that brand until then, but all the products went from 15euros to 4.50euros SO I thought why not trying it ! I noticed the illuminating powder and It immediately made me think about the NARS one. The concept was the same : a white powder that turns into a golden powder once applied and blended on the skin. Well this powder has became my go-to highlighting product ever since and I use it almost every day as it is sheer and subtle.
