Albatross

Albatross is a very light, white gold with a more matte, powdery base that is white-based with lighter, warmer yellow shimmer. Albatross is a nice highlighter for someone who wants a very pale, ethereal base. On my skin tone, I find I have to be careful with application or else the white base is too prominent, but it mixes and layers well with a lot of blushes (which is how I tend to wear my highlighters). The texture of the version in the palette was more powdery and more prone to sheeringout--you can see how it looks chalkier overall than past iterations of the shade and less shimmery. It wore well for seven hours on me. ColourPop Stole the Show (P, $8.00) is more shimmery (95% similar).
