Help Me Choose: Nars copacabana or albatross?

[blinkymei]

Hi all!

I'm trying to decide on a highlighter: copacabana, a multiple or albatross, the highlighter powder. I'm an Asian NC25-30. I have combo, acne prone skin that can look oily in my T-zone. Please tell me your pros and cons? why? etc... Thanks in Advance!

I have used both, and prefer Albatross. It just has the most divine texture and gorgeous finish - gives a wonderful shimmer/glow without looking glittery. I am NW20. Albatross is my fave highlighter from any line.

i'd go w/albatross. as powder, it will last you longer! (5 yrs opposed to 2 for shelf life)

Albatross is prettier IMO.

More love for Albatross (I am probably NC 25 though I haven't been colormatched; I am either buff or sand beige in revlon colorstay)

Albatross FTW!

It's foolproof. I have some that has been crushed and powdered for me and it works a charm.

Albatross. as much as I love my copacabana stick, I find myself using albatross a lot more.. It's a bit more versatile and works over any blush - a really beautiful highlighter.

also, a powder formula might work better if you have oily skin.

I'll vote for Copacabana though!!! I'm NC30 and Copacabana is a very subtle with a very nice sheen. I can't really explain why I like it over Albatross though... both are pretty!

That's a lot of endorsements.

I’m glad I just ordered it from Sephora the other day. Too bad it won’t be here in time for me to take it to Vegas with me tomorrow.

Yeah I can be lazy that's why I wanted the ease of using a multiple rather than a powder but I was thinking and I agree with that too... why didn't they release a multiple? lol... since it's a popular item just like Orgasm... which is a nailpolish, lipgloss, multiple, and blush

I would love to see albatross in multiple form.
I have really dry skin so the formulation would suit me more.
