Does anyone have both of these to compare? Are these dupes? Im looking for a highlighter for MAC NW15 skin but don't know which one i should go with

I don't have Soft & Gentle, but I can tell you that Albatross is my fave highlighter of all time. I am NW20. It just has the most gorgeous sheen without being glittery. I'm in love with it.

If you find Albatross pricey, i've been hearing there is an amazing dupe by E.L.F. Its in the studio blushes and its called Gotta Glow. I saw comparison pics on mua and wow! Lots of rave reviews too.

Yeah, Ive heard about the gotta glow but then when I looked up some reviews some said this was chalky? I dont know, I might try it, elf does have some gems

I think soft & gentle it`s too glittery I like my highlighter finely milled, glowing but less noticeable , melt in my skin, some msf do that ( I love redhead lighter part, or so ceylon, these 2 are my fav). Although I found soft & gentle looks fine on darker skin tone, but not on me nc 20 , so a thumb down from me
Nars albatross is in my wishlist too so I`m reading this thread interested too

If you like chunky glitter from head to toe at the end of the day, get Soft & Gentle.

If you like looking like a normal person, get Albatross bahah XD

i LOVE albatros!!! Its so beautiful on most skin tones (im not sure if your very dark, as ive never seen anyone with it on that i know of). It works soooooo good on a apsty girl like myself (mufe 117) I use it all the time as an eye highlight too.
IMO its the perfect highlight. Pricey, but i would absolutely buy again

Yes I too love Albatros and I have used it as a brow highlighter also. I use mine almost every day and I've had it over a year. So a bit pricey at the get go but I've not hit pan yet so I figure that's pretty good.

they are totaly different
albatros is bit goldish and very subtle
soft and gentle is cream color and bit more glittery and noticable
i personally prefer soft and gentle

i have had both, albatross is worth the extra money, i gave soft and gentle away, it was too obviously shimmery, like glitter bomb, albatross is finely milled perfection
