One of my favourite highlighters so far...
This highlighter is not a subtle one, for sure, so if you are looking for a subtle, natural glow – this isn’t it. Even though this is a very finely milled powder, it still delivers a very shimmery finish, even when used with a light hand. And yes, using it with a light hand is the best way to use it in my opinion. This is a warm, champaign colored powder with lots of micro glitters in it. P...read moreersonally, I reach for this highlighter almost every day, but for a day look, I use it with a fan brush because I find that this way you get the most natural look out of it. I like that this highlighter stays on all day. I don’t know if it’s because it’s milled so finely or if it’s due to specific ingredients in its formula, but if I apply it in the morning, it stays on my face (combination skin) all day. One thing I don’t want to forget to mention, there is a great dupe for this product out there. It is a limited edition so I don’t know for how long it will still be available, but if you are on a budget and are looking for a dupe, get it! It’s “Metal Glam” by “Essence”. These two are almost identical. When I put them side by side I do notice that “Mary-Lou” is milled slightly finer and “Metal Glam” is just a tiny bit more rosy, but when I actually use them I can’t tell the difference apart from the fact that “Metal Glam” doesn’t last as long. For $20 less though, I would definitely go with “Essence” if you don’t own either one of these… :) Overall, I do agree with most reviewers of this product… This is a great highlighter, very versatile and adaptable for any occasion. The only people I wouldn’t recommend this to are the ones who wear very little makeup and prefer an extremely subtle finish when they do. It would probably be more suitable for them to use a matte or satin powder, one or two shades lighter than their skin color.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

My holy grail highlighter!
I love my TheBalm Mary-Lou Manizer highlighter. It can be a multi-purpose highlighter, I often use it in the inner corners of my eyes, brow bone, and its perfect for a cupid's bow highlight as well!This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 2 people said helpful

Champagne Shimmer
The Balm is a great brand and this is a beautiful highlighter. Its a pretty champagne color and very cute packaging. I still prefer cream highlighters but this is a 10 star product regardless.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 2 people said helpful
