theBalm Mary Lou Manizer Highlighter

I am OBSESSED with this highlighter it has been my go to for years and years! It gives you that gorgeous glow and I even put this on when I wear no makeup and it gives me a natural glow, you can blend it in really well and it doesn’t look cakey on your skin it’s absolutely gorgeous and suits many different skin tones. It is also very long lasting too.

This highlighter was recommended to me by some make up artists as i was struggling to find a highlighter that didnt look silver whiteish on my skin, wanted a more pearlesque type glow. This is perfect texture, can be used with fan brush for light highlight or powdered on for a more dramatic highlight for special events with a flat foundation brush. Sometimes adding a fixing spray gives it that wet highlighted glow . Only problem is that its very delicate iv smashed mine 2 times now packaging isnt strong to keep intact but all in all amazing product.

I love this highlighter, it has been one of my favourites for a couple of years. I use this highlight for a natural glow in an everyday look. I feel it compliments the skin nicely for a subtle highlight and it also looks nice over a matte blusher.

I love a blinding highlight but that isn’t always suitable. This highlight works for the everyday but still gives that glow. It last throughout my busy nursing shifts and I am always complemented for my highlight when I wear this one. It really suits my pale skin tone as well. This also isn’t glittery which is a problem with some highlighters.

This highlighter is amazing it’s so blinding but it is quite dark for fairer skin tones. It would be great for light medium skin tones but not dark skin tones. It has a golden undertone and has golden/ almost green tinted glitter in it. Some people may not like the glittery texture but I think it’s nice. If you are looking for a cult highlighter that everyone likes and are ok spending a bit more for a good highlighter, this is for YOU!

I am a huge fan of this highlighter! I have been using it for about 6 months and it's my go-to for everyday looks. It's definitely one you can build up if you want a little extra glow for your look which will take more time. I've found if you spray some setting spray onto your brush before applying it intensifies the highlight. The fine champagne colour works great on my fair skin!

This highlighter is overrated. It feels too lightweight and the pigment isn’t good. The only positive is the shade and consistency.

Very pretty highlighter. Its a nice shimmery nude so looks very natural on the skin which is what I like. The shimmer is very fine so looks like a glow rather than a harsh sparkly line on the cheek bone.

I have used this highlight for years. It used to be my holy grail! But things have moved on and i have found better. This has kind of disappeared in my collection and i just dont enjoy it like i used to, the colour is gorgeous but i have found formulas that i prefer from cheaper brands!

Amazing product - this is my go-to for an everyday highlight. It's neither too gold nor too pale so works well on fair/medium skin. Last for a while (bought my first one about 2 years ago and am only just repurchasing despite using it most days), looks beautiful on the skin and is well worth the price. Also really love the concept and packaging of all the -manizer sisters. Every girl should have this item in their makeup collection, it can be used for so many things from highlighting eyeshadow, as a mixer to lighten up darker colours of eyeshadow or to add a sheen to matte colours. I also use it under the brow bone and to highlight the inner corners of my eye aswell as on my collarbones. Truly great product and formula and I 100% recommend it.
