theBalm Mary-Lou Manizer Honey-Hued Luminizer, Highlighter, Shadow & Shimmer, Subtle Glow

I got all three "Manizer Sisters." I'm a "makeup enthusiast" but not a makeup artist. The breakdown:Mary Lou is a gold champagne. Very reflective and the most reflective of the group. Highly Pigmented, blends well. Very beautiful. From seeing it online, I think it would look best on very fair-medium-tan skin tones and might start to look ashy on darker skin tones. You can control the intensity by blending out less product on the cheeks (makes it sheerer) or using it wet (intense).Cindy Lou is a slightly dusty pinky peach. Less reflective and more of a satin sheen finish, the least reflective of the group. Blends well, very pretty, but also less pigmented than the rest, but still usable. More subtle. For light-medium skin tones in my opinion, but you may want to look up swatches on others yourself.Betty Lou is a warm bronze with golden undertones. Very pigmented and blends well. The second most reflective in the group, but when I blended it out as a bronzer on my light skintone, it didn't look muddy and was very beautiful if you like warm bronzers. It also didn't look like a highlighter as much when blended out well, which means it can work as both. This would be a great bronzer for light-tan skin tones, depending on how deep you are and how well you blend it out if you're lighter. It would also be a great highlighter for tan-deep skin tones.I have pictures of swatches with and without flash, and blended on my face over a light layer of foundation. On my face, Mary Lou is nearest my ear, Cindy Lou is in the middle, and Betty Lou is nearest my cheek. The colors don't show up the best, but the swatches should help clear things up.

This highlighter was just as I expected. I've heard a lot of good reviews about this, and I was in need of a nice, gold-toned highlighter, so I went ahead and ordered this. The packaging is beautiful, the box that it comes in matches the cover on the top. As seen, it has a matte silver compact, which in my opinion, is a good thickness so you know that you're getting a good amount of product, with a mirror that's useful for when you're applying the highlighter.I have light-to-tan skin, so I loved the color. If you are a darker shade, however, I would look into the other theBalm highlighters, like Cindy Lou or Betty Lou, because this is a highlighter you'd have to blend out because it is pretty light. What I love about the highlighter is that it is nicely pigmented. This is what I mean when I say this product will make you GLOW. I love this a lot, and the retail price is about $24, and the fact that it's a bit cheaper on Amazon is awesome. I got this for $19.99, and right now it's $15.99, which makes me a little bit sadder that I could have saved $4, but $16 or $20, this is definitely worth the price. I love the packaging, it's very sturdy, and this is now my go-to highlighter for everyday, and my old go-to highlighter was the ABH Glow Kit, so I hope that says a lot!

Gives that fresh glow, youthful look. A little goes a long way.

This is my favorite highlighter. I usually get the manizer sister pallete but I usually just use this color so I opted for this one instead. I love it but the only thing is that the highlighter pan was detached from the compact but nothing super glue couldn't fix, that's the only reason I took off one star.

Very small

It is good, but was I bit small on my opinion, but my sister loved it very much

I again hopped on the bandwagon with another product. I guess the fact that it was sold out for a while and going for quite a bit more on ebay made me feel like I had to have it when it was back in stock. Its a great highlighter and the color is very pretty , I can see why everyone raves about it. the formula can be a bit powdery and it does have the slightest bits of glittery particles. Its not super creamy, fine milled powder like the Becca highlighters for example. Standalone, this is a great product but I will not be repurchasing it since the elf baked highlighter in moonlight pearls gives you the exact same color with what, in my opinion, is a better formula and better color payoff for.

I love it! I use MAC Face & Body C5. For my blush, Sleek Suede, which is so beautiful, nothing heavy on my skin. Sleek's Suede is a cream, tan and pink color and just gives me a hint of pink to my cheeks, nothing harsh, looks really natural. Atop the cheek bone I put the smallest amount of this highlighter and OMG, it makes me look sun kissed. A little goes a long way. I brush some on my cupids bow and center forehead. I swear the compliments were pouring in all last week. I just gentle swirl my blush brush over this highlighter one time and I look kissed by the sun, do not put too much on the brush or you will look ashy. I will have to order a back up just in case they discontinue this product or something. Worth every penny!
