The Balm - Mary-Lou Manizer Review


I think I have found the best highlighter/illuminator on the market, well out the ones I have tried this is by far my favourite. 

According the The Balm who make this product, their description is;
'Meet Mary-Lo Manizer, a seemingly innocent honey-hued luminizer that catches everybody's eye. This highlighter, shadow and shimmer diffuses light so your skin looks softer and younger while adding a subtle glow'. I used this product on Nicki's cheekbones (pictured above), as you can see her cheekbones are accentuated and highlighted but still look very natural at the same time. 

I have used other powdered highlighters and the texture has not been quite as soft and lovely as this one, it's so highly pigmented you only need a small amount. Even though it looks quiet shimmery in the packaging it doesn't once applied to the skin. The key to using this product is blending it well to achieve a natural looking glow. It can be also used on the eyes or all over the face if you want to achieve an all over illuminated look, I prefer to use it on the cheekbones, centre of the nose and on the cupids bow to highlight these areas.

Another great aspect of this product is the value for money, it's a large pan and because you only need such a small amount it lasts forever, I have found it wears well and lasts all day. The only downfall is it only comes in the one colour light gold/champagne, which may not suit some darker skin tone.

The packaging is gorgeous and price is reasonable, you can purchase this great product at David Jones for $34.95
