Mary-Lou Manizer is a powder highlighter that claims to add a subtle yet healthy glow to the skin. It's a champagne shade that is suitable for an entire range of skin tones, but will probably work best for those with yellow undertones.
It comes packaged in a silver compact that has a mirror inside. The lid contains the retro style that theBalm use in their packaging (similar to Soap & Glory and Benefit if you've never seen theBalm style packaging before).
Application and Results:
To apply, you need to take your brush and lightly apply the highlighter in a c shape around the top of your cheekbones and up to the temple. In addition, add some down the centre of your nose, on the cupids bow of your lip, under your eyebrows and in the corner of your eyes. This particular highlighter can also be used as an eyeshadow.
Before you begin to try this, you should note that it is quite highly pigmented. You don't need much of this highlighter to get the perfect glow. A quick swirl across the powder with a brush and you should be good to go. It is also buildable, so if you want a more intense glow then you can do that too. This makes it a versatile little product as it's perfect for whatever look you are trying to achieve.
Mary-Lou Manizer blends super easily, so you won't have to worry about any streaks on the skin. The glitter is also really subtle so there isn't any huge chunks to make you look more like a disco ball than a glowing goddess.

As mentioned above, an extra bonus of this highlighter is that it can double up as an eyeshadow. When worn on the eyes I find the longevity is just as good as when on the cheeks, and it is great for a natural look.

Nice in depth review! I need to just buy it already.
ReplyDeleteI have the Mary-Lou Manizer too and I agree, it is the best highlighter that I've got in my collection and the one I reach for 99% of the time. It just makes me so happy every time I see it! I got a little bit confused at the start of your post because the wording of it made it seem like you didn't it like and I had to see why. I love this post, and it's reminded me that I need to upload a review on this baby too!
