theBalm Cosmetics Mary-Lou Manizer Highlighter

This has been my go to highlighter for years even before highlighting became a “thing”. I maybe bought my first one in 2010?

It’s the perfect color (for me), blends into my skin seamlessly so it doesn’t look like a stripe, and the packaging is adorable. It also lasts well on my skin throughout the day compared to other highlighters (for some reason my skin eats up the Becca ones on …Read more

love it so much ❤️❤️❤️

This is a gorgeous and intense highlighter, BUT my main issue was that it did not stay put. At the end of the night it would have pretty much disappeared from my cheekbones and ended up all over my face (even though I did NOT touch my face at all) and it would make my skin/foundation appear heavy and awful. Also, from an angle where you didn't see the shine it appeared a little ashy …Read more

I absolutely adore this highlighter - I just wish it wasn't so expensive but it's one of my favourite ones I've ever tried.

Mary Lou was the first higher end highlighter I ever used. I was skeptical about it at first but after a few uses, I was sold.

It’s a very natural highlight but definitely buildable, although a little bit light I feel like it would fit a lot of skin tones.

Great highlighter! Not too glittery just gives a gorgeous sheen wherever you apply it. Love it for the inner corners of my eye as well as cheekbones and cupids bow. Will definitely repurchase.

This is my favorite highlighter ever! It has a beautiful shine that is perfect for any occasion. It is perfectly dewy....not cakey at all. Some highlighters show imperfections when it comes to the way they make my pores look, but not this one. The packaging is adorable, and also sturdy enough ( some of my products break so easily... even expensive brands!)
It came with a mini …Read more

This is my HG face highlighter! The Mary-Lou is definitely for warm skin toned gals. If you are cool toned you will need to get the Cindy-Lou which is the sister highlighter. But back to this product, Mary-Lou...holy cannoli! Does it ever make a beautiful finish and my last step in my make-up. It is completely buildable and you can make it as subtle or as dramatic as you want and totally …Read more
