What it is:A silky smooth pressed powder that
can be used as a highlighter, shimmer, and shadow.What
it does:This highlighter, shadow, and shimmer diffuses
light so your skin looks softer and younger while adding
a subtle glow. Layer this paraben- and talc-free formula
on your lids for luxe-looking lashes, sweep it on your
cheeks for a sexy sheen, or use it as an all-over
finishing touch before hitting the town. What else you
need to know:It comes in a sleek mirrored compact for
easy transport.
This lumanizer provided just the amount of shimmer and dimension to my skin that I was looking for without looking at all glittery. The amount of product is fairly generous as well. I would definitely recommend this product for 30-somethings like myself.

This product is excellent to use on the tops of you cheek bones and underneath your eyes. It also makes a great eyeshadow. It has become a product I just can't go without. Every time I wear it I get a ton of compliments. It really is the best luminizer you can buy.

YAY!- 02.13.10
Quick Take: soft shimmer, doesn't make me look oily
Okay, I have super oily skin but I always wanted a highlighter that doesn't make my skin look oily and shiny. I just wanted that nice, diffused glow. Thank goodness I took a chance on Mary-Lou Manizer! It's WONDERFUL! You can do an all-over the face or just highlight the T-zone. I like to put it all over my face and then use my blush. It gives the blush an extra punch=) SOOOO happy I bought this stuff! It's amazing! Also, a little goes a long way so you can use sparingly. Great value=) Thanks!!!

Best Multi-Task Luminizer- 02.05.10
Quick Take: soft shimmer, candlelight glow
As a self-proclaimed beauty junkie I have tried numerous highlighters and luminizers in various forms (cream, powder, liquid etc). In the end they were either too glittery or made me look oily - not the look I was seeking. So...I hesitated to try yet another one but boy I am so glad I did. This luminizer does exactly what it promises to do. It adds a nice candlelight glow - no sparkles or glitters. I use it on top of my cheekbones and on the center of my lids. It's the perfect shade, therefore it won't compete with your bronzer or blush. I am so thrilled that I FINALLY found a product that delivers as promised! Also the amount of product in the compact is very generous. This will last a long time but as soon as I run out I plan I purchasing it over and over again. I hope and pray it's never discontinued.

Oh it's great!- 01.21.10
Quick Take: soft shimmer, sheer coverage
This is a wonderful luminzer for me, it has ended my formerly never ending search for one. It's perfectly soft and smooth, doesn't cause my skin to break out, and leaves a wonderful shine that doesn't result in a disco-ball look, like some luminizers I've tried. And for the cost you get a lot of use from it (unless you're like me and had to leave it in your baggage when you flew, then dropped it on a hard surface with a hard impact, then broke your first compact and had to buy a new one when the solid bits all spilled out...). But I love it and intend to keep using it. It makes you glow!

Love it!- 01.12.10
Quick Take: soft shimmer, sheer coverage
This works so well to blend base powder underneath, and the shimmer is GORGEOUS! It's great value, and makes skin look radiant, like what you see in magazines! I'm pale, so I put this on over my cover-up and sweep some NARS "Orgasm" blush over my cheeks and forehead, and it works well altogether. * Just a caution - don't put on too much or your face will be really shimmery, just a gentle sweep over your forehead and cheeks is good, or if you're going somewhere at night, try all over, but don't overdo it!

Mary-Lou Marvellous- 01.08.10
Quick Take: soft shimmer
This is the first product I have used from this range and I am so pleased that I picked it up. I use it nearly everyday now as an eyeshadow and cheek highlighter on top of my regular bronzer. It is the prefect multiple-use product. Lovely and shimmery - but not too glitzy for daytime. Lasts a long time and a great price.

great for blending and under eyebrows- 12.21.09
Quick Take: soft shimmer, sheer coverage, great as an eyeshadow
I would never wear this on my face since it will probably make me look to chalky - but I highly recommend using this to blend the crease of your eyeshadow to right below your brows. The texture is very smooth and silky and does not look to shimmery if applied lightly with a medium size fluffy brush - I use the YSL cheek brush to apply this on my eyelids.

WOW!- 12.17.09
Quick Take: multipurpose, highlighter
I love this stuff! Comes in a very LARGE and adorable compact, and I love how many uses there are for it... I highlight below my brow with it while wearing other shadows, or if I'm in a hurry I just brush a bit of this on and it really wakes up the eyes... I also like to dab some in the inner corner to brighten them up. I've been using it to highlight my cheekbones daily, too, and it's so pretty! A+, HIGHLY recommend!
This is a cute compact filled with awesome Lou-Manizer. I use it as shadow base and a highlighter below the brow. I like to light up my sheer pink lipgloss with a touch of this right in the center of the lips. This is going to last forever there is so much...(Well maybe Not!) I hope there is more left when I run out... XO

Great illuminator and shadow in one!- 12.15.09
Quick Take: soft shimmer
I use this as both an eye shadow and highlighter. During the day, it's a great eye shadow and at night, I brush it above the cheekbone and mix it in a little with my blush and it gives me a great glow!

Mary Lou Manizer- 12.11.09
Quick Take: fantastic!
This product is amazing and I recommend this to anyone! Beautiful when a light or the sun hits it on your face. Gives an airbrush look and great for highlights and blendable with blush, eyeshadow, ect.
I love this compact. I use it as an eyeshadow and as a highlighter for my eyebrows and cheeks. It gives my skin a natural glow and even subdues the redness I often have on my cheeks. It's also a lovely natural-looking eyeshadow that helps brighten the eye area. Overall, it's an amazing product.

Quick Take: soft shimmer, sheer coverage
I've been looking for a luminizer for about a year that will complement my skin tone in the winter time when bronzer is too harsh over my foundation. This is the perfect color for winter skin! It allows your skin to look natural but with a subtle shimmer for intrigue.
