Quick Take: soft shimmer, sheer coverage
This stuff is awesome. i love this, i seriously don't know how i survived before i had it. i use this as a cheek highlight and to highlight under the brow bone. its not overly chunky sparkly like others that ive tried. lots of product also. a little goes a long way!

Review 2 for Mary-Lou Manizer
best luminizer ever
-04.15.12
Quick Take: soft shimmer
i've tried a bunch of brands and this is the best. all of the other powder luminizers are just sparkles, but this one's actually like a pearly sheen. i like it a lot since i use a powder foundation so it doesn't mess it up. this is way better than the tarte amazonian clay one that i last tryed. love this!

Quick Take: soft shimmer
I like this "lou-manizer" because if gives you that dewy glow on your cheek bones. I bought this Dec of 2011 and I still have plenty of product left after 16 months of everyday use.

Review 5 for Mary-Lou Manizer
-03.23.12
Quick Take: soft shimmer, sheer coverage
I have gotten so much use out of this product. I just sweep a little under my eyes and eyebrows. It's great over blush also and it lasts forever. However, I would not recommend this for going out at night, if you are going to take pictures because it can make you look shiny or sweaty.

A must for me
-03.04.12
Quick Take: soft shimmer
I love this product. I use it for pretty much all that it can be used for and now I cant be without it. I love TheBalm and the whole old school look to their products also. And Mary-Lou does not disappoint.

Review 8 for Mary-Lou Manizer

All Time Favorite
-03.01.12
Quick Take: soft, almost creamy, complimentry, fine powder, versatile
I own 3 of these. It is the most beautiful highlighter ive ever seen. The shimmer is so fine that it truly creates a sheen. I use it in the corners of my eyes, Brow bone, cheek bone, down the nose, forehead, chin and. sometimes in the center of my lid for a pop of highlight. You can go soft for a light sheen or layer for a great eye shadow.
Truly versatile and a great buy.

Review 9 for Mary-Lou Manizer
The best highlighter ever !!!!
-02.21.12
Quick Take: soft shimmer
I started using this about two weeks ago after reading a ton of reviews I decided to try it and I'm glad I did. A little goes a long way. I use a small blush brush so I don't over apply, it looks very nice as an eyeshadow too.

Review 10 for Mary-Lou Manizer
beautiful!
-02.21.12
Quick Take: soft shimmer
i absolutely adore this highlight. a little goes such a long way! i bought this product along with the mini kabuki brush. i find it sometimes a little to shimmery and can make my face look more oily than anything else. So be careful and use a very light hand. besides that it has a champagne...golden glow which is radiant for all skin tones! my mom wants to buy this for herself:P overall very versatile and worth the money (if youre looking for a specific highlight)

Review 11 for Mary-Lou Manizer
Did not work for me
-02.19.12
Quick Take: too sheer
I love TheBalm eyeshadows and I had heard rave reviews on this. I am a luminizer junkie! The product is well packaged and the amount of product is great, but it did not do anything special at in my opinion.
I am very pale and I thought this would be a great everyday product, hence forgiving the price, but I think this product is average to slightly below par. I have one product from a well know brand for one dollar that is longer lasting and better payoff.
I hope it works for you if you try it. I returned it.

Great Highlighter
-02.15.12
Quick Take: soft shimmer, sheer coverage
This is a really nice highlighter. I bought this along with Benefit's Watt's Up and prefer this one. It makes a great eyeshadow and looks lovely on your cheekbones. The packaging is super cute and I love the mirror.

Review 16 for Mary-Lou Manizer
My favorite luminizer so far...
-02.10.12
Quick Take: soft shimmer
I went ahead and gave this product 5 stars because of the way it performs. It gives a nice dewy, healthy sheen to the cheeks. It can also double as a highlighter shadow. It's silky smooth and looks amazing under lights. I will be returning it for a new one though, b/c mine arrived totally broken up and for the price I want one in-tact. I used this product in conjunction with the Sun Disk in Aruba, and Nars Orgasm on the apples of my cheeks. Gorgeous!

Review 17 for Mary-Lou Manizer
Subtle glow
-02.09.12
Quick Take: soft shimmer
Lovely highlighter, it gives a great glow without heavy glitter. My only thing was that the pan was no longer glued to the bottom and it was rusted underneath. Sephora customer service was awesome as usual and fixed the problem but I just wonder how old this was lol. But either way its lovely :)

Review 18 for Mary-Lou Manizer
glamour in a compact!
-02.03.12
Quick Take: soft shimmer, blendable, flattering
I don't often wear a highlighter but when I do, this is one I reach for most often. It can be toned down to be subtle enough for daytime wear or applied more heavily for fully on evening glamour and glow. It works as a great eye shadow and can really light up the inner corners of your eyes. It's great to create a pouty lip or to enhance the shape of your lips if used very, very lightly on the cupid's bow. I'm no spring chicken but I find this highlighter very wearable. And you get a lot of product for a pretty good price.

Review 19 for Mary-Lou Manizer
good highlighter, just not for me
-01.25.12
Quick Take: soft shimmer, sheer coverage
This works really well for a highlighter. I think the color is really pretty and a little goes a long way. I returned this item however because I didn't need it. I have combination skin leaning more on the oily side.. and so this actually made my face look even worse when it would get shine.... all in all
I thought It was a great product.. Just not something I particularly needed for $24 a tin. If you like highlighters, I would recommend this
