Hello world!
Hope everyone is having a marvelous Wednesday and enjoying the hot weather (at least, the hot weather in the Northeast)! I have heard a so many great reviews on The Balm Cosmetics's Mary-Lou Manizer aka The Luminizer, so I knew I had to try it out for myself. Lucky for me, Hautelook was having a sale on some of the Balm's great products, so I knew I had to snatch one up for myself! Here she is:
Summary (Mary-Lou Manizer aka The Luminizer):
- Highly pigmented, so a little goes a long way.
- Can be used as a highlighter/shimmer/eyeshadow
- Price: $24.00 on The Balm Cosmetics's website. Get it here!
My experience:
So at a first glance, the compact looks slightly dark, maybe darker than a highlighter. Take a look:
Seeing this, I was a little nervous, thinking how can I use this as a highlighter? That's when I decided to test it our on my hand, just to see how much of a shimmer I would get. Amazingly, this is what I got, and you will notice how fair-skinned I am, so take that into consideration, too! Looky:
So, forgive how scaly my hand is, but look at that! Isn't it beautiful?? I used a highlighting brush to apply it on the tops of my cheekbones and down the center of my nose (to make my big shnoz look smaller) and found that this highlighter was so pigmented that I had to use a clean makeup brush to swipe a bit of it off my cheekbones. I've never had to do that with any other powdered highlighter. It did apply really smoothly though, and I didn't notice any scent, which I also enjoyed. I haven't tried this out on my eyelids yet as a shadow, but I do think that this would also be great in the corners of the eyes.
At this price, I don't know why you aren't rushing to get your hands on one! Not only is it affordable, but will look beautiful on all skin tones. Let me know what you think if you get one! Until next time!
Peace and Love,
Farrah <3
