theBalm Mary-Lou Manizer Highlighter, Shadow & Shimmer - Gold
Assuming this industry favorite isn’t already in your vanity, we suggest you stock up ASAP. We’re obviously talking about the theBalm Mary-Lou Manizer Highlighter, Shadow & Shimmer-Gold. Popular amongst millennials, this honey-hued luminizer is an ideal middle-of-the-road hue that looks natural on just about everyone. Here’s the catch though. This subtle shimmer is densely pigmented so you won't have to worry about a meltdown should you choose to strobe to galactic levels. The only thing that’s gonna shine brighter than you on that dance floor, are your killer cheekbones.
