Mary-Lou Manizer



This is my all time favorite highlighter. This pressed powder has a golden, pearly finish which reflects the light and gives your skin a glowing, luminous look. It’s not too glittery and the powder is really fine- be careful of fallout with this one. It really compliments contouring and attracts attention to all the right spots. It can turn an everyday look into pure glamour!

It retails at David Jones for $34.95 but as you only need to use the tiniest amount of product it will last you a very long time.


This product has multiple uses. Here are some different placement options:
- cheekbones
- cupids bow
- brow bone
- collar bone
- eyelids (particularly inner corner)


A little of this highlighter goes a long way. Make sure you do your make-up in extremely good light to avoid over applying. I find applying with a stippling or fan brush is the best way because it gives you control over how much product you apply.
