I really do not care much for Mary-Lou, but Cindy-Lou is gorgeous on me. I am quite fair, but the peachy glow this gives is perfect on my warm skin. I was probably sucked in by the redhead on the...

One of my all time favorite highlighters! I am a NW15-20 in Mac for reference, so fair with cool undertones. Cindy-Lou has the perfect pink soft shimmer (no glitter!), where I find most pink(ish)...

For reference I am about NC20-25. Light medium skin tone with yellow undertone. This I use as blush or a blush topper. A tad too dark for a highlight on my skin. Its fairly subtle, No visible...

I really like the balm as a brand and this is a great eyeshadow! The color is flattering, makes a subtile glow when used with a light hand. I do not like sparkle in my bronzer but on special...

I really like using this highlighter for my inner tear duct, brow bone, and Cupid's bow. I feel like it's a great shade and stands out nicely in those places.

Love. Especially when I'm traveling, it works for so many things. I'm too pale to use it as a highlighter, but it's great as a blush topper to pop out the apples of my cheeks, or as a straight...

I have both this and Mary-loumanizer from theBalm..I much prefer this shade, as its a more natural/pinky gold highlight, that's subtle but flattering on a woman over 40. I like to use it above or...

I really like this product! It's like a combined blush and highlighter which looks really pretty for a settle every day-make up look. I often forget I have it though, but when I use it it's great!

I have olive undertones, so it was kind of dumb of me to purchase this as a highlighter because of how much it stands out. However, this can be used as a glowy, understated blush. It gives a...

On my very fair skin it is too dark to be a real highlighter on my skin, but it makes a beautiful peachy-pink blush. I tend to apply it to add some extra wow to my blush and then also apply a...
