I'm looking to buy a powder highlight for my cheeks. I prefer something not too sparkly and something pearly as to golden. I wasn't sure if I should buy a ABH Illuminator like Starlight for $28 or the Manizer palette with three different illuminators for $28. Any suggestions?

Or, what is the best powder highlight from ULTA?

Hmm I guess it depends. I don't use ABH because of ingredients and personally like the balm powder highlights such as Mary loumanizer. It really does a long time but it is pretty pigmented. You do have to use a really light hand with it.

Mary Loumanizer is gorgeous but I also love my Laura Geller baked highlighter in Toasted Coconut too.

I would go with the manizer palette because you get more for the money and they're also really good highlighters

I have TheBalm Mary LouManizer and it's amazing! Very pigmented and goes on smoothly! It doesn't look flakey on my skin which is normally a problem for me. I would say go for Mary Loumanizer :)
