We’re always looking to declutter our lives, but after all, who isn’t? It seems most of Us have been hit with the Marie Kondo bug and haven’t been the same since! Unfortunately, the “magic of tidying-up” isn’t always a reality. With our jam-packed schedules and hectic lives, rarely do we check off our to-do lists or make “cleaning” our top priority.

Our chaotic weeks also leave our makeups bags a mess. Just opening up our daily totes reminds us that it’s completely stuffed with skincare products and makeup we most likely don’t need. But paring down our makeup isn’t so easy, unless we have a great multitasker we can rely on. Looking for a quick-and-easy solution? Start by swapping that huge palette out for this under-$20 product that can be used not one but three different ways!

The theBalm Manizer by theBalm Cosmetics is our top pick for anyone who’s looking for that sunkissed, glow-from-within look. Over 1,000 reviewers obsess over this product, but one of them summed up what’s so special about this luminizer by saying “you need it!”

It comes available in three silky-smooth shades. First, there’s Cindy-Lou, which is the lightest of the bunch. The Mary-Lou shade is a medium bronze and the Betty-Lou hue is the darkest of the three. Every shade gives a luminous goddess look, but this product is actually a three-in-one! No matter which shade we select, it can be used as a bronzer, shadow and shimmer and here’s how!

Highlighter: Is anyone looking to shine bright like a diamond? If so, this luminizer will do the trick! It’s the eye-catching, light-reflecting powder that will have all of the compliments rolling in. Just simply apply any of the three colors to the cupid’s bow, browline or cheekbones. Reviewers were left speechless over how sensational the shimmer was. One reviewer said the champagne-like pigments seamlessly blended onto the skin and emphasized their features brilliantly. Another reviewer said the reflective light had just the right amount of shine.

Eyes/Cheeks: So many other reviewers loved how this product also doubled as their new eyeshadow. The lighter tones were great as a highlighter and the darker was perfect when looking to layer some color onto our lids. The darker options can even double as a contour when sweeping it all over cheekbones or foreheads. One reviewer could not contain their excitement over how this product gave their skin a bronzed-goddess look.

All Over: Looking to dazzle? If so, use any of the three shades all over the face! Whether wearing solo or on top of our makeup, it will make each day shine a little brighter. Reviewers loved the natural glow it added into their day-to-day routines. One reviewer said it was the one-stop shop for their entire makeup routine while another reviewer couldn’t get past how shimmery, high-quality and longlasting the pigments were without the need to reapply during the day.
