This loose mineral eyeshadow from The Balm is utterly gorgeous, and quite versatile. It is a light, super-shimmery gold color that can be blended as light as you want, or built up as heavy as you want. Applied heavily, it is very similar to the color of their Mary Lou-Manizer. This shadow is finely milled, soft and long-lasting. It also is pretty layered over other eyeshadows. It makes a great eye and face highlighter. It does not irritate my sensitive eyes, and has no discernible fragrance. The packaging is a sturdy plastic jar with a tight-fitting lid, and a cute retro pinup girl on the top.
