Thin Lizzy 6 in 1 Professional Powder Set Review

I have quite fair skin and find that this is a product I have to use very sparingly otherwise I end up looking like an oompa loompa! I tend to only really use it on my nose & t-zone and only use a very,very light dusting

As a bronzer only, yes this is an ok product, but use in moderation. It is very easy to go from having a bronzed glow to orange. But the TV ads claiming it can be a foundation - no way! Unless you are after the orange oompa loompa look. The brushes disintergrate really quickly, and forever pulling the stray bristles off my face. The lip gloss that comes with it is disgusting, sticky mess. I did find the eyeliner a decent enough product. I would probably look at a different bronzer next time.

This product has been around for so long it must work for some people but I am definitely not one of them.

I have very pale skin and if used as an all-over this product turns me into something more suited to the Jersey or Geordie Shores than suburban New Plymouth.

I used up my compacts for the all-over body bronzing use. It's good for when you need to blend tan lines or when bronze face make up looks out of place against a white decolletauge (sp?). Very time consuming though and there are much better products to achieve this that stand up to daytime scrutiny, this was purely a dim lighting look for me.

My favourite part about Thin Lizzy is the brush which I am still to this day using years later with better blush and bronzers.

eh, i really dont like thin lizzy, it makes me orange!! ive tried it so many times in hoping that results will be nice..but sadly no, the bristles in the brush keep falling out too which is a pain. does cover like advertised on the ad.will not buy this ever again.

I haven't used this product for a couple of years now, but to the best of my knowledge, it hasn't really changed. I have quite fair skin and usually use liquid/cream foundations with light coverage, but decided to give this a go when they were running a 2 for 1 deal. I definitely wouldn't recommend it as a foundation - the product was far too orange for me, and I found it difficult to get natural looking coverage. As a bronzer, it applied quite nicely, but given the price, I'd rather just buy another brand of bronzer.

The 6 in 1 ad looks quite convincing but I used mine only a couple of times. Not sure if I applied it wrong or maybe there is something wrong with the product but the overall effect was not right. Made me look like a dark carrot.

I thought YAY!! I finally found a make-up that I could just splash on and go, perfect for someone with a busy schedule. Unfortunately, the powder made me look orange (like an oompa loompa) and my skin did not like it at all.... whats in that stuff??? Mine came with a lip gloss which was so sticky and my lips also flared up in an ugly, itchy rash. It also came with an eye liner, well, didn't even try that after the first two products failed. I was really disappointed as I so wanted it to work. I have heard some women rave about it so maybe it was just my sensitive skin but it just wasn't for me.

I started out using this years and years ago before I really knew anything about makeup and what else was out there. It was ok to use a young girl who didn't know better, but it is not something I would every repurchase now and I think the price is pretty hefty for what it is. I also think the 6 in 1 advertising is a bit ridiculous. It is a bronzer. Full stop. Also (on me) tends to be quite orangey looking. It isn't very easy to blend out either and can look quite patchy. Not for me! (anymore hehe).

I have used Thin Lizzy 6 in 1 for approximately 6 years instead of foundation as part of my day to day makeup regime. I tend to still use a foundation when going out for special ocassions but find Thin Lizzy meets all my requirements for everyday use. My skin tends to get dry when I use foundation and I have found using Thin Lizzy as a powder gives my complexion and even all over finish without drying it out. I also use the black eye pencil for my eyes as an added bonus and give the lip glosses to younger members of the family.

Like many reviewers below, this was one of the first makeup products I started out with, recommended by the beauty lady at the pharmacy. I used it for about a year, before I discovered better products and moved on, but I do occasionally use this when I feel the need for a bit of nostalgia.

If you're in any way fair, this is WAY too orangey and dark to use all over your face, even just as a light dusting of bronzer. I used this (lightly) around the edges of my face (doing the whole '3-E' routine) in an attempt to look a bit more defined. If I used it lightly enough I could kind of get away with it, but it is very orange-toned, plus it's slightly shimmery, so it's really not the best for any kind of contouring.

If you have a darker skintone, you could probably use this as a general bronzer/warm blush, but it just doesn't work for that on fairer skin.

You can do the whole "use as eyeshadow" thing, but to be honest, the colour isn't flattering on my eyes, and it just looked muddy and unappealing.

As for the things that come with the powder: the lipgloss is extremely thick and sticky (which does mean that it stays on forever), and has a strawberry scent. Not really my thing. The double-ended eyeliners are actually not bad - nothing out of the ordinary, or particularly long-lasting, but they're nice staples to have around. The sturdy metal tin is probably the best thing about the whole deal - I have a special edition one which is really handy for keeping bits and bobs in. :)

Overall: if you're willing to pay the rather large price, then I don't see any problem with trying it out, but I do think it's more likely to work for you if you don't have really fair skin.
