The original Shimmer Brick Compact. This shimmering, brush-on powder creates a deep, bronzy glow. Works well with neutral and deep blush shades.

Sweep the Face Blender Brush through all five shades and dust lightly on cheekbones after blush. Focus on applying shimmer on the top of cheekbones.

Shimmer sensation!

My first ever Bobby Brown product, I brought one off trademe that was barely used, the photo doesn't do it justice!

It is very pigmented, a small amount goes a long way, you can build up the colour as much as you like and its easy to blend. I used to use this as an eyeshadow for the inner corners of my eyes and under the arch of my brow. It looks great putting a small amount on your cupids bow, this product is so versatile! Sadly last year it dropped off my counter and smash the shimmer brick, I have recently purchased the Chichi shimmer brick which is good but not as amazing as the Bobby Brown highlighter. Its on my list of things to buy again, I would highly recommend it to anyone who is wanting to purchase a powder highlighter, this is the best quality highlighter I have tried and worth the money if you can afford it.

Tips: You can use this highlighter on the inner corners of your eye, above the cupids bow, in the middles of your lipstick, under your eyebrow arch, I also liked to put this on the out side points of my eyebrows, and across my collar bones, this shimmer brick has so many uses, so versatile and easy to carry

A great all round multi-purpose product

I have recently purchased this and am in love! I've found so many different uses and looks that I can do with this product, depending on what colours you swirl together to get a highlighting bronzing effect, or using each shade separately as eyeshadows and a brow bone highlighter. The colour pay off is great, such gorgeous shades in the brick. The shimmer is amazing without looking chunky. Well worth the investment in my opinion.

What a bargain for $65.99!

I bought the Bronze Shimmer brick seriously about 6 years ago and its still going strong even though I have used it to death! At the time I bought it for $99 and thought I had got my moneys worth but now that it is a lot cheaper I would 110% recommend. The powder is super fine so you end up with a glossy shimmer rather than powdery and each individual stripe can be used as eye shadow wet or dry too. So versatile and beautiful on all skin tones.

Tips: Use wet for an intense colour on the eyes

Long lasting

A good quality shimmer brick. A little on the expensive side compared to others on the market but you definitely get your monies worth out of it. I use it all year around, summer use is to enhance a 'summer glow', winter use is more for a special occasion. Goes on lightly and can be built up to an all over sun kissed look, as a blush or as a shimmer across the cheekbones. Colour blends easily and I don't find the brick loses too much powder so next to no wastage. Great with different types of blush brush, small, medium, large.

Tips: Take your time in applying it, doesn't build up in an instant so no worry about over doing your blush. Use the lightest shimmer colour as a highlighter under your brows to define their shape.

Simply Beautiful

I've never been much of a highlighter person, being an oily-skinned girl in my mind shiny was never a good thing. I've been playing around with various highlighting products this year and after hearing sooo many good things about Bobbi Brown's Shimmer Brick I had to give it a go. I admit I didn't pay full price for mine, and before using it I wouldn't have done but with how much I love it I really thing it's worth the investment.

This is the first Bobbi Brown product I have owned and I was impressed by the quality of the packaging, sleek and well-made with no unnecessary dazzle, it lets the product speak for itself and it's sturdy enough to withstand travel.

The shimmer brick is made up of five shimmering powders, a white and four bronzes. The product is very fine and pigmented, a little goes a very long way. Being an amateur I was worried I'd go overboard but it's incredibly easy to blend in and create a really nice glow.

I like to apply this using a rounded kabuki brush after I apply my bronzer and blush, running the brush lightly through the brick, picking up a little of each colour and then brushing it across my cheekbones. I've also used this as an eyeshadow palette when travelling as the colours are such pretty, shimmering bronzes and you can create so many looks from them.

I normally wouldn't spend so much on a highlighter but this product is so much more and really takes my makeup to the next level. When I'm looking less than fab, this is the product I reach for to perk me up (or at least look like it!). Because of how little product you use at a time I see this lasting a very long time and I highly recommend it for anyone wanting a really lovely highlighter.

Brick magic

This stuff is the stuff of gods! Its spreads on beautifully and its even. Doesn't leave the skin looking strange by too much coverage either. I have used this product for years.

Shimmer brick in shade beige

I love this product, it has multiple uses, I use it as a bronzer or light blush on cheekbones, eyes and as a highlighter. Gives a lovely soft shimmer, not a lot of powder fallout, and it’s lasted well time wise but also with travel and not broken up when getting carted round in a makeup case. I use with a blush brush or eyeshadow brush and both work fine.

Tips: Put on in a well lit space, to get best impact of shimmer effect.

Consistent winner

I’m not particularly good at applying makeup but this product provides an easy solution. And it goes a really long way!

Tips: Try not to just use the middle as it’ll run out ahead of the top/bottom which makes it a bit awkward

Lasts the distance

This product not only makes you look amazing but it lasts forever!! I've had it for years, and it's still as good as the first day I brought it.
