I've used this product quite a while back and honestly speaking, it did not help me at all. I have really oily skin and I feel that it did help control shine. It did not provide any coverage for me so a big no no from me. However, I've got a lot of friends who have this as their holly grail products. I guess this is one of those products where you just love it or hate it!

I've been using this bronzer since I was around 13 or 14. I'm 23 now and tbh I still love it and reach for it daily! I use this every time I do my make up to give myself a bit of colour/glow. I use the shade dark which is perfect on me (I'm NC40) and doesn't turn orange thank goodness! It's my holy grail all over bronzer and I will keep repurchasing since I still haven't found anything better! I have oily skin and it works great for me - no shine at the end of the day and only has a very light shimmer.
Tips: Looks pretty as an eyeshadow too!
Yip it works as a bronzer and it does an acceptable job as long as you use a light hand. I have used it as a contour and blusher too - that is how I most often use it. It isn't 'sparkly' like some bronzers can be which I like. I don't like it on my lips though - a powder on lips is a weird concept for me - even mixed with gloss. Eye shadow? Sure I guess but I would much rather use something else. So all in all i think it is ok but there are better individual products on the market.
I barely see the product on my face nor can I notice a difference before or after I put it on, I can see it easily on my brush but not on my face, I have quite fair skin and am kind of mad that I spent my money on this as it didn't work for me.
Personally i do not like this product as when i use a tiny bit i still look caked faced. Also it doesn't stay on very well. I used to use this when i didn't know much about make-up but now that time has passed and i have found a lot better solutions for me and my skin.
As an ex staff member of the Thin Lizzy franchise I can tell you that unlike the TV adverts this product is definitely NOT for everyone. While it can look amazing on a small few, I would advise to treat with caution. My greatest success with this product has merely been to use it in very small amounts for contour to accentuate and highlight the cheekbones, and always well blended with other more sophisticated brands of makeup. Experience with makeup artistry and techniques is key for making this product look it's best. It's RRP is obviously inflated for effect and I can assure there are much better items on the market for less then half the cost.
Tips: Use in very small amounts in conjunction with other foundations and always blend throughly
This is an awesome product and I feel this is given to girls just starting out with make up. It's a 6 n 1 so it does everything and takes up little to no space in your handbag. Is an absolute gem but I feel like once you've used this you start getting more into make up and start upgrading to the high end brands and start collecting the products that you'd use for thin Lizzy. In English, thin Lizzy acts as a contour, lip colour and eye shadow. Over time u don't use thin Lizzy as a contour coz you'd upgrade to the ABH powder contour kit. Like that. It's the beginners prod to make up.
I wouldn't use this on my face apart from maybe a little bit as a highlighter. The "illuminating" particles are too big and make you sparkle instead of glow.
On the body it is okay as people don't tend to look at your body so closely. Would be good on your legs to give you a bit of a tanned look as well as covering bruises, veins, etc.
I was given one of these in my early teens, oh those were the days! Sun in and thin lizzie!!! It is far to sparkly for me, and let's face it, unless you have a very specific skin tone, you'll end up looking cakey and orange. It's very easy to be heavy handed with it, which you generally can't come back from ;)
Tips: I didn't mind using a little bit on the eyelids, but that's about it. Tap off any excess product in your brush before applying to the face.
This stuff made me look rather orange, I didn't notice how bad until I saw photos, and this was using the light one, not good not good at all, just got worse over time.
