Thin Lizzy 6 in 1 Professional Powder Set Review

I used to use this alot when I was 18 and clubbing. I remember being so excited to try this as there was sooo much hype for it. The hype was wrong. Going out at night with thin lizzy on my face was fine because it was dark. But daytime.....apply a little to much and you look like an oompah loompah. That was then now I'm 28 I thought I'd give it another try. I found if i did apply just a small amount, 2-3 hours later my face would be a completely different colour and I'd look dirty. So I'd end up rubbing it all off. On the plus side I did use it on my legs for an instant tan. So thin lizzy is not for me unfortunately. Hopefully it will be improved in the future and I might give it ANOTHER try.

This product doesn't really work well with my skin. I really love the Thin Lizzy powder BEFORE they came up with this one. I mean, it glides on perfectly which is what everyone loves about Thin Lizzy but for me, it was very orangey and just made my face looks like a pumpkin. Even with less application, it just left orange swipes or orange areas on my face. Perhaps I wasn't applying it properly but I just feel if its too much of a hassle to make the product do what you want.. then its a no go. Thanks.

I have quite fair skin and found the shade that I bought wasn't right. It looked quite orangey and went on patchy. However, because I bought it as a set I also got the gloss, eyeliner/brow pencil, and brush. I still use the pencil and brush (though absolutely hated the sticky gloss).

I know this product is advertised as a 6 in 1 powder which is supposed to be used as a blusher, bronzer, eye shadow, face framer, contour and lip colour. But when using this, all I really used it for was a bronzer. It's too shimmery to use to contour or anything. Also saying that it can be used as an eyeshadow and lip colour is really over stretched. It is what it is really. It does give a sun kissed glow though leaving a very natural glow and look which I love.

I personally don't like this as an all over powder foundation, It applies quite heavily making you look like you've just slapped a whole heap of nutella of your face =/ BUT, I love this to even out the complexion (of my foundation) down my neck. It's amazing for that purpose, and that purpose alone. It's a terrible bronzer, terrible eye shadow and a terrible lip colour. But amazing for evening out your complexion :)

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.

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.

Found that it didn't live up to it's advertising. I have sun damaged skin and it certainly hasn't hidden the blemishes unless I put it on really thickly

I love the Thin Lizzy mineral foundation but their 6 in 1 powder just isn't for me!! I'm quite pale so I find that it just makes my face look orange or dirty/ muddy and I definitely wouldn't use it as an eyeshadow as it does the same thing to my lids.. Maybe its a better product for those with more olive skin as I do know some people who rave about it..
