Thin Lizzy 6 in 1 Professional Powder Set Review

I tried thin lizzys before the diffrent colour were availible and wasnt to fond of it, the more you tried to achive a full coverage the darker and heavier it began to look and feel, the new colours though are more suitible as it is more lighter and not as much is needed if you use the Concealer

Once upon a time, I bought this thinking piece of cake, I can use this like a pro. Wrong first few times I went a little orange, ok more than a little on my pale face. So I put this to the side in my makeup collection and left it. Then I started temping in a relaxed call centre and needed a not really made up look. I started with BB cream to hide faults followed by mineral foundation then I use the thin lizzy powder on cheeks and eyes, blending lots with the brush. Then without adding any more powder to the brush, I run it over my face to spread the sparkle lightly. This seems to do the job for me. The eyeliner doesn't seem to last all day for me but it annoys my eyes a little on occasion so I don't wear it that much. I do wear contacts, so that doesn't help matters. The lip gloss is sticky but no worse than some of the others in the market. I have used the lip gloss for a moisturiser spot treatment if I think that some skin is looking a little dry and I can't be bothered getting my normal stuff, it seems to work ok and you only need a little bit. Would I buy this again? probably not as by the time I am finished both compacts that came in the kit I probably should have thrown out the second one for being too old. There are other products that suit my skin colouring a little better than this one.

Thin lizzy was one of the very first make up products I ever used. I think it was perfect for when I was just starting out (used this ages 9-14) as I was just finding my way around make up and to be honest didnt really need make up as I was young. It helps provide a natural glow and base for people who dont need much coverage(or any coverage). In terms of would I use it now? Probably not as I dont think it is a product that can or does much wonders for me personally, especially after I have discovered the big wide world of makeup! In saying that my mum still loves it and it is one of her staple products (though my mum has been blessed with beautiful skin!). So I would strongly recommend it if you are young or just starting out and want to get the hang of things.

I was so super excited about buying this product as I have badly uneven skin tone and scars so was hoping it would even it all out. If I use it on it's own it doesn't work so well but over the top of other make-up it does help to smooth out the blemishes and uneven skin. The lip gloss is awful it is like glue. The eyeliner is great and I love it - the only eyeliner I am using at the moment. I like the softness of the brush. As for the thin lizzy being able to be an all over bronzer for your body I don't believe that at all because I have tried it several times on my legs and it has failed everytime - I am very fair. Overall it is not too bad a product but doesn't really do what it states it does.

I didn't persist with this one for too long. Every time i used it on my face i ended up with the worst oil slick followed by pimples! Also tried to use it as a bronzer on my legs once, but gave up after the 6th application with nothing but shimmery legs. I'd recommend it to someone with normal/dry skin maybe,but def' not oily skin!

This stuff is dreadful as a foundation, but would make a good bronzer. Expensive considering it's not a high-end brand, and the product quality is not good.

Its an OK product. Not streaky or too shimmery and does minimise redness. Its travel friendly and compact. I only bought this once and never replaced it so its not a must have. If anyone was in the market for this type of product however id recommend Bahama mama by the balm over this any day.

This is a very average product, yes i would use but would not make it my first choice, i think the advertising definately over-rates this item. I do however know lots of girls who like this product, it just doesnt do much for me.
