Very Disappointing - Light colour is actually very dark, looks like had a fake tan – Very Disappointing - Light colour is actually very dark, looks like had a fake tan. Bought it in offer from Thin lizzy website (buy one get one). Being not sure which shade to go for asked to send me one light and one dark. The light itself is actually very dark and it can only be used as eye shadow not as a powder for face. It would not suit my skin tone, makes it look dark, even when I use the light shade.
Purchased in at Thin Lizzy for $29.99.

The one and only – The only powder after which I stopped my search for any other similar products. It is easy on the skin, it's impressive because it lets you layer it. It is super pressed which controls how much product goes on your brush in one dip. I love it. I personally used it for framing, cheekbones, even out face neck and decollete complexion. It's my year 9 with thin Lizzy pressed powders and I wouldn't change it for anything else!!! I encourage all teen girls to learn layering with thin Lizzy as it is so easy yet effective and you only need to do so little with your face to look impressive.

I have used this powder for years. It was ok when I was younger but now I am over 70 I look more wrinkled when wearing it. Definitely not good for older skin. Thin lizzie should introduce something for us older women. Not concentrating on the young skin only. I won't buy this again. Disappointed. Show details
Love it! – I don't use much makeup and love just a light brush over of my face on a daily basis. When I do use proper makeup, I use this as a blush/bronzer and to add colour to my face when I have a tan on the rest of my body. It's super light, so not useful for coverage, but if you want something just light enough to give you an overall glow without being too heavy and evening up skin tone, this is perfect.

Worthless – Pure crap. Only used it about 3 times and hated it. Thought I'd give it another go tonight, opened the compact and the whole lot fell out in the basin. Good job, saved me throwing this utter rubbish, and overpriced rubbish btw, out Show details
In-depth reviews
Give it a fair go – Okay, I can see both sides of the reviews I’ve read. Despite one reviewer constantly saying it’s not a concealer, it’s an enhancer, Thin Lizzy do actually promote this product as a concealer on the promotional video – they don’t use the word concealer, although they do claim it will cover tattoos, blemishes, redness, dark under eyes etc. It WON’T.… Read more
I rated it lower because of this.
The first time I used it, I too looked like an Oompah Loompah. I thought they must have put a dark compact in my kit by mistake, but it was definately the light product. I took the advice of the Thin Lizzy consultants and tried again and by the third try, it was just right. If you look like an Oompah Loompah it’s because you’ve used too much product, probably because you’re trying to cover up something – give up on that. I have olive skin and used the Light version and found that even using layer after layer and getting darker and darker, it wasn’t going to cover up anything.
Yes, the lip gloss is sticky, but I don’t mind that since it looks great. It does have a slight smell, but I wouldn’t have noticed if a reviewer hadn’t mentioned it.
To avoid the Oompah Loompah look and get the best results that are possible from this product, these are my tips:
• Less is more
• Use it over the top of your regular concealer
• Don’t use it all over the face, only on areas that you want to highlight
• Use make-up brushes for your eyeliner and lips for more control
• Blend into the neck, for a more natural look
If you can’t get it right, I suggest that you have it applied by someone else before you give up on it, preferably a consultant in a store.
I wore this to work for the first time after two weeks Christmas holidays (at home) and got a number of comments that I looked lovely, healthy and refreshed and that I must have had a great break. It’s our secret :)
Good for a light/natural look – After reading the reviews I was hesitant on buying this product, but wanted to try it out. I bought the thin lizzy 6-in-1 in light as well as the mineral foundation in minx (which I'll review separately). On the whole, I quite like this little kit, and is ideal for me to bring into work each early morning for a quick makeup session. As I'm up… Read more
at 5:30am and need to be out the door by 6am (and in the office by 7am) this is a good all-rounder kit for just a touch of makeup once I get to work.
The bronzer is quite nice, and while I know the commercials say one could use it as an all face foundation, I wouldn't, it's waay too dark (and the instructions don't say to use it in this way anyways). However, it's good as use for eyeshadow, blush/contouring and lip cover.
I actually like the lipgloss, I don't mind the sticky texture and it smells great.
The pencils are standard and do the job, it's nice to have a choice of brown/black, I can use the brown for my brows as well as liner.
The brushes are nice as well and do a good job, haven't had any issues so far.
I think the thing to remember as this isn't meant for high-end make up looks but it's great for an easy everyday look that doesn't require too much effort. For someone who works in academia and doesn't necessarily need a full-face of makeup, but likes to wear it occasionally, this is quite light and works well with their foundation.
Would I change anything?
I think the kit could benefit from a little compact eyelash curler and some mascara. Then its complete and great for travelling. I also think that a kit based on colour (so minx, duchess etc) that would include the foundation and concealer alongside everything else, as well as the options to purchase these separately would be ideal.
No more cake face! – I was hesitant of buying this due to it's price. I have medium oily skin so a foundation that doesn't clog my skin or add to it's normal oil was great to find. I bought the Thin Lizzy compact mineral foundation in the shade Bella. I started off by gathering as much info from the net to see how others where applying it, as everyone's skin types are… Read more
different and wanted real people's reviews- not the stuff they show on TV or Infomercials.
I found that washing your face with a mild soft soap/body wash before using the foundation was a good idea- I used Palmolive Naturals Body Wash Pomegranate & Mango and washed my face. Then I used Bio Oil as my primer/moisturiser as they advise you to apply before you put your mineral foundation on. With the Bio Oil you can apply just a tiny bit on your eyes, nose and forehead and spread it evenly as it's very absorbent and will spread evenly with just a bit.
I then applied the Thin Lizzy concealer in the shade Hoola- just on my problem areas and only a little dab on my hand and then using a small brush I dabbed it on. (patting on your concealer is better than smearing it on with your hand). If you have circles under your eyes and want to cover them but make your lines less visible try using a dab of Bio Oil mixed with your concealer and patting it under your eyes. (Also good for crows feet and upper eye lids).
I then applied a small amount of Thin Lizzy compact mineral foundation in the shade Bella on to my cheeks first and working the brush in a circular motion all over one side of my face, I then applied the same amount on the other side of my face and worked it in. I found it amazing that you only need such little amounts of the mineral foundation to work in and and blend! I blended for about 3-4 minutes and found it to be very effective coverage. I have scars on my cheeks from falling on a rose bush so I want to hide that but never found a foundation that did that without making my skin feel like a cake and later adding to pimples!
Thin Lizzy foundation works pretty good on me, I haven't needed to re apply any on during the day so far as my techniques of using Bio Oil before putting it on seems to soak in the mineral pearl goodness in to my pores. It's good as I am a busy person who can't be looking in the mirror all day, good even coverage through out the day even if I touch my face or wipe my mouth after eating etc.. It doesn't need re applying,
The price is a bit dear though maybe if it was a bit cheaper and had more than just a brush in with it might get people interested in trying it. With so many other products being cheaper and bigger in quantity people are looking for value for money, which is understandable in this economy. Although everyone's skin type and PH levels are different. I really recommend you try Bio Oil as your replacement for any moisturiser as it will not only help your skin with redness, scars and health but also suit any skin type! added bonus is Bio Oil can last for ages, same as Thin Lizzy mineral foundation as you only need small amounts.
I hope my review helps those who have problems with scars, redness and uneven skin. I have found that Thin Lizzy does work (for me) and I will be doing more reviews on their products and others too as I go along. The most rewarding thing about this is that I finally have the confidence to lift my head high and not be ashamed of my scars etc.. My partner not noticing I have any make up on is a bonus too, I have freckles which he loves so glad that Thin Lizzy foundation doesn't cover up my cute freckles but covers things I don't want.
Working in retail I needed the extra confidence boost, no other foundation is so light weight and doesn't feel like you have any makeup on! I would recommend this as a try to any one who wants to give it a go. But I stand strong with my advice to ditch your other moisturiser's and primers and just use Bio Oil as that's really helped me out.

Love the powder – Have been buying this powder for years and I love it. Adds a nice colour and makes whole face look alot brighter. Also love to use it as an eyeshadow or for contouring. I bought my last ones when they were on sale for $15 each online. Show details
Covers up spider veins & telangiectasia! – I absolutely love thin Lizzy's products! I buy the 6 in 1 powder & also the liquid foundation & it works a treat!

even light is too dark – I was also disappointed as have used it before and thought it was great, but this time i bought it from an ad and they only offered 2 options, light or dark - I couldnt remember what I last had so bought one of each. way too dark - both. The other day I found my old compact and it was Minx, and just checked on the website and they are offering all different shades. I am now very confused. Show details
