Hi Codysmum,

I'm not sure how pale you are, I'm pretty pale too. If you have combination skin, steer clear of liquids (unless you have time for a primer and setting powder... but who has time for that?!)

Try the Thin Lizzy Mineral Foundation in Oriental Doll it will let your combo skin breathe and the minerals deflect light away from the skin, which detracts from uneven skintone- Make sure you apply it with a light hand. If you get oily through your T-zone, my little cheapie trick to blot oil is to press tissue paper (wrapping paper not toilet tissue

) whereever your oily - its cheaper than buying blotting paper

!!

@MyLilSquishy, were you using the light 6-in-1 or the mineral foundation??? The 6-in-1 is only for bronzing and contouring on pale skin. If its the mineral foundation, call them back and tell them it didn't work for you I reckon

I have a heap of trouble finding a good foundation. As I have pale combination skin and have found that every foundation I use always looks terrible. I even got the chemist to reccomend some and put it on, but even though it looked good at the time now I don't like it.

So can anyone reccomend one that has good coverage but looks natural and is easy to apply?]]> Sat, 09 Oct 2010 09:20:27 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25996&PID=1173000&title=thin-lizzy-make-up-reviews#1173000 <![CDATA[Thin Lizzy Make Up - Reviews? : I know this thread is about thin...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25996&PID=1172606&title=thin-lizzy-make-up-reviews#1172606 Author: gossamer

I know this thread is about thin lizzy but I would recommend MAC face and body, its not cheap but its 100ml which is more than 3 times the standard bottle of foundation you would get from a chemist or whatever. Its buildable so you can apply it very lightly or layer it when you want more coverage..very few foundations will let you do this without caking and going patchy. I think its about $80 or something I cant remember as I get a discount but it will last you a long long time, i wear it everyday and go through one bottle about every 9-10 months.

I know I sound like I work for MAC but I dont I just love this foundation. If you have oily skin like me you might need a light dusting of powder but thats it. And it doesnt move all day and looks like a second skin. It doesn't have an SPF but if you know how SPFs react to flash photography, its better to have your SPF in your moisturiser than your foundation anyway.]]> Fri, 08 Oct 2010 18:25:49 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25996&PID=1172606&title=thin-lizzy-make-up-reviews#1172606 <![CDATA[Thin Lizzy Make Up - Reviews? : MissIndependant - OMG thats so...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25996&PID=1172320&title=thin-lizzy-make-up-reviews#1172320 Author: MyLilSquishy

MissIndependant - OMG thats so awesome! could you give us a before and after photo? im almost out of liquid and am thinking of making the change to mineral because I just dont have the time to do my whole routine anymore! it makes me (95%) flawless but it takes so long. green cream, concealor, liquid, loose powder, then the "make up" stuff.

would love to be able to just quickly brush a loose powder over my face and walk out the door if im going somewhere

Thin Lizzy for me was absolutely USELESS as a foundation like they claimed because i have very pale skin. even the lightest one they had i still looked like a damn carrot. (even with one stroke of the brush through the compact and use that for my whole face)

but in saying that, it was great as an eyeshadow and a quick contour/blush over my liquid foundation.

but would never buy it again. ever. ]]> Fri, 08 Oct 2010 12:53:34 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25996&PID=1172320&title=thin-lizzy-make-up-reviews#1172320 <![CDATA[Thin Lizzy Make Up - Reviews? : Miss Independent thats awesome!!!...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25996&PID=1172288&title=thin-lizzy-make-up-reviews#1172288 Author: lovinmama

Miss Independent thats awesome!!! Wow what a win! you lucky girl - you should buy a lotto ticket!

I'm new to this site but as a film&television make-up artist, I'm still passionate about beauty products(even though I don't have much time for them since bubba came on the scene!)

But I thought I would add my two cents. Thin Lizzy is an excellent product for its price point. My kit contains mainly M.A.C and Dior but I still use the TL bronzer, concealers and minerals b/c they use natural ingredients e.g. ginger, beeswax, purified water etc and they actually work!

But you need to use them properly :) The 6-in-1 bronzer wont provide coverage, its for shaping, bronzing and higlighting. The mineral powder provides great, natural coverage, and you only need the tiniest amount (it disperses as it warms on your skin). The concealear is for using on dark circles, varicose veins, bruises and stretchmaks (yep we all have those now!)

For you fair ladies I would recommend the minerals in Oriental Doll - it makes me look flawless and healthy & it only takes a sec to put on... just dont have the time to get made up like I used to! hope that is helpful! :)]]> Fri, 08 Oct 2010 12:12:22 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25996&PID=1172288&title=thin-lizzy-make-up-reviews#1172288 <![CDATA[Thin Lizzy Make Up - Reviews? : Becks I didn't end up getting...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25996&PID=1096439&title=thin-lizzy-make-up-reviews#1096439 Author: IndigoZero

Becks I didn't end up getting it. I just started using Designer Brands Mineral Powder ...and now I have won a years supply ($1000 tab to spend on their make up at my local chemist, plus a bag of goodies RRP $200) and they've given me their new Mineral Ground Powder Foundation, Bronzer and Illuminator (which is yet to hit the shelves) and OMG IM SOLD!

It hides anything and everything, I don't think Thin Lizzy would even come close!

So everyone definitely look out for Designer Brands Mineral Ground products (In shiny silver boxes, sold at selected pharmacies). Unsure as to when they come out but will post back here when i see them.

They seriously make my skin flawless (And I have dry/very sensitive skin). And yay for winning such a big prize hehe]]> Tue, 13 Jul 2010 04:09:05 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25996&PID=1096439&title=thin-lizzy-make-up-reviews#1096439 <![CDATA[Thin Lizzy Make Up - Reviews? : I like it to highlight my cheeks,...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25996&PID=1095911&title=thin-lizzy-make-up-reviews#1095911 Author: LittleBug

i brought some to try it and i would say i hate it.

i have pale dry skin with freckles and i end up looking like an orange scaly dragon. even with barely applying any, and it dries me out more, especially near my eyes and mouth where my exchema is at its worst

to get good non orange coverage i have to moisturise, apply my moisture mist/shisaedo cake stuff, then put the thin lizzy on top to give me the tan. and that takes like 15 min, compared to the 30seconds they advertise.

I have used thin lizzy for a few years. I have really pale skin so normal foundation alone makes me look really washed out so putting a bit of thin lizzy on my cheeks etc just adds a bit of colour but I wouldn't use it as all over foundation cause it makes me orange (even the light shade). I use moisture mist foundation and it is great and actually got some ZA cosmetics foundation a while ago cause the chemist were doing a 'trade a shade' where you take in your old foundation and get a ZA cosmetics one free (just took in a foundation that was almost empty lol) and it's actually really good too.
I think thin lizzy is pretty cheap really considering you get 2 compacts, 2 brushes, 2 double ended eyeliners (brown/black) and 2 lip glosses. The twin pack lasts me about a year so works out to be really cost effective. ]]> Mon, 12 Jul 2010 09:21:12 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25996&PID=1095267&title=thin-lizzy-make-up-reviews#1095267 <![CDATA[Thin Lizzy Make Up - Reviews? : I have it and quite like it once...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25996&PID=1095220&title=thin-lizzy-make-up-reviews#1095220 Author: mummy_becks

Thin lizzy is ok, and you get 2 compacts and a couple of eyeliners for like $50 so it's quite cheap compared to other brands. In saying that I never found it any good as a foundation. It's a bronzer and good for putting a bit of colour in your cheeks, but you do have to be careful not to overkill, especially if you are a pasty ginger like me! I use it in the summer as a quick fix when I can't be bothered with the whole foundation thing, or if I'm going out I put it over my foundation, kind of as a blusher/bronzer.
Also I have quite dry skin at times, and I would not recommend it for people with dry skin. It tends to make it look even more flaky and haggard, so unless you want to drown in moisturiser first, I would avoid. ]]> Sun, 11 Jul 2010 22:53:06 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25996&PID=1095129&title=thin-lizzy-make-up-reviews#1095129 <![CDATA[Thin Lizzy Make Up - Reviews? : I have been using the same makeup...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25996&PID=1095094&title=thin-lizzy-make-up-reviews#1095094 Author: monkey33

I have been using the same makeup for years - I use:

Revlon foundation (Colorstay) then Revlon pressed powder (Colorstay aswell) followed by Clinique bronzer. They give good long lasting coverage and don't give you that heavily made up look.

I have not personally used Thin Lizzy but a girl in my coffee group was a makeup artist for television and they apparantely use it all the time, so must work well for some!]]> Sun, 11 Jul 2010 22:13:31 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25996&PID=1095094&title=thin-lizzy-make-up-reviews#1095094 <![CDATA[Thin Lizzy Make Up - Reviews? : mmm I'm a redhead with pale...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25996&PID=1094455&title=thin-lizzy-make-up-reviews#1094455 Author: Chops1975

Hey to you all, I thought I would give you my thoughts and advice on thin Lizzy. I have a portwine stain brithmark that covers 95% of my face. I started wearing make up at 17 when a lady in a cosmetic store got me using Elizabeth Arden, I used is for many years and thought it was ok - by this I mean it did the trick of covering up my birthmark - at least in my eyes. However I found it a bit greasy, and had a shine look to it. Then just over a year ago someone to my good fortune bumped into me who works for Thin Lizzy and she changed my life in terms of feeling better about myself and having a make up that best works for me. Dont get me wrong I had my doubts when I saw thin lizzy adverts on tv, but I was given the oppertunity to try it and its just great. I swear by it. I use the concealer and mineral foundation as my birthmark it so dark but it feels and looks so much better and my skin just feels and looks healhier when I take it off at night. I done my own makeup wearing thin lizzy for my wedding. and I have had so many fab comments. Thin Lizzy all the way. I just wish they sold it in the UK as will be moving back there in a few years. It does rub of and leave patchy marks just like any make up if you rub in a area, just top up. Thin lizzy lasts long so you dont have to buy it too often and I feel I look natural you just have to find the colour that works best for you. I swin in it and sunbath in it and it doesnt come of or fade etc. And to top it off my face doesnt get sunburnt!

Hi guys, I use thin lizzy during the day overtop of tinted moisturiser and love it. I only use a thin layer as I have quite pale skin to avoid the orange/dark look.

At night, I use it overtop of my foundation as a bronzer.

If you have really pale skin I wouldn't get it as it is reasonably dark (even the light shade). My sister brought the 2 for 1 deal and gave me half to try out. I only put the tiniest bit on and when Jess came home he noticed straight away lol. Still I have grown quite attached to it. It's so light it doesn't feel like your wearing makeup. So I use it during the day when I'm out and about. I think it's worth it. You could always ask a friend to go halves on the 2 for 1 deal the first time just to try it out.]]> Fri, 02 Oct 2009 07:54:42 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25996&PID=793522&title=thin-lizzy-make-up-reviews#793522 <![CDATA[Thin Lizzy Make Up - Reviews? : I use thin lizzy during the day...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25996&PID=793512&title=thin-lizzy-make-up-reviews#793512 Author: Andriea

Its great for that, but when I want a 'flawless', lol, looking face I use shisedo and then thin lizzy as bluch etc. Thin lizzy give me a natural summery look which I like for everyday as a SAHM, just so I dont look crappy all the time, lol]]> Fri, 02 Oct 2009 07:36:25 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25996&PID=793512&title=thin-lizzy-make-up-reviews#793512 <![CDATA[Thin Lizzy Make Up - Reviews? : I purchased the powder first,...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25996&PID=793493&title=thin-lizzy-make-up-reviews#793493 Author: Sharlene28

I purchased the powder first, thinking that it would work like a foundation (not particulary experienced with makeup) and realising that it was a bronzer kind of a thing, didn't really use it all that much because my skin is quite red in places and it tended to accentuate this. I then went to the pharmacy and asked the assistant to help me with a foundation to cover redness and she told me about the thin lizzy concealer. I had seen it in an ad before and thought it might do the trick. After wearing it for awhile it tends to seperate on my skin creating a patchy look and even seems to disappear in places. So I would not recommend the concealer, but I'm sure the powder would work fine as a bronzer.

Yeah I've been wondering about it too. I want to try it but the girls in the ads always look rather orange to me so I'm a little put off.

I thought Thin Lizzy would be great (judging by all the ads they have and all the different skin types they show) but am really disappointed with it.

- and I have 2 of them cos it comes with 2 compacts!!

Thin Lizzy is a bronzer so if you have good clear skin and want a bit of colour then its ideal. If you have blemishes and want a bit of coverage then you're probably better to go with a mineral foundation again

I love my thin lizzy!!! it's so so easy to apply - like takes less than a min and does the trick

I'd definitely recommend it!! But I agree the ad for it is sooooo annoying and nearly put me off

Before you buy any makeup , make sure you know your skin type first and what type of coverage works best on it ,eg, if your skin is dry, then one with a matte finish will make it look drier ,etc thats all I have to say .

Oh that and how much I hate the Thin Lizzy adverts on Good morning , almost as much as the blimming Bio Mag ads .

I have friends that use thin lizzy and yeah they think it is great too.
I use elizabeth arden makeup and I swear by it and would never change. Their foundations (mousse and powder) are fantastic and real easy to apply. I apply the mousse (sp?) with a brush and that makes it look really natual and light I find...but syill looks good of course.
Their products are expensive, so may not have helped, but I find that they last ages as you don't really need much of it. ]]> Sun, 19 Apr 2009 16:05:09 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25996&PID=664325&title=thin-lizzy-make-up-reviews#664325 <![CDATA[Thin Lizzy Make Up - Reviews? : Fliss just asked this recently...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25996&PID=664323&title=thin-lizzy-make-up-reviews#664323 Author: weegee

Has anyone purchased this stuff and been happy with the results?

Is it as good as the adverts make out?

I have a couple friends who swear by the stuff but I need a little more convincing ...

Atm I just use a cheapie brand from the chemist, their mineral powder works a charm but when it runs out I might consider splurging and getting one of those tins where you get 2 packs for the price of one.

Failing that, anyone care to share their make-up secrets ...any products you swear by? Preferably something that is light, doesn't take ages apply and doesn't look caked on iykwim

Thanks
