I found it made my skin itchy and I don't normally have sensitive skin.

i use it everyday. Takes me two seconds and i feel like i look semi decent lol but not like i have heaps of makeup on. I wanted to get my makeup down to a minimum so i get my eye lashes tinted and just use thin lizy and i lip balm. I love it. My friend who has very sensitive skin also uses it and doesnt have any problems.

I've got some and it's nice as a bronzer or eyeshadow, but I'm to pale to use it on my full face.

Yeah I don't think it would suit my complexion but if you have a semi tanned face I think its pretty good. If your a bit pale like me tinted moisturiser works really well too. I use the nivea stuff from the supermarket.

Went and looked at Farmers and the 'light' shade seems too dark. Might go with LOreal or Revlon powder foundation - I want something light that will even out the skin tone but I find liquid stuff seems to run and get too moist feeling by the end of the day.

Haven't used it myself, but I've heard that the brush is made from goats hair, which could explain why some people react to it.

I used thin lizzy over my entire face and found it stungafter a few mins.
I used it as a blusher and eyeshadow in the end.
Have you tried Revlon Skinlights? Its a face illuminator and you can use it on its own or underneath your foundation. Its the best!

I use thin lizzy - lightly on my face - neck and chest then use Loreal mineral powder on my face - it gives a light coverage without clogging like some liquid foundations can. (oh and thin lizzy gives me a sunkissed glow so to speak without sounding like a commercial - I don't go over board with it though or else would look unatural)

I used Thin Lizzy till my last compact ran out, can't get it here. But I really liked it, I just used it as blusher/bronzer rather than all over my face. It was my best friend during pregnancy - definitely felt less washed out and  wearing Thin Lizzy, mascara and some lip gloss

I love thin lizzy too - takes 2 seconds to put on and makes you look way more human :) I use Natio mineral powder foundation too now which is good

I find I have to use thin lizzy very sparingly otherwise I glow a sexy orange hue.  I prefer either Revlon or Loreal mineral foundation.
Btw Revlon Skinlights was discontinued last year. Its upset lots of people

I agree it's a wee bit dark but i use it anyway as well as the concealer you can get.
When mine runs out I might look at this new max factor one.
With thin lizzy the gloss keeps leaking out of the tube and it sticks to every thing and I don't use eyeliner so they are both still in the tin, But I've gone through the first compact and half way through the second and I got it in about October last year.

as I said in the general thread - was disappointed with the product - especially after all the ads said it suited all skin types and hides blemishes etc!
I've got pale-ish skin, with freckles, and it just makes me look like I've got too much on - even when I hardly put any on!
Wish I'd got something better!

I use it and love it. Everyone says I've got that 'pregnancy glow' but I think its mostly the thin lizzy!!! But I don't tell them that.....I say thanks for the compliment! 
I find it quick and easy to apply (great when you have a toddler!).
