I found it made my skin itchy and I don't normally have sensitive skin. ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">   [/url] Angel June 2012 |

| 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. ------------- http://www.babysfirstsite.com">

| 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. ------------- Mum to two wee boys |

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. ------------- http://alterna-tickers.com">

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! ------------- Mummy to two beauties... Formerly Kaiz. |

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) ------------- http://lilypie.com">

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  ------------- SJ Callum - Dec 2008 Daniel - Oct 2010 |

| 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. ------------- Sarah Mum to, Boy 07/2008, Girl 03/2010, Boy 05/2012, Angel  07/08/2014

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! ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">  DD#1 Sept 08 DD#2 Oct 09 |

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!). -------------
