Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick

Love this highlighter and think it’s going to last forever!! I use it to highlight my cheeks nose and my brow bone! It’s not too much always just enough.

Bobbi Brown have been so clever to make such a beautiful, multiple use shimmer brick. I have had mine years, I use it on my cheeks and eyes mainly and take this on holiday with me to lighten the make up load. I love the pigments in this brick and love all the colours you just can't go wrong with this. x

I first came across the shimmer brick about 7 years ago and I can tell you I have never found a blusher or a bronzer that beats this compact all in one. I have tried multiple colours in bronzers and Blushes and non of them seem to compliment each other on my skin. I don't use this for an overall glow over the face like some do, I use this as a contour. I usually put a flat bronzer/ contour colour across the contours of my face first and then I use the brick. I grab a contour brush, brush it up and down the brick to get a bit of every colour and then use it to contour my cheeks to give them glow and colour over the top. I use this for special occasions, rather than everyday because it gives you more of a glam feel than an everyday. But i guarantee compliments will fly when you wear this! Also you may think its a little pricey, but even with regular use, this lasts easily 6 months +

I’m adding this review because I am currently panning this product and have major pan in it. Having used it consistently for this year, I feel I can give it a fair appraisal. This product was one of the first high end products I have ever owned. I remember my husband treating me to this in John Lewis and I remember he paid £47 for it. I remember not being overly impressed by it at first, perhaps I thought it was meant to be more bronzey. I’m pretty sure that it languished in my makeup bag for a long time until this year when I decided I needed to get some real use out of it. I wouldn’t throw it away for sentimental purposes. Anyway, having used it consistently I’ve gained a new appreciation for it. I use it as eyeshadow and highlighter and love the subtlety of it and am impressed that it has not diminished in quality after all this time. When it’s gone though, I’ll consider it done and won’t repurchase. It is not unique for I have similar highlighter.

This is the perfect glow blush to wear on a night out, or when you have a good tan going on. It's the perfect amount of shimmer without it looking like highlighter and there is a natural amount of pink and bronze for a sun kissed glow. I'm just annoyed because the bricks have all fallen out and broken and I had to do a DIY repair on it - now it's not the same! :(

I so wanted to love this but I don’t, it’s a little too glittery for my taste. I purchased mine in bronze which I also find to be a little too dark. I does however; make for a good eyeshadow so all is not lost. At £35 i think it’s expensive and I think if I was search for a glow I would rate becca’s products far higher compatible price but Becca out perform this.

I can't live without my shimmer brick in beige not only does this illuminate my cheeks but it's so versatile high lighting different areas of my face but it's also great to double up as an eye shadow too! The staying power of this little gem is unreal lasts all day... No unnecessary touch ups I can put it on first thing and leave it on the dresser knowing I won't need it again that day hallelujah!!! Yes it's a bit of a splurge but then again when you find a product that suits you so well it's worth the investment my make up bag would not be the same without it girls give it a go!

A lot of great reviews I'd read re this product but sadly for me it didn't live it up to hype. Too shimmery for my pale skin - I looked like i'd dipped my face my face in glitter! Whilst it has staying power, it's not a product I'll find myself using again - perhaps as an eye shadow and shoulders only, but certainly not anywhere else on my face.

I have this in the bronze version and the coverage is quite good, maybe not quite pigmented enough for my liking but that is just because I like quite bold looks. The shimmer does last all day though despite the weakness in the colour.

I have this in the neutral pink and bronze palettes. I love them both for an evening or summer look. They sweep easily over cheeks and have a subtle glow if applied lightly. I now finish off my look by sweeping the remainder of product over my eyelids which is very effective.
