Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick Compact

My skin is far from perfect.I breakout very easily and have pores like minipotholes. (Don't judge me by the cover of my latest book that is so airbrushed!) For me to give a product with shimmer four stars is a big deal.

Beige Shimmer Brick makes my deep olive complexion look like it's illuminated by candle-light. I *need* this during the dry winter or my skin will look dead and well...dry. I find this is best applied with a kabuki style brush.Just dust some over your cheeks, chin, even your eyelids you'll look dewy but not sweaty. The shimmer particles don't settle into your pores, either.

Only thing that stops this from getting 5 stars is that the brick separates and breaks off from the packaging. I haven't dropped it or treated it harshly but it has cracked away from the container. It's still usable, but if I open it upside down one day, it will be all over the floor. Treat it like a newborn baby and you should be fine.

I love these shimmer bricks. I have Nectar, which has coral tones and tawny, which is more of a neutral, similar to the photo here. They both give a lovely glow applied like a bronzer. They're shimmery but OK for daytime use. I get compliments on my skin when I wear them. Nectar looks brighter than the photo here, but applies sheer enough to work with my fair skin. They're not cheap but you can find them cheap if you search around. You only need a tiny so I can't imagine running out anytime soon.

I really love this shimmer brick as it highlights and gives the most glowy finish to my cheekbones. The color bars can also be used as eyeshadows. Amazing product.

I was hesitant to buy this product. I am not one for shimmery blush or bronzer, because most of them make me look like a trashy clown. However, I've always wanted something that would give me a subtle shimmer on my cheeks...more of a colorful highlight than anything else. I have read all the rave reviews of this product for years, but never caved in and bought it because it's really expensive. Then I found out Kate Middleton used the Pink Quartz Shimmer Brick on her wedding day, and she looked lovely, so I caved and bought this stuff and OMG!!! No wonder it's so pricy: for once, a product actually delivers everything it promises! I use this super, super, SUPER sparingly as one of the last steps in my makeup routine. After applying foundation, cream blush, and powder, I dab just the smallest hint of Shimmer Brick on my cheeks. The effect is dazzling. I have finally achieved that dewy look that the movie stars have, and I don't have to deal with a typical cream highlighter that's so easy to mess up. My skin is quite fair, and this shade looks fantastic. I can't recommend this stuff enough! If the price is still a big turn-off for you, as it was for me, I can't stress enough how little of the product I use on a daily basis to achieve the desired effect. Your Shimmer Brick will last YEARS and YEARS. Trust me! Now go buy it!!!

I purchased this product about three months ago and so happy I did!The colors in the brick allow for blush, eye, and lip coverage. It has a slight shimmer which adds youth to my 45 year old face. The separate colors allow for a more pink color on the cheeks and a more pink-beige color to be placed on the lids. Since this purchase I have also purchased the chocolate shimmer gel liner and plan on ONLY using BB products from here on out. Thanks Bobbi!
