Talk to me about shimmer brick shades.

[cetati]

I'm going to order two tonight and I can't decide what shades. I already have Copper Diamond and ADORE it, but I really can't figure out what the rest are for.

I am NC30.

Beige vs. Bronze
IS the bronze super shimmery? Is it used as a highlighter or a bronzer? If it's more like a bronzer, is it just a glitter bomb?

Pink vs. Rose
I'm leaning towards Rose on this one, but if someone's seen/swatched both, tell me how you feel about them!

Yeaaah I did do a search.. and I even had a comment in the latest shimmer brick thread... but I couldn't really find any information that helps me figure out what will work best on my Asian olive NC30 skintone... or what the ladies here use each as (highlighter mostly, I know, but I'm a little wary of the colors and how they might show up)

 

[TISH1124]

Ok ok...Hopefully someone can help you compare these .... I always have to go in and try them myself...They look much different IRL than they do online...IMO

 

[cetati]

Yeah, I think so too! Which is why I'm wary, and I can't get in the store today or tomorrow and the F&F sale ends tomorrow.

Hopefully someone will respond soon...Just keep randomely bumping it up

Hi

There are 6 shimmer bricks & 1 LE one at the moment.(in the uk & ireland)

Bronze-Normal bronze colour.
Beige-Less colour more white shimmer with a touch of gold.
Brownie-Kinda purple/brown colour-this one never really sold at my store.
Pink-More white with a touch of pink is very pretty.
Rose-Deeper version of pink more colour pretty rose colour.
Apricot-My fave a orange/gold colour really nice in the summer.

Then copper diamond that is out at the moment is a full on gold yellow tone-its the first shimmer brick that i havent liked but maybe because it clashes with my blonde hair.hehe

Last year they had pink quartz out & that still is my fave-a pinky brown colour.

I will post a swatch as soon as i can x

Im a NC 30. rose or pink id go for PINK.
Bronze or beige i would go for BEIGE but most of my customers liked the bronze i feel its more of a bronzer than a highlighter if that helps. x
