Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick Question

Do all BB Shimmer Bricks work with every skintone? Is there a specific one that looks perfect on fair skin? Thank you.

I have fair skin and own the BB Shimmer Bricks in Rose, Beige and Bronze. I use Bronze more in the summer.

Beige is great because I can use it for blush, all over powder, and eyeshadow.

Rose looks really good on me, but I like each one.

Would Sandstone be too dark for someone who is fair?

I don't have any experience with Sandstone although I like the name. I really don't think you could go wrong with any of them.

I bought my first shimmer brick and after that fell in love with them. The shimmer bricks are very forgiving with a hint of color.

I am fair and I wear the Rose Shimmerbrick. I wear it over a pink/rose BB blush. browns will make your face muddy like you have dirty on it.

I have light skin with golden undertones. I own four Shimmer Bricks:

Pink (seems to be discontinued)

Rose

Nectar

Apricot (was discontinued, now brought back as a limited edition)

I think the first three on my list would be fine for fair skin, if lightly applied. I reach for the Rose more than I do the Pink. I use Nectar more in the summer.

I like to use Bobbi's Pot Rouge as a "base" blush, then add a touch of Shimmer Brick or traditional powder blush.

Initially I thought this would be an interesting way to build a house! It would look great at Christmas time, but a booger for drivers at night.

If you do an online chat at BB.com they can recommend the ones that are best for fair skin. I'm fairly light and have tried several. I love the Rose, like the Nectar, and didn't really care for the others I tried (pink, nude, bronze).

I have very fair skin and tried the Sandstone color just this week. I liked the way it looked and I am considering buying it. As always with these shimmer bricks, it seems like they need to be applied with a light hand in order to get the best result.

I also have the beige shimmer brick and I found that the Sandstone had more of a "skin" color shimmer while the beige looks a little more "white/silver".

I am light skinned and have sandstone. Not dark at all and gives a beautiful glow over my blush. I absolutely love it. You only need a little bit though. I also use it as an eyeshadow.

It is dependent on how fair you actually are. Very pale porcelain complected women are going to find they may or may not work. I tried them and they looked brown against my very fair skin. I can't wear bronzers of any kind, so perhaps that explains it.
