Shimmerbrick This product rocks because before its legendary, sell-out launch in 2002, the market wasn't full of multi-tonal palettes for bronzing, some people were still not sure how to wear bronzer, and it wasn't always easy to find the right shade for you. It's still one of the best.

The original limited edition Bronze Shimmer Brick made it simple to get a warm glow, with a subtle shimmer, no matter what your colouring. Its versatility made it a beauty bag staple as the neutral browns could also be used on eyes and the lightest shade as a highlighter on the brow bone.The following years saw the launch of Pink, Beige, Apricot, and Brownie to the Shimmer Brick Compact family...

Buy one if you want to add a touch of warmth to your skin and like the glow a bit of subtle shimmer can give. I've never recommended it to anyone who hasn't become totally obsessed with it! I think even more mature skin can handle this shimmer unless very dry or crepey, where it could accentuate the lines.

Available from Bobbi Brown studios nationwide for £27
