Hm Im in the minority - I used it.  People commented on how I was glowing all day and I think it photographed well.  I have a string of photos on here, if you want the link let me know, but truthfully its barely noticeable.  Even in my super close up ones, i just look dewey

I sued bronzer, shimmer lotion, and a highlighitng powder, plus bare inerals shimmer mineral veil - its not shiny or sparkly at all in my photos

@jacqui - yep, but different products.  Face was my normal lotion with one droplet of BeneFit HighBeam mixed in.  I use Bare Minerals Makeup, so that on top.  On my cheeks only I used a shimmery bronzer, and topped it with the Mineral Veil

Body I mixed that bronzer with my lotion (plain Nivea) and dusted a very faint shimmer over the top.  There are some pics at my thread here

Where you can see I DONT look like a disco ball

my makeup artist (one of my BMs) is also VERY GOOD with technique.  But the bronzer I used is what I typically use every day, and people always comment about how I look glow-y.  Its some sort of mineral based one I got at this Cosmo Sample grab bag thing, Ill have to look up the brand when I get home

My friend wore her "pixie dust" for her wedding. It's basically a little bit of shimmery body glitter that she wears (tastefully) to bring out the amber in her eyes (she's got lovely dark skin). You didn't see it much in photographs but in person it was lovely.

I've used the nivea shimmer lotion tons of times, and I've never looked shiny or weird in any pictures (and my friends and I take tons of pictures).  I will say, it looks a lot nicer when you have a tan.  I would just use it sparingly.

@ejs - hahah yeah, I have some of that too and Im like "WHY do they even still make this stuff?!"
