Ladies What Bobbi Brown Foundation shade do you use?

I wear 7.5 or warm walnut in their oil free foundations but in the skin finish foundation I wear a 6.5 (almond)

I wear Golden #6 in the Even Finish but I am finding it is too light now that I am darker for the summer

i just hopped on the BB bandwagon (yes i know i'm later than FEMA) but i would like to try her foundations. im gonna go to a counter later this week to get a match. tish and i are similar skin tones so i'm probably the same color she is.

Re: Ladies What Bobbi Brown Foundation shade do you use?

I am Golden (6) in just about all of the foundations. But I find that the stick foundation and Skin foundation are great matches.

I'm a NW15-20 and my closest match is warm ivory though I'm not sure I like it 100%.....

oops just realized that I posted in beauty of color. Which I'm certainly not since I'm so pale. I just saw the thread title and didn't notice

silly me

I paid my first visit to a Bobbi Brown counter today- I was very good & only bought the one item I knew I wanted, a Shimmer Brick in Rose

I only have one MAC MSF (Perfect Topping) & though it's lovely, I think it's a bit too glittery & chunky for everyday use. This, however, is a gorgeous colour without being too over the top

I feel I need to some some serious hauling soon, I love some of the lip glosses but they are so tiny *cries*

I wear it in the Almond shade, the oil free liquid one to be precise.

I use Golden. I just fished out 40 bucks on the oil free cream compact.

Re: Ladies What Bobbi Brown Foundation shade do you use?

I wear Warm Almond (6.5)

Re: Ladies What Bobbi Brown Foundation shade do you use?

I have Golden (6.0) and Warm almond (6.5). The Golden shade is a little light for my Summer skin. But I dust a little of the BB sheer finish loose powder (Basic Brown) over the Golden and it looks fine. Or I can mix some Golden with Warm Almond.

The Golden color looks like it would be too light for me but after it's on my skin for less than a minute it's good. Whereas, the Warm Almond looks good upon application then within moments the under tone is off.

I have BB foundations in Oil Free-Even Finish, Moisture Rich, and Luminous Moisturizing. For normal to oily skin, I recommend the oil free. In the winter when I get a little dryer, the moisture rich is wonderful. I'm not crazy about the Luminous Moisurizing formula.

I believe it was 7.5 in oil-free liquid foundation (which looked horrible on me, but that's another topic). I wear NW45 in MAC foundations for reference.

Re: Ladies What Bobbi Brown Foundation shade do you use?

yeah the gave me 7.5 in oil free i hated it too!!!!!! i'm NW 45 too!!

Re: Ladies What Bobbi Brown Foundation shade do you use?

Ok, so I bought the Oil free cream compact finally and I just wanted to show you all what it looks like on me. I didn't go anywhere so I can't tell you how it handled the elements (it's raining cats and dogs here). But I'll try it again when I'm going out and see what it does. This is Golden.

All in All I think the consistency is pretty good. Just don't use too much. I found myself putting too much on my brush at first.

Was it too yellow for your skin? The liquid is a tad bit lighter then the compact foundation.
