Bobbi Brown Discussion & Must-haves

[shontay07108]

You're welcome Shadowy Lady. I'm afraid to do FOTDs here. I'm afraid of the criticism. Lol I get so insecure when I know people are checking me out. Maybe I'll get the courage up one of these days. I'll do something really simple and then build my way up.

Noooo don't worry about stuff like that. When I posted my first FOTD I think was 2 years ago and I thoughts similar to yours. But everyone was super nice. Also, by posting my FOTD's, I kept getting better and better.

I hope to see an FOTD from you soon, maybe wearing BB corals?

Re: Bobbi Brown's Make Up Manual and your opinions on foundation??

i have read it i agree the canvas makes the rest of it come to life and with practice the time you take will lessen

Re: Bobbi Brown's Make Up Manual and your opinions on foundation??

Agree too.. foundation is key. But then so are eyes, lips and cheeks!

I tried Nectar shimmerbrick on my cheeks today and am pleasantry surprised! It looks good on me! I don't wear coral blushes very well. I think I will go back for it.

Re: Bobbi Brown's Make Up Manual and your opinions on foundation??

Agreed! I often find that once I have my base on I don't need much else for eyes/lips.

Re: Bobbi Brown's Make Up Manual and your opinions on foundation??

I gotta have a good base. If my skin doesn't look good, I don't find there to be much point in doing the rest of my face. I will happily do my base, add blush and mascara, and I look perfectly fine. Not what I ideally want (I like a full face), but it definitely will do if I'm rushed for time or feeling lazy.

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

Hi girls, just wanted to post since I am a MA for Bobbi Brown, concerning the corrector/concealers, you really need to be swatched for them in person as you could be 2-3 different colors in each product (c/c) for each foundation color.

I was finally able to get Nectar shimmer brick and I'm in love! I will be wearing this a lot I can already tell!

Nectar is my 4th shimmer brick. I already have Nude, Gold and Apricot and love them all

I saw this shimmerbrick at the CCO I went to this past weekend and there were plenty of them. They had the Bronze one too.

I had gotten the Pink shimmerbrick and it was WAY too light and shimmery for me. I'm totally salivating over the Nectar one and want to get it this weekend. I've heard that some shimmerbricks aren't as shimmery as others so what's the scoop on Nectar?

 

[Shadowy Lady]

^^ it's shimmery but not overly shimmery. I haven't worn it yet just swatched it. I think it'll look lovely as a blush or a highlighter

In case you haven't yet checked out the correctors and can't make it to a counter, this chart Bobbi Brown Foundation Guide - Nordstrom may can help you. I did see a swatch of the Dark Peach corrector on a blog. Plus, I have it, and it's dark for me right now. The Foundation Stick and Luminous Moisturizing Foundation in Warm Natural (4.5) match me very nicely, and I use the Peach corrector. There is also a new (or newly packaged/formulated?) tinted eye brightener that you may want to check out.

Both are worth a purchase, IMO.

Beautiful!! Love these!

The Nectar Shimmerbrick is beautiful. One of the color strips reminds me of Motif e/s. I really want to try that shadows as a highlight now...

 

[pdtb050606]

are there any free shipping codes right now?

 

[Miss QQ]

I bought Nectar shimmerbrick today! It looks gorgeous in the pan!

It is my first bb product, and I hope I like it. It is quite shimmery when I swatched it, so I will top it over my blush instead of packing it on as a blush and then experiment more from there.

Has anyone seen the new BB palettes? I am esp interested in the aquamarine one and I missed it on QVC tonight. The purple one looked really nice. Anyone seen them in person, I don't even know if they are in stores yet. Thanks.

Update 3/7/10: KarlaSugar has swatched these palettes on her blog and they are divine as she always does an awesome job.
