Bobbi Brown Discussion & Must-haves

[luvlydee]

Goss makeup artist raved about the new reformulated foundation sticks. Ive been waiting for weeks for sephora to have the new color golden-honey in stock but they are taking foreverrrrr. That is the perfect color for me. In between warm honey and golden. Saves me the trouble of mixing lmao

Any dupes for the new Shimmerbrick in Apricot? I've been close to picking up but I keep thinking it looks familiar. Any dupes?

I got a new one.. and it's fabulous. Will put it to the marathon when I travel.. it's so easy for travel.

What shade of the new foundation stick is equivalent to NC15?

 

[User38]

I got the Alabaster but if you have a pink base, then Porcelaine is prob better.. I am NC15- Mufe 117. for ref.

 

[Winthrop44]

Thanks I am yellow. Will give Alabaster a try. Love the ingredients.

Im loving Kate Upton for Bobbi Brown! I've fancied the foundation stick for a while, though I've read it's not the best for oily skin. My favourite face product is my elf all over stick which I use as concealer, hmm I wonder what the reformulation of the bb ones is like. Anyone tried the eye base? My eyelids are super oily, tinted eye brightener calms them a little, you cant return cosmetics over here so hesitant to shell out on eyebase if it doesn't work...

I heard that the new formulation will work on oily skin also

I have the foundation stick in Warm Sand (2.5). I only use it on my nose (oily) and chin as a touch up partway through the day, but I've been very happy with it. I got it at Sephora - not sure if it's the new formulation though. No foundation makes it through the whole day on me on my t-zone; this is a perfect, portable solution for my days in the office.

Based on the above comments, I decided to wear the Skin Foundation Stick as foundation today, rather than the touch up foundation/concealer I bought it as.

It does have a very natural finish, but wow am I pale when I actually cover my hyper-pigmentation and redness. My face matches my neck and chest so it's the right colour but I'm used to sheerer coverage that only partially tones down my darker areas. This is the skin tone of my teens.

I'll be interested to see how well it holds up over the course of the day. I didn't even use setting powder since the finish is fairly matte. I don't think it would last very long if used as full-face foundation daily, but I'm glad to know that it looks good that way as well.

Let me know how you get on I bought the bb skin stick yday in 4.5 but haven't had a chance to try it yet, I was just taken by how portable it is and normally I am rushing out the door most mornings, a stick just seems to solve those problems, I was hugely swayed by Wayne goss review of the product but I am a bit worried about longevity as it is a cream product so I'm wondering if the staying power is any good or if it will just rub/slide off. Will give it a trial run tomorrow, was also wondering how you found it around the eye area, is it ok to use or too heavy?

Actually, I'm surprised by how much I like the stick foundation. I bought it to replace a NARS stick concealer that I was using to provide a little extra coverage to my chin and nose mid-day; I never really intended to use it as a 'real' foundation. Today is the second day I've used it as foundation. I still need to touch up my nose and chin but it lasts everywhere else at least as well as a liquid. I apply by drawing a couple of lines onto each cheek and then blending with fingers. It's fine in the under eye area but I just blend it up from my cheek; I don't apply directly to that area. I like it so much that I bought a backup today while I could get 15% off.

I'm loving the foundation stick so emollient but not to the point that it's problematics for my combo skin I'm wearing it today and set it with hourglass ambient lighting powders I used the palette, dim light all over to set and the middle one (incandescent light?) under the eyes i love this combo made my skin look glowier then normal

I started with bobbi brown by getting her bb cream. Love it!!!! The obsession grew and I love the corrector, shimmer bricks, blushes, and the eyeshadows are super easy to blend. I am definitely a fangirl of the 6 pan empty palettes. They are super easy!!!! You can fill them with all blushes, or all shadows, and then to travel or something, make a pan with a combo of blushes and shadows. I also love her bronzer.(recently hit pan on, super sad) I buy most of my bobbi brown at my CCO, so it's discounted by 30% and the ladys at my cco are always very nice and helpful.

Bobbi's e/s palettes can be iffy, but I really like the looks of the new e/s 8 palette from the Sand and Surf collection. I like the one with the blue and green shades - I'm hoping swatches and reviews will appear online soon.

I love both Surf and Sand, I will purchase them they look beautiful ! It launches very soon here

Unless Surf is plagued with poor pigmentation and fallout, I will almost certainly buy it. I don't have anything like the blue/green shades and I'm always seduced by beach glass like colours.

Please let me know what you think of it (assuming I don't just order it the day it launches).
