@shy bobcat If you're interested in trying BM try the matte powder foundation, it doesn't have bismuth, I did use that but after Leslie sold the company the colors changed & I couldn't find a good match. Lots of BM products have bismuth, most can use it without problems but if you're sensitive to it, Yikes. I have to read labels, can't use any of the I ingredients ending in cone either.

Thank you! I appreciate you sharing your experiences and giving your advice.  I decided to order the TSV and see how the products work for me. Love this community.

Yay! Hope you love it, Bobcat. Just remember to use a light hand and buff, buff, buff!

I use Bobbi Brown stick foundation as my every day makeup. When I need a quick buff and go makeup, I always have BM on hand. I mix (in the lid) a tiny bit of clear radiance before buffing and get a very slight healthy glow...not shine or sparkle like in highlighters, etc. I even use a tiny bit of BM as my setting powder on t zone in summer. 

Big plus of BM for me is additional SPF!

Is BM good if your face is oily after a short period of time? I currently use IT celebration foundation but it drives me insane shortly after I put it on I have to dab my oily T zone. Hope BM doesn't do this. I ordered the TSV; looking forward to using it.

I love BM loose foundation and have for years. Every now and then I want to try something different. I have tried several IT dfoundations and really dislike them. I can't stand the IT demo when the model removes the foundation and brushes more It powder foundation back on. You can see the dust storm around the model. It must be on very thick. It makes me itch watching IT.

I may be the only one, but I prefer IT Celebration Foundation. I don't find it drying, just smooth coverage that lasts all day for me. I also love the illumination version.

BM orginal has bismuth, it can cause itching & breakouts, IT powder doesn't have that ingredient...I use the IT powder in the black case.

It used to back in the day make my face itch like crazy but it no longer makes it itch in recent years. Think they are using a different type of Bismuth?

I HATED IT Celebration foundation....  sent it back immediately.  I had a VERY LIGHT hand putting it on, and it just looked so obvious,  drying, and not natural at all.  BM WINS by a mile.  Also like Smashbox Halo, which is my go to.

Oh, Ellietoo, I should mention that too, since you brought it up. I also use the BM Bisque as concealer, and even tho I'm closer to 60 than I am to 10, it doesn't crease or crack, or make me look older. Great stuff!
