help with bobbi brown foundation color

kittyloo · ‎03-11-2010

i am pretty light with pink undertones. i have recently changed to tinted moisterizer from full coverage foundation. so..... . i know bobbi brown used to be over on hsn. always so high for something that i tend to be picky about. free shipping today. under 60. any advise one can give on the colorations? i'm kinda torn between light and medium.

I use Bobbi Brown and am very fair. I think from the way you describe your coloring you should consider the light. (I use fair) I find that it's easier to add a little extra color with a bronzer or one of thos Balance & Brighton Laura Geller compacts. Hope this helps you.

@kittyloo Bobbi Brown foundation shades are all yellow based. You could try "Sand" but if you want a true Pink undertone check out Laura Mercier or Rihanna's new foundation.

I agre with @Katcat1 about them being yellow based, though I haven't tried in years and maybe they have changed that. You may want to look at Sephora online. When they show their swatches they tell what the undertones are. Also, unless the foundation is on sale, look at Nordstrom.com. They also have Bobbi Brown and it is free shipping both ways. So if you don't like it, you can send it back for free.

I ordered a foundation finder kit from the B Brown website. It came with 6 samples. I finally found the right color for me. There's enough included to test it more than once. I liked testing it myself on different areas of my face in both natural light and my bathroom light. The BB website is very helpful. You could look there for more info.
