i've never tried bobbi brown but i think i might try it now that you suggest it sewamazing. thanks for the suggestion.

 
i have a friend that uses bobbi brown's entire line, including skin care products. i was quite impressed when she told me what she was using. it looked fantastic.

 
I mentioned that maybe its was bobbi brown's technique was flawed.

Because some of her makeup done on african american women was none to good.

 
do you guys use a sponge? foundation brush? or fingers to apply your foundation?

 
k..

so i tend to use MAC 109 for my liquid foundation.. but sometimes i like to blend even more with my finger(s)... that a no-no?

 
I'm gonna see if I could get a match from the L'oreal True match... I used the postcard thingie and it looks like I'm a sable...

I thought sable was a dark color, but oh well

No, its fine if you do it that way.
 
Kimora Lee Simmons has a makeup line. Have you looked into that? You can take a look on Baby Phat

IMAN - I like

Fashion Fair - ok

Flori Roberts - been too long since I tried it

I don't know what other brands are considered African American makeup, unless you want the drugstore brand Black Opal.

i tried the true match in cappuccino. it started out really good, but once it dried it had this strange grey hue. very un-natural looking on me.

I was kinda wary on the cream and stick foundation.

Yes Bobbi Brown has the BEST foundation ever, I use thei oil free foundation in Warm Walnut and it matches my skin to a T, it practically sinks into my skin and leaves a beautiful, natural finish. It has MAC studio fix beat by alot!

 
Hmmm... I'll hafta stop by Bobbi Brown sometime and get matched...

I tried the mineral lines and I don't really like them that much... I looked either ashy or plasticky... Either way it wasn't natural looking...

 
Yeah they're a little expensive, like $42 so just ask for a sample to try it out. The samples last a while too.

 
I loved my Bobbi Brown, but now its starting to look a bit weird. Urrgh i dunno whats wrong. Its the first Foundation i've ever used and i love it. I also LOVE Revlon Colourstay!

 
Laura Mercier has a small collection.

Now that I think about I don't think she has my color.

Maybe she updated.
