Wow! What a beautiful foundation! So far this is the best foundation I've EVER used. It is about a notch up from a tinted moisturizer, it is long-wearing, weightless and seamless. Seriously, it feel like NOTHING on your face but covers beautifully. I've been using a sample of this for the last 4 days, I will definetely purchase as this is HG material. They have BEAUTIFUL colors and 17 shades! For ladies that are in the MAC NC 42-44 range "Honey" is a great color!

I have normal/dry skin, this is moisturizering but not too "greasy" (translate dewy, IMO). It has a natural "skin tone" look, not too matte, not no dewy, just perfect!

I saw this and you know I was tempted. I love BB and Honey is my color also. I will have to get a sample to try it out. But I love BB. (I notice you and I wear pretty much the same colors.) I am a MAC NC43-44.

I got a sample of this and it felt like NOTHING on the skin. I think it would be perfect for someone who has great skin to begin with. However, I do NOT. So, I like more coverage. But, this is a LOVELY foundation.

Tee,

I'm SO glad I tried this! I've noticed that we wear alot of the same colors as well. Can you recommend some blushes that you really love? I just bought MAC "LoveJoy" and it was different :ohwell:.:ohwell:

I've had my eye on this foundation since the introductory email. I'm so glad you've reviewed it.

I may have to try this. I am looking to try a new foundation. I have been a die hard MAC user but, the foundation seems to be breaking me out recently.:perplexed

Bobbi Brown and NYX color with then without Flash. (The BB color looks more true to the color with the flash; the NYX looks more true to color without the flash. HTH)
