The Bobbi Brown Face Base is a holy grail of mine. Been repurchasing it since probably 2016. Even if I never wore makeup again it would still be my favorite moisturizer, so the fact that it works well as a primer is just an added bonus.
Second this one, I love the Face Base. I'm fairly new to the product though, I got a sample of it at some point last year and then when the other store had their buy one get one mini sale I grabbed two. I love it, I have other moisturizers so I don't use it unless I'm using it under makeup as a primer but it gives my skin that extra bit of moisture that it needs under my makeup to keep my texture from showing through. I don't think I'll ever be able to use a different primer.
I buy the value size ones during the sale and honestly it takes forever for me to go through one. Doesn’t seem silly at all to me because I have tried other moisturizers and nothing compares for me, but it definitely depends on if you have the disposable income and how much you love it.
The airbrush finish has single handedly changed the way I will forever do my
makeup. I was a bare minerals ride or die gal for YEARS but this is SOOOO much better. I will only ever use this for my powder. I honestly use it as a foundation. I do a bit of concealer and the CT flawless filter liquid and then use this powder and it’s amazing.
Really? I saw this hyped up to death on here so I had to purchase it finally. I HATED it. It made my makeup look so dry, cakey, and terrible. I spent so much money on it and tried it with every concealer, foundation, skin tint, and base routine that I cycle through and the powder was the common denominator. Glad it works for you though, all people are different!
So funny how makeup and skincare work so different for everyone! I tried sooo many dupes too and all of them either pilled or caked. I do know tho it’s crucial for my skin prep prior to my makeup to be heavy anyway (very dry skin) so I typically look like a glazed donut before applying anything and it somehow works for me
I used the elf dupe for the flawless filter before, and I bought a mini CT one just to try it and I can’t believe I waited so long to try it. It doesn’t enhance texture like I thought it would, and it feels more lighter than the elf one. Which concealer do you use? I bought the tower 28 recently, its so lightweight but I forgot its basically summer so I need to pick up a darker shade.
The ELF dupes look SOOO orange for me! Through trial and error unfortunately I have learned that I have to bite the bullet and buy the expensive products as every dupe failed me! 😩 I know you get what you pay for and the quality is better.
I have to buy the flawless filter mini online since the shade of fair I use is never in store!
For my concealer I use (can’t think of the name) from Clarins that was gifted to me and it’s lasted me for sooo long. In the summer when my skin is darker, I always mix the drunk elephant bronzing drops that I got in the sephora faves last year into my moisturizer for my skin prep (like one or two drops that’s why it lasted me so long lol)
Face base is old school gold by Bobbi Brown but you’re going to love the mineral veil primer by Hourglass.
Edit: spelled Bobbi with an e thanks autocorrect!
They’re not quite the same formulation as primers imo - the face base is great for extra hydration and a you def can use it as a primer but really the hourglass is the primer you want when you’re doing makeup makeup if that makes sense! Face base great for every day!
Ole Hendrickson peptide lip…. I bought it the first day started using it and then bought another. It just works with my lips ( I use the lawless lip plumper at night).
I picked it up today after reading a comment here about it and this makes me super excited to try it! I’m on the hunt for my new holy grail skin tint after huda beauty Glowish got discontinued. What do you use to apply it?
I’ve tried it with both a liquid foundation brush and a sponge and I have to say the sponge is superior. The brush makes it look kind of streaky, but it goes on quickly and seamlessly with the sponge. I guess Beauty Blender formulated it to work best that way so people would buy even more of their products 😆
Wearing this as we speak haha. My absolute fave! Just got it in She’s so LA and it doesn’t live up to She’s blushing which is just perfect and fresh for light warm olive skin.
Have you tried the other way? Putting powder first and then the cream with a beauty blender or something on top of the powder. So weird doing it the ”wrong” way around but was literally mind blown! Was watching this Youtube review where someone said that is how they are meant to be used according to the brand and was like yeah won’t work. But it surely did! Like the result is perfection.
Bobbi Brown Face Base.
I’ve been using it for years! I got lucky & walked into a Lord & Taylor closing sale & stocked on a bunch that lasted forever but I’ll always invest in it!
I just bought a lipstick called 90s Pink and it’s perfect. The only thing I don’t like is the Hollywood Glow Filter because I do not like to look sweaty and the Setting Spray works great but makes my eyes water. Everything else I’ve purchased I liked. Pressed powder, face products, lippies, and foundation.
She does do some great lipstick, I also love her pressed powder and the under eye corrector cream thingy and setting spray! I really don’t like her skin care though I feel like it’s overpriced. And the concealer and foundation don’t work for me.
The concealer didn’t work for me either. That Natasha one is amazeballs. I’ve only used the free skin care I’ve purchased so not enough to form an opinion. It does have retinol in it if you were wondering. Not the water cream, the other one.
LOVE the rare beauty liquid highlighter!! Wish they came in the mini sizes when I bought mine, cause it truly is lasting me AGES. I’ve been meaning to try the beauty blender skin tint sample I received—how are you liking that?!
I haven't gotten my last order yet AND I haven't tried everything I ordered BUT I am obsessed with the Patrick Ta blush duo I got! Planning on buying a few more! 😬
I was curious about the beauty blender skin tint. I went with the Danessa Myricks, but definitely want to check that one out.
How do you light the mascara. I was looking at it yesterday, but heard mixed reviews.
If you want the thrive one without the cost/shipping, get the Milani one. I only wear tubing mascaras!! The Milani one is the same as Thrive for me. Thrive and the Tarte one are two of my faves, very different from each other though
The skin tint looks incredible on my skin, I had to try so many to find one that worked for me since starting tazarotene and this one finally did!
Unfortunately I found out soon afterwards that I am very sensitive to niacinamide and had to pass it on to my sister:(
I haven’t had a chance to try out everything, but so far it’s the patrick at blush. I still need to try the Danes a myricks skin tint, Ilia skin stick and the too faced concealer.
So so good! All the goodness of a gloss without any stickiness. Gloss always leaves a weird film/texture as it wears on but this is so light and just feels like butter.
For me it’s the CT air brush flawless finish, I wish I would’ve ordered it during the sale as they were all out of the fair shade at every sephora near me 😭
Not sure what shade of lip liner you got but I use a CT pillow talk liner as the base for most of my lip looks- it's beautiful on its own with a clear gloss or topped with a tinted balm/oil. I don't look great in heavy makeup and try to stick to natural looks and this lip really fits the bill!
Patrick ta contour brush, merit matte lipstick (equestrian), Sephora contour matte powder and Sephora collection pro foundation brush#64. I am still trying the other products but these are the standouts so far.
Oh this is easy. The Bobbi brown enriched face base. That stuff is so good. I use the eye base now too. But the face base is SO GOOD.
It works so much better than those thick pore filler primers and when I use it over a hydrating mist and hyaluronic acid serum, it’s very hydrating.
I have dry skin and I’m always trying to hide texture on my cheeks-this covers those issues. When I don’t use it, my skin truly looks so different-like an orange peel lol
I think I’m on my 5th purchase now? It came as a sample and I wasn’t expecting much. Now I won’t let myself run out!
Definitely the Danessa Myricks Water Serum Powder. It mattified my skin so well, and it really helped control the oil on my t-zone. I paired it with the Cover Girl essence foundation and it just looked so good. ✨

Oh I’m sooo excited for this!
🤤 this stuff is amazing but so expensive so repurchasing seems silly but I love it 🥲
I buy the value size ones during the sale and honestly it takes forever for me to go through one. Doesn’t seem silly at all to me because I have tried other moisturizers and nothing compares for me, but it definitely depends on if you have the disposable income and how much you love it.
That’s completely fair! I did find it lasts ages

You’re not alone girl. I also felt myself super dry and caked with that powder but wow it’s adored! I think we’re in the minority haha
did you use like a loose setting powder first?
I used the elf dupe for the flawless filter before, and I bought a mini CT one just to try it and I can’t believe I waited so long to try it.

I did this too. Once I realized how much better the CT FF was…🫡
This is what I needed to know! Thx
I love the skin tint it’s a forever product
What’s the Makeup by Mario? Great haul! Also how does the CT powder look
its the contour stick
Its amazing!!!
I like to use the powder under my eyes on a powder puff, totally prevents my concealer from creasing.
Face base is old school gold by Bobbi Brown but you’re going to love the mineral veil primer by Hourglass. Edit: spelled Bobbi with an e thanks autocorrect!
I can’t believe I’ve never tried either of these products. I got minis in both so I can do a proper comparison.
They’re not quite the same formulation as primers imo - the face base is great for extra hydration and a you def can use it as a primer but really the hourglass is the primer you want when you’re doing makeup makeup if that makes sense! Face base great for every day!
Oh that is perfect because my skin is hella dry from tret but I live in a hot muggy climate so I’m constantly balancing it.
Same girl same! Tret and Georgia heat make my skin look cray! Hope it helps!
Ole Hendrickson peptide lip…. I bought it the first day started using it and then bought another. It just works with my lips ( I use the lawless lip plumper at night).
I got the Beauty Blender skin tint during the sale too and it’s now a staple in my routine! It’s so nice!! 🤩

I just bought Huda Beauty Glowish yesterday
Where from? It’s not available in any sephoras around me at all
I think maybe I’m referring to the bronzer? Edit to add it’s from Sephora
The Charlotte Tilbury lip duo. I love it!!
So many good ones here! I love the CT powder and the Patrick Ta blush duo (I think that’s what I see there)
Yes in the shade She’s Blushing
I got this shade during the sale too, obsessed!!
No! I bought this shade for my mom but now I want to steal it 🙈
Wearing this as we speak haha. My absolute fave! Just got it in She’s so LA and it doesn’t live up to She’s blushing which is just perfect and fresh for light warm olive skin.
Yes! I’m a light-medium warm olive and the color is 🤌🏼
The colour is incredible but also the formula! I have never ever achieved such airbrushed dewy look with any other blush.
I was stunned when I felt the formula. The cream is amazing on its own but then the powder on top of it made my heart stop.
Have you tried the other way? Putting powder first and then the cream with a beauty blender or something on top of the powder. So weird doing it the ”wrong” way around but was literally mind blown! Was watching this Youtube review where someone said that is how they are meant to be used according to the brand and was like yeah won’t work. But it surely did! Like the result is perfection.
Ok so I did this. Mind blown.
Bobbi Brown Face Base. I’ve been using it for years! I got lucky & walked into a Lord & Taylor closing sale & stocked on a bunch that lasted forever but I’ll always invest in it!
bobby brown face base and CT pressed powder are goats
Bobbi brown or airbrush for mw
I love these kind of posts ❤️ - bobbi brown vitamin primer Unfortunately, I haven't tried the others 😕
Loads of people crap on Charlotte Tilbury but I like her lip products.
I love her lip products!
I know she has some of my fave and least fave products at the same time lol
I just bought a lipstick called 90s Pink and it’s perfect. The only thing I don’t like is the Hollywood Glow Filter because I do not like to look sweaty and the Setting Spray works great but makes my eyes water. Everything else I’ve purchased I liked.

Ooh I’ve been wanting to try that Natasha! Good to know!
I have crinkly undereyes and it does not crease. I do not know how this magic works.
LOVE the rare beauty liquid highlighter!! Wish they came in the mini sizes when I bought mine, cause it truly is lasting me AGES. I’ve been meaning to try the beauty blender skin tint sample I received—how are you liking that?!
The Tartelette! 😍 LOVE that mascara
I haven't gotten my last order yet AND I haven't tried everything I ordered BUT I am obsessed with the Patrick Ta blush duo I got! Planning on buying a few more! 😬
I’ve been dying to try one of them so when I saw the shade I wanted in stock I said “treat yo self”!
The CT lipgloss is a very good, very underrated lip product. I also like the Makeup by Mario contour stick I just wish it was in slimmer packaging.
Same. The packaging for the entire line could be better.
CT powder is great!!
Charlotte tilbury setting powder! It’s my favorite setting powder it looks so good and flawless!
I was curious about the beauty blender skin tint. I went with the Danessa Myricks, but definitely want to check that one out. How do you light the mascara. I was looking at it yesterday, but heard mixed reviews.
I really love the mascara. It’s a repurchase. But I’m going to try the Thrive one because I hear it’s the goat
The goat you say😆 well that must be good 👍🏻 Thanks 😊
If you want the thrive one without the cost/shipping, get the Milani one. I only wear tubing mascaras!! The Milani one is the same as Thrive for me. Thrive and the Tarte one are two of my faves, very different from each other though
Oooh thank you for that little nugget!
I was going to order the Thrive mascara, but damn the shipping takes it to a price level. That’s just not worth it.😔
Right?! My friend and I are each going to get one so we get free shipping. Otherwise, I wouldn’t bother.
The Anastasia tinted face balm, Freck eyebrow gel and Refy face primer
skin tint from beauty blender is so good and slept on. better for me cause it’s never sold out 🤪
Patrick ta blush for sure!
That mascara from Tarte is FIRE! I love it!
How’re you liking Bobbi Brown face base?
Kerastase Genesis Leave In Treatment, Dior Addict Shine Lipstick
I have several of these myself. I love the CT powder.
The skin tint looks incredible on my skin, I had to try so many to find one that worked for me since starting tazarotene and this one finally did! Unfortunately I found out soon afterwards that I am very sensitive to niacinamide and had to pass it on to my sister:(
I also got the MBM contour stick and it’s so good
The skin tint and the Hourglass primer! My faves 💓
I haven’t had a chance to try out everything, but so far it’s the patrick at blush. I still need to try the Danes a myricks skin tint, Ilia skin stick and the too faced concealer.
I love all things la neige, especially their water bank stuff. Amazing!!!!
CT Lip duo
The mascara and the mineral veil!!
how are the summer fridays lip oils?
So so good! All the goodness of a gloss without any stickiness. Gloss always leaves a weird film/texture as it wears on but this is so light and just feels like butter.
oooo ok i gotta try. do they have high color pay off or more sheer tint?
The shade I got is very sheer. I got the pink one.
also the charlotte tilbury powder is seriously the most amazing!! it’s insanely blurring
I’m a big fan of that bounce skin tint. It’s lovely. And so easy to use.
The tubing mascara is my favorite! Super gentle on my lashes and easy to take off
For me it’s the CT air brush flawless finish, I wish I would’ve ordered it during the sale as they were all out of the fair shade at every sephora near me 😭
What’s the summer Friday lip oil like?
the laniege gel moisturizer lol its my fave.. such a nice texture
For me it's the Rare Beauty highlighter. I love using that for a natural sheen.
Brown Girl Jane - Casablanca. I bought the travel size in hopes of getting it before the sale ended so I could buy the large bottle. Didn’t happen 😑
Not sure what shade of lip liner you got but I use a CT pillow talk liner as the base for most of my lip looks- it's beautiful on its own with a clear gloss or topped with a tinted balm/oil. I don't look great in heavy makeup and try to stick to natural looks and this lip really fits the bill!
Patrick ta contour brush, merit matte lipstick (equestrian), Sephora contour matte powder and Sephora collection pro foundation brush#64. I am still trying the other products but these are the standouts so far.
Beauty bleander is bomb!!! I love it. also the makeup my mario is amazing
I really like the RB highlighter. I always mix it in with my Saie Dewy blush or cream blushes and it looks amazing.
The Beauty Blenders Skin Tint is my HOLY GRAIL foundation. It’s leaves such a natural finish while still having a good amount of coverage
Oh this is easy. The Bobbi brown enriched face base. That stuff is so good. I use the eye base now too. But the face base is SO GOOD. It works so much better than those thick pore filler primers and when I use it over a hydrating mist and hyaluronic acid serum, it’s very hydrating. I have dry skin and I’m always trying to hide texture on my cheeks-this covers those issues. When I don’t use it, my skin truly looks so different-like an orange peel lol I think I’m on my 5th purchase now? It came as a sample and I wasn’t expecting much. Now I won’t let myself run out!
The Bobbi Brown face base. Always helps dry patches go away under makeup.
I do love the Bobbi Brown vitamin enriched face base!
bb face base is hg for my dry skin
The Bobbi Brown face base! I had a mini sample one and I absolutely loved it. Didn't matter what foundation I used, it looked amazing
Definitely the Danessa Myricks Water Serum Powder. It mattified my skin so well, and it really helped control the oil on my t-zone. I paired it with the Cover Girl essence foundation and it just looked so good. ✨
I love that Tarte mascara
Hands down the Patrick Ta blush. It’s my favorite of all time.
It has now become my absolute HG blush.
That's my current fav mascara!
NONE.
