Bobbi Brown Oil foundation in Almond E.Q.

[miinky]

Hi guys,

To all the ladies that wear the Bobbi Brown Oil free liquid foundation in the Almond shade, what is your shade equivalence in other foundation brands?

Sorry ... I can't help you with ALMOND equivilencies but I can equate two lighter shades for you. Golden (6.0) is most similar to MAC NC45 and Warm Almond is a little darker than MAC NW43 but a different tone. A few have suggested that NW43 is the shade between NC45 and NC50. NW43 isn't yellow toned though.

Almond has red under-tones and Warm almond has more of the yellow undertone. These are comparisons with MAC SFF.
I got warm almond initially and its too dark for me as is NC50.
Golden = a little deeper than NC45
Warm almond = NC50. Almost identical but maybe a little more yellow/orange.
Almond = NW45ish but, not AS red.

You're welcome Miinky. I have a hard time finding a match too so I've tried most dark shades in most brands.
Bobbi brown's colors seem pretty consistent across products but, heads up the oil-free foundation runs a tad lighter to me.
