I like her blushes alot. They are very pigmented.
I agree that the line is a bit overpriced tho.

i've tried numerous products over the past few years. i haven't been truly impressed enough with anything to purchase it again, or even use it up completely. i've sold/traded some of the items, and i've tossed or lost some others. i've used numerous lip products, several shimmer bricks, a bunch of shadows, some skin care and fragrance, and assorted other items. everything seemed very overpriced, and frankly, not super high-quality, certainly not what i was expecting for the prices i paid.
i will say, though, in all fairness, i know a few people who really like bobbi brown, however they tend to be much more 'natural' than i am with makeup trends. so perhaps its simply that bobbi brown and i don't work well together because we have different results in mind, if that makes sense.

Lets just say that I spend a lot of time trying to erase the damage that Bobbi Brown Teenage Beauty has caused young ladies.
Have you read her book Bobbi Brown Beauty? She makes a lot of comments akin to 'red lipstick is only for teenagers and if you wear it as an adult you'll look silly and everyone will laugh at you', which is a complete crock. A lot of her attitudes towards using certain colours and products make her make-up ethos very stand-offish towards both very pale woman and women of colour.
Make-up isn't about making people look like dear old Zandra Rhodes, but neither is it about saying that if you use anything else apart from bone and beige people will think you're a hooker.
She's a good make-up artist, but her attitude towards people finding enjoyment and pleasure in make-up and colour sucks hardcore.

I've never actually tried any of her makeup but I do have the book and she's definitely all for the natural look. It's pretty biased.

I'm okay with her preferring a natural look, but I didn't know she was so hardcore about it. I've never read her book, but now I have good reason not to!

Wow am I glad to have found a thread where someone has started to talk about the Bobbi Brown "philosophy" because i have a little story from earlier today...
So I was in Macys today and had just gotten done with a nice haul at my Mac counter (see my haul post lol). Anyways, I decided to venture off to the other counters to try something new and I walk over to the Bobbi Brown counter. I don't personally own any of her products but I have read about her in the past and discovered that, like me, she was from the chicago area and used to go to the makeup counters to "play" as a teen, so I felt connected and inspired and decided to check out the counter. Well I guess i must have had too much of a "Mac face" on because as soon as i go there the m/a gives me the ice look of death. I smile nervously and she asks if I want anything. Before I could even get an answer out she starts reciting the Bobbi Brown "philosophy" that you guys are speaking of, all while looking me up and down. I wasn't even wearing that much makeup. I had Expensive pink on my lids with blacktrack f/l and mascara with clear l/g, not a lot at all. Well, she definitely scared me away...so I walked over to the Benefit counter and the m/a was very nice and showed me all of their products and was very descriptive since i told her i don't own anything Benefit. I ended up getting their "Dr. Feel Good". I really like their stuff, I'll probably be around there a lot more often now.
Sorry about my little rant, actually I'm not even that upset about the whole Bobbi Brown thing because I have a feeling I won't be missing much

Why on earth would you train an MA to behave like that? If I were going to push a natural look, I'd oversell "You'd look so beautiful with less color" than being bitchy about it.

I own a couple of eye shadows by Bobbi Brown that I wear quite often. Her line is a bit pricey (especially since the packaging is very low key-like MAC black packaging) but it's made in the US which is a factor in the price. Her line does appear to be geared to the professional woman (outside of the fashion/makeup/show business careers) and the more natural woman.
P.S. I have stopped at that counter several times, and have never (thank goodness) been given a speech.
