Makeup.Skincare.Color. Brighten your look.

All the Colors of the Wind

One of the things I've been trying to accumulate in my extensive makeup collection is foundation and concealer that will match everyone's skintone.  Obviously this won't be accomplished in 1 product, but here's a palette that will.

The Bobbi Brown BBU Palette.  It features: 9 shades of Corrector for extra dark circles, 12 shades of Creamy Concealer for average undereye darkness, and 17 shades of Foundation Stick to give skin a smooth, even finish. Corrector (.04oz./1.2g each); Concealer (.03 oz./ 1.1g each); Foundation Stick (.05 oz./ 1.7g each).

I'm trying to figure out how much product each little well contains, because this palette is not cheap.  In fact, it's a whopping $250.  If you're serious about becoming a makeup artist, this is a great tool.  Not content to just focus on foundation, Bobbi Brown also has a palette of lip colors.

I love this lip palette too!  It's $200 though.  Man, I wish these weren't Limited Edition, otherwise I'd promise myself I'd buy them by saving $1 a day or something.  For those of you like me, who won't be spending $450 on makeup, Bobbi does have the option of building your own customized palette.  It'd be a great way to create a personalized kit of all the essentials - foundation, blush, eyes, and lips.


You can fill it with six products, so create a palette of eye colors, lipsticks, blushes, foundations...you name it!  Start with this empty palette for just $10, then add your favorite shades. 
Foundation Stick Compacts are limited edition, so if you want these in the palette, you'd better hurry.  I'd buy a couple, one for the pale winter skin and one for after that gorgeous summer glow.
Shimmer Blush or Regular Blush. $22 each.
Shimmer Bluish: 7 Shades

19 Blush Shades to choose from

Lip Quads:  Available in Coral, Pink, or Rose groups.$20 each
If you don't want 4 shades, you can add individual Lipstick or Lipgloss compacts.

Lipstick: 3 shades, $20 each

Lipgloss: 6 shades, $20 each

Eyeshadows: Sparkle or Regular, $24 each.  Shades may change seasonally.
