Dear Bobbi Brown, your foundation Stick absolutely rocks. Heart you! -Karen
A girl’s gotta have options, ya know?

Peki yaparım. I like having ’em — that’s for sure.

I’m the gal who shows up for a flight at the airport with a suitcase dedicated to black shoes (and yet when it pertains to purses, why do I try to fit everything into one?).

Guess I like being prepared…

And when I find single products that supply me with options, they’re like appeal gold! — or appeal pirate treasure, as in the case of Bobbi Brown’s foundation Sticks.

When it pertains to foundation, I also like options. The a lot more the merrier. options for different occasions, like tinted moisturizer for casual days, medium-coverage liquid foundations for weekdays, full-coverage stuff for pictures — and don’t even get me started about finishes and textures; we’ll be here ’til the next season of The walking Dead.

Since I found Bobbi Brown’s $43 foundation Stick in Honey (my shade, and one of 20 available now in Bobbi’s permanent line on counters and online), I haven’t wanted to use anything else.

I’ve worn it each day this month because, in a nutshell, it rocks.

One of Bobbi’s top makeup artists, Marc Reagan, introduced me to it at the Saks fifth Avenue Bobbi brown Master class a few weeks back, referring to it as “one thing every woman needs in her makeup bag.”

Homeboy was SO RIGHT! I’m this close to sending him a fruit basket with a note that reads, “Thank you for changing my life!”

First of all, it’s like Mr. wonderful (read: flexible). because it’s able to go from sheer to full coverage in the blink of an eye, it’s generally like getting a bunch of different face products in a single creamy stick.

Say I want a sheer look like a tinted moisturizer — very light coverage. I’ll just load a fan brush with product directly from the stick. and when I want a a lot more polished look for pics or events — medium to full coverage — I’ll use a flat foundation brush instead.

Oh, and it even doubles as concealer! To disguise the little darkened, post-acne spots I have on my chin, I swipe a synthetic sponge across the tip, which I then pat wherever I need extra coverage. If I need a touch-up later in the day, I just reapply on top of whatever else I happen to be wearing, considering that it layers like a boss on top of cream and powder products.

I nearly can’t trick the stuff. No matter how I wear it, I think it looks like real, skin because it has one of those matte finishes with a bit life to it. It’s not completely flat.

It also never, ever feels heavy or like it’s suffocating my pores, and it doesn’t oxidize. It lasts on my combination dry/oily skin all day long, but I’m not sure how it would fare on incredibly oily skin types… I have a feeling the creamy formula might scoot away.

Swatch out! It’s Bobbi brown foundation Stick in Honey…
Seriously, I have no idea how I made it through my days without this (well, I do, but you know what I mean). Bayıldım.
