gets boring after a while. BB always pushes the neutral palette but she
would be out of business if we stuck to just the same colors and never
looked for variations. This is probably what the MA thinks is your best
look, but from my experience I can say I own at least 10 BB lipsticks
and use them all. If I wear lavender, I do not want to wear a red
lipstick; instead I use plum shimmer. I am currently using a BB pink
blush but I also like the variety of Nars blushes or the Guerlain
terracotta for a bronzer in the warmer weather. As you mentioned your
makeup looked very neutral but IMO I like those shimmer palettes for
evening especially this time of the year. At least you had a positive
experience.

everything else BB has ever offered, I would say, NO, this is not my
experience. I have always gotten a ton of choices., even though I am fair
w/dark hair/eyes. If anyone was to tell me that I am limited to one lipstick,
one blush forever, I would have walked away.
I have been lucky to have had a great counter manager, who has left for Chicago
this past summer. If anyone is around Marshall Fields in Chicago (I believe
the downtown store) ask for Sara.. a real sweetie. Anyway, the BB ladies have
given me great ideas over the years. Neutral looks, dramatic looks, even one
going so far as to coutour my under eyes do that my puffy eyes looked less
puffy!
So I would say you had a bad experience.. sorry about that. I hope you give
another MA another try. I am sure there are endless possibilities for you and
BB.

Bobbie Brown – limited colour choice typical?

Hi Everyone, esp. those familiar with Bobbi Brown –– Is the information I
received at yesterday's BB Master Class typical of the BB philosphy?
I've been interested in the line for a while, and when the one store in
town that carries BB offered a Master Class, I booked.
The MA used me as the model, did half my face (she did an amazing job,
btw), then left to catch a plane. While the other class participants did
their makeup, a store MA finished my makeup. I didn't get a chance to do
my own makeup but that was ok.
Now, here's the curious thing, to me. My makeup looked great, very
neutral, and I asked what other blush/lipstick colours I could use for
different looks, esp. the palettes (Slope,Dusk, etc.). Nope. Not for
me. I should only use the one blush (Sand Pink), the one lipstick
(Brown), and maybe Raisin. Where's the pink? the Red? the rosy mauve?
I can understand sticking to one foundation, esp. in the winter (she chose
0 Porcelain with white eye base powder –– sounds very light but it worked
with my pale skin, dark hair & green eyes), but is it typical of BB to
allow such limited colour choices for lips/cheeks?
It did look really good... any comments? alexis

Yes, I think it is typical of Bobbi Brown's philosophy but certainly information I
received at yesterday's BB Master Class typical of the BB philosphy?

"> Yes, I think it is typical of Bobbi Brown's philosophy but certainly
need things to jazz it up. go to another counter (BB if you like) and talk
to them about what else you could use if you wanted a red lip (think
cranberry sheer ) or plummy look

and exactly WHY BB came out with shimmers and variations on a theme. You would be out of business if we stuck to just the same colors and never
looked for variations. This is probably what the MA thinks is your best
look, but from my experience I can say I own at least 10 BB lipsticks
and use them all. If I wear lavender, I do not want to wear a red
