As I’ve gotten older, I’ve come to realize that my intentions the way I wear my makeup has changed. When I was in high school, I was all about the glitter with Urban Decay and Hard Candy (R.I.P) eyeshadows, eyeliners and lipsticks. I would only wear concealer, powder, and foundation on special occasions. During my college years, I slowly introduced concealer, foundation and powders with MAC cosmetics, but the colors were never quite right, the makeup would appear to be caked on, so I never looked natural.

These days, I still wear bright eyeshadow and bright lipsticks, but in a more classic sense. I have, however, changed the way that I look at foundation,concealer and powder. For the longest time, I didn’t feel like I needed these items in order to complete my look. I still don’t feel it is something that I need, but I know that my dark circles can be hidden with concealer, foundation can even out my skin tone and powder can brighten my face..

So when a nice representative approached me at Nordstrom about trying Bobbi Brown makeup, I was pretty hesitant. As a former glitter-lover, the color pallette choices didn’t do much for me. And on an even more superficial note, the packaging never jumped out at me. Well, this lady was not about to take no for an answer and persuaded me to sit down and at least try the concealer.

She was right. The concealer blended right in with my skin tone and the dark circles were drastically diminished. Before I could stop myself, I yelped out, “I’ll take it.”

A few weeks later, I was looking for a new foundation and I immediately went back to Bobbi Brown’s counter. The representative suggested Bobbi Brown’s Moisture Rich Foundation and applied it to my face. The foundation felt weightless, went on smoothly and blended in for a very natural look.

Needless to say, I’m now a Bobbi Brown convert. All of these years, the line has been in existence and I’ve walked right past the counters. I didn’t give it a chance. Or maybe I just wasn’t ready.
