What a tawny Asian girl should have - Bobbi Brown Oil Free Even Finish Foundation SPF 15

My favorite all natural foundation - Bobbi Brown's Oil-Free Even Finish Foundation

I'm yellow!

"Have you ever seen a photo of you with your face fairer than your neck all because you're using the wrong foundation shade? I know I do!"

I picked up foundation during my mid years in university. I've always hated using foundation or pressed powder cos it always ended up too bright on me. I have a tawny, olive skin (yellowish brown) and most cosmetics I found in local stores rarely suit my skin color as they have limited pallet of colors and most of them gives a 'glowy' effect especially taken with flash cameras.

Not until I was introduced to Bobbi Brown. I managed to get my first foundation using the paycheck from my internship. It's a little pricey (RM 130 for 30ml) but it lasted me for the whole year. Erm, to be honest, I'm still using my almost-3-year-old foundation, which is not advisable since you should only keep it for 1 year max. Do correct me if I'm wrong.

Earlier I bought Honey (5), but a year later, the sales assistant told me that my skin suits Warm Natural (4.5), which is a shade lighter.

Difference between the two colors.

Blended tones...so Honey or Warm Natural?

Bare in mind, liquid foundation suits those with normal to dry skin, which is a bummer for me cos my skin from dry skin, has now becoming oilier starting this year.

I guess I need to convert to this Oil-Free Even Finish Compact Foundation.
Darn, anyone wants to trade this with my liquid foundation? :D
