Bobbi Brown skin foundation - cheaper alternatives?

[Appervine]

I'm just coming to the end of a bottle of Bobbi Brown skin foundation which I really like as it's very light and i'm not a big foundation person. I'm on a bit of a budget and wondered whether anyone could recommend a cheaper alternative? Thank you!

Oh, this is the exact question I'll need to be asking in a few months. Interested in any suggestions you get as I love skin foundation too.

It's lovely isn't it, whereis. And actually my bottle lasted for ages but it would be good to know if there's something similar around.

No. Not if you're pale.

If you've found something that works for you and is the right shade, I would be very tempted to stick with it. Debenhams and John Lewis have 10% off it at the moment. I know that's not much off!

If there is I've not found it. Amazing foundation for my yellow skin.

[Appervine]

Ah shame. I think I'll just have to bite the bullet. It is great stuff. And yes, I am really pale.

I've tried many others recommended on here. False economy. Best bet is to ask a friend to pick it up for you in duty free if you know anyone traveling over Christmas.

What colour do you use Appervine ? I have a spare bottle here,only used a bit as it tends to go stupidly shiny on my skin and highlights my winter dry patches. Will check in a bit but it's the second lightest shade I think

Hi Triptrap - that's very sweet. I use warm sand. Would be happy to pay you if it is the same shade...

I have used it for a while but now hate it- too watery and no staying power.

Other light foundations include a couple by Clarins, Perfectly Real ( Clinique) and also Superbalanced Clinique.

Just seen your other posts OP- if you are Warm Sand in B Brown you should have the pick of quite a few foundations; I am Porcelain in B Brown which is 2 or 3 shades lighter than you!

Hi I saw your post and I was wondering the same thing. Did you find a cheaper alternative?
