and if so - which?
I have had samples but none of them seem to give that much coverage. Looking at the moisture rich one.

I've got the moisture rich one but I never use it because it brings me out in spots. I do like Bobbi Brown make up in general though. Good colours. I used to use the tinted moisture balm (really thick tinted moisturising cream....good if you've got dry skin and don't want much coverage) and that was lovely and didn't give me spots.

I've got the 'Skin' one and really like it. Good coverage without being cakey and I think it blends really well. I have Chanel Vitalumiere as well but find Bobbi Brown's shades are nicer on my skin.

Yes yes yes!!! I cannot be without my Luminous Moisturising Foundation. I find it great: good texture, very buildable. Also the stick foundation is great, if you wanted one of those - very portable.
I've found the shade range to be perfect for me - very pale, yellow tones. Sound great, don't I?!
Did you go to counter and ask advice? I don't find them pushy (actually, would not really care, I never feel obliged to buy if I don't want to); they can advise on skin type/coverage etc. Do do do check in natural light before you buy however - it will show up any mis-matches that you might not spot in store.

The luminous moisturising foundation gives good coverage

I am fine with the colour- Porcelain- which is goood- but they all feel very thin after using my current one.( now about to be discontinued which is tragic- i am panicking.)
I did have some samples and they all seemed quite oliy- my skin is not oily but I don't like a shiny look.

OP, I am Porcelain too! What do you use now, that is being discontinued?
Did you get a sample of the Long Lasting foundation? A soft-matte finish IIRC.

I use Clinique Repair Wear in Alabaster wich I looooooooove.

One reviewer described it as being "airbrushed" which says it all. it has good coverage but is still light to apply, as long as you use only a tiny dab.
They are stopping making the paler shades.

I did not have a sample of the long lasting one- i think the assistant thought it would be too drying- but I could get a sample to try.

Another fan here of BB luminous moisturising foundation. But I have 'mature' skin and need a bit more coverage.
Although just after me buying it - I went to get my touch eclat and the YSL girl asked if I had tried the touche eclat foundation! Drat - I'll try it next time I'm renewing.
