Plasmo, I reckon if you're already using Bobbbi Brown and Mac and trying out their new season collections you are bound to be 'on trend' as they say whatever your age. I like Laura Mercier and Chantecaille too (to be found in any browse round Space NK). But I wouldn't really argue either are better than Bobbi Brown. I always have a good look at new ranges but always come back to those - plus I do think Clinique have some good eye and lip sheer colours and I always get one of the new range of Juicy Tubes each summer (though suspect I'm actually buying more or less the same colour each year!)
