I have never tried Bobbi Brown, so I can't say.  Your best bet is to visit different makeup counters and have them try a couple things out.  Generally, if they give you a full make-over, you are often expected to buy something.  But if you tell them up front you are trying different make-up brands and you aren't planning on making a purchase that day, they will still demo the product for you (that is their job) and that way you can have time to think about it and try other things. 

I went to MAC and had them do a couple different foundations on me.  The first one was a creme foundation that I thought was too heavy, and then they did a liquid that i liked better.  I made the mistake of not looking at the foundation in natural lighting before I bought it and then at home I saw it was really the wrong color for me.  I was able to return the foundation even though I had used it and got another shade instead.  I had them do my whole face, eyes, cheeks, lips, etc.  I ended up buying foundation, powder, eye shadow and  lipstick from them.  I went to sephora and bought lip liner, eye liner, and blush in similar colors to the ones MAC recommended but for much less money.
