My go to Foundation!
1.9.16
This has been my must have foundation for many years. I have tried quite a few foundations and still nothing beats this. The foundation itself has a really nice finish, which is something I look for. However if you have any sort of facial scarring or discolouration and want to cover them, then this foundation is not for you. I’m quite lucky I don’t have much spots so I only need a medium coverage foundation. Unfortunately I’m oily as hell so my main concerns are to keep my face as matte as possible ALL DAY! This foundation claims to last for up to 12 hours even in the most humid conditions.
I always prime my face before I put my foundation on just for extra protection, but with or without primer, this still looks good. I use about 2 pumps for a nice coverage for work and blend it with clean moisturized skin using the Real Techniques buffing brush for a flawless natural finish.
Another reason why I LOVE Bobbi Brown products are because they offer so many shades for all skin types. As a woman of colour I really struggle to find a foundation that matches me as close as possible to my skin colour. With this particular foundation there is 19 shades available. My shade is warm honey 5.5, which sits in the middle of all the shades available. The glycerin and shea butter keeps skin feeling moisturised while a gel base creates a lightweight finish that stays colour-true. It protects skin from future damage thanks to broad spectrum SPF 15 with antioxidant vitamins C and E, which is always a double bonus!
