I actually got this foundation back in July last year. When I first tried it,I wasn't that impressed. I found it didn't wear that long and slid off my face.
But....I seen it in my make up drawer last week and thought I'd give it another go and been using it every day since. I have to say I really like it. It's a thick liquid foundation but lightweight with a medium to full coverage with a matte finish and builds really well. I apply with my Real Techniques Buffing brush and bluff the foundation into the skin. I then use my sponge to add more and blend out. I found this was the best way to get an even finish. They claim this foundation to have 12 hour wear. I did have to touch up in the afternoon, especially round my nose and mouth. As I get oily in these areas I usually do have to powder anyway, so nothing new there. I think the key to making your make up last longer is to apply a primer suited to your skin type and leave it to soak in to your skin before applying foundation as this can also make it slide off.
The formula is hydrating yet oil-free. With glycerin and Shea butter the skin is kept feeling moisturised while the gel base creates a light finish that stays true to colour. There is nothing worse than foundation that oxidises on oily skin....getting darker as the days goes on.
It is quite expensive at £31 but I this it's worth the price. I will definatly use this up. What I like about Bobbi Brown foundations too is they have a yellow undertone to most colours. Which I love.
Have you tried this? What did you think?
