Bobbi Brown: Moisture Rich Foundation SPF 15

BOBBI BROWN
Moisture Rich Foundation SPF 15




Due to Bobbi's own personal battle with dry skin, it was only natural that her entire range was formulated around the idea of producing the best ingredients that will give dry skin that tall glass of water. Case in point. My skin type. The majority of the foundation within the range will end up leaving you with a fully hydrated and translucent finish. So for those matte lovers and oily skin types out there, you may want to rain check this range completely.


The Moisture Rich Foundation SPF 15 has a very spreadable and lightweight texture and seemingly melts into the skin upon application. However its spreadable consistency will NOT give you a full coverage straight away, its layering ability is ideal for those who, like myself, consider the ritual of make-up application a therapeutic part of the day, and a nightmare chore for those who are after quick, hassle-free application and instant full coverage.


Without a powder to set, the finish will stay dewy throughout the day; powder will lessen the shine. This foundation's kryptonite however is flash photography. Unlike some foundations, the SPF found in this liquid formula will protect you from the harmful rays of both UVA and UVB, which will end up reflect more light of the skin, hence making your face seem a shade lighter than it is on film. The solution? Turn the flash off or set the foundation with a powder that is a shade darker, this should bring back the colour balance. 

Application tool: Foundation Brush
