Bobbi Brown Skin Long-Wear Weightless Foundation

With the warmer days and recent spate of sunshine, you may have found yourself craving a lighter  foundation but what if you have less than perfect skin? Typically bases that are light and really allow your skin to breathe are less than ideal, when like myself you have acne scarring, open pores and the odd fine line to contend with. As much as I'd love to be able to wear barely anything on my skin, my lack of confidence simply doesn't allow for it, so the fairly newly launched Bobbi Brown Skin Long-Wear Weightless Foundation is nothing short of a revelation.

What do you need from you foundation packaging? I'm pretty easy going as long as the product is easy to dispense and not prone to leaking, I'm happy. As pretty - and dare I say chic - as the Bobbi Brown Skin Long-Wear Weightless Foundation is, the sheer practicality and function it offers is really what is important: the pump disperses just the right amount of product each and every time, there's no mess nor fuss, and perhaps rather surprisingly the glass bottle is rather sturdy. What more can you really ask for?

In the past, high or at least moderate coverage came at a price and no I'm not talking about a hefty price tag, rather the physical texture. Think about every base product you own that covers well and I can all but bet it is a thicker formula, that at times can veer a little heavy and dare I say suffocating at times? Well the new Bobbi Brown Skin Long-Wear Weightless Foundation questions everything you know to be true about high coverage liquid foundations thanks to the lighter than air, gel-like texture. Gone are the days in which you had to endure base products that are joyless and mask-like in order to cover a little pigmentation or blemishes.

Best described the Bobbi Brown Skin Long-Wear Weightless Foundation, in terms of consistency at least, is a marriage of skincare and tint. As this is a gel-like texture, it effortlessly glides on to the skin with a cooling sensation - regardless of how you choose to apply it (sponge, fingers, brush and all that is in-between), the slip of the liquid allows for effortless and seamless application each and every time. In my opinion, Bobbi Brown Skin Long-Wear Weightless Foundation is the base product all of us who have less than perfect skin, and yet loathe the feeling of heavy creams and liquids have been waiting for - the weightless texture all but feels like a nourishing serum on the skin, which is beyond comfortable to experience.

The true magic and dare I say selling point of Bobbi Brown Skin Long-Wear Weightless Foundation is the fact that it does indeed offer moderate to full coverage depending on how you chose to apply it: for high levels of cover, I suggest stippling on in light layers, paying attention to the areas that need it most. The good news is that like most Bobbi Brown bases you can be as heavy or as light handed as you wish as this will not cake nor gather into fine lines or pores. The term adaptable was all but made for this base as it seemingly hydrates the drier areas of my face and yet keeps my oil t-zone in check, which should make this suitable for all skin types. The finish of Bobbi Brown Skin Long-Wear Weightless Foundation is demi-matte (or natural matte), it creates the illusion of a perfectly balanced complexion without appearing flat or lifeless. If that is not enough, this truly does live up to the long wear claim, with it effortlessly passing the 12 hour wear time test.

Who said lightweight bases couldn't cover?
