I have tried a few new foundations and this Bobbi Brown one is one of them. I’d seen some tutorials with them and the finish was very glowy and it seemed moisturizing so I wanted to try this on for myself. I got the color Honey which was warmer than what I normally go with but that’s what I needed after coming back from vacation.
The Intensive Skin Serum Foundation is a moisturizing foundation and has SPF 40 and so it works and applies more like skincare instead of just being regular foundation. That being said, it does stay on your skin and binds so that it doesn’t move too much.
This foundation applies and looks like an oil on your skin. It’s super glossy to the point that it’s impossible to even powder it because the powder just cakes on the foundation. Because it’s so glossy, I find that it does move a bit and you would have to use other cream products with it – a cream blush and a cream bronze because those products will blend in more seamlessly.
I found that this foundation really isn’t for me. I liked the glowy finish but it was just too greasy and moisturizing for my skin. I like a bit of glow but this was just oily looking but without the benefit of actually just being a skincare oil.
Available at the Bobbi Brown counter. $83.
