I've been using this product every single day since I bought it which is how I know it's a winner!
My skin is dehydrated and I occasionally get dry patches which seem to take ages to go away meaning
regular foundation doesn't usually sit right on my skin or has too much coverage.
Ladies & gentlemen I give to you a solution!
I've heard this item described as a lightweight alternative to regular foundations for dry/dehydrated skin.
You can also use this as a base under foundation but I usually wear it on its own.
It does have a tendency to make me a bit shiny so I always set it with a powder.
This has VERY light coverage-think tinted moisturiser but it does hydrate my skin throughout the day.
I use this product to even out my skintone on days when I don't need to look "flawless".
Also-the packaging is so luxurious and gorrrgeous!
I have the lightest shade they make called Alabaster.
It's a wonderful match for me & would highly recommend Bobbi Brown foundations
if you're looking for a very fair/yellow toned product.
It has a light, pleasant herbal scent which I don't think would offend anyone.
I've already used quite a bit of it & because of the brush marks it looks like it has a mousse consistency.
I can assure you this is the same texture as a regular daycream.
I stay the hell away from mousse foundations.
I like to apply this product using a Real Techniques Buffing Brush.
I use this brush for all of my foundations & was glad to discover it worked well with this one too.
Here I am looking a lot like Steve Carell in The 40-Year-Old Virgin but it was the best I could do.
I'm not wearing any other makeup besides eyebrow powder, lip balm & mascara because I wanted to show you what this product ACTUALLY does.
As you can see I have a few scars around my mouth and forehead which will not be covered
no matter how much of this stuff I apply. Thank god for concealer.
Anyway, I absolutely love this moisturizing balm.
I like that it lets my freckles out for the world to see and it doesn't make me want to claw my skin off halfway through the day (which is always a plus).
Do you think you'll be giving this product a try even with the hefty price tag?
For me it's VERY worth it because of the shade, and the extra moisturizing benefits throughout the day.
