Hello beauties,
Flawless base is the key to a perfect makeup look of course, once the base is right every other thing falls right into place, even though I have some foundations I love, I still don't have that perfect foundation feel yet. I was going for Estee Lauder foundation since I read lovely reviews about it but there are limited shades here in Malaysia(quite disappointing), anyway I decided to go into Bobbi Brown store and after testing out I came out with the Long Wear Even Finish Foundation and my match is 6.5 Warm Almond.
The packaging is sleek and simple, it comes with a pump which is a plus for me, the product itself is not thick or liquid-y it's in between, it has a pretty strong lavender smell but that fades away in no time, it applies smoothly and blends in well, I feel this shade is slightly darker for me tho but some days it fits just fine(I got some chameleon skin haha!).
As for the long wear claim, it does stay on for hours but since the finish is slightly dewy setting powder is compulsory, this foundation claims to give medium to full coverage but nah it a light to medium coverage foundation and to achieve a medium coverage you will have to layer up, even though it has SPF in it, the flash photography is great no white cast.
Now the finish is between matte and dewy but definitely not matte or semi matte, also gives a natural looking finish-which of course I love. I use a buffing brush with a few spray of facial mist to apply.

What I love about this foundation?, applies evenly, it has a pump, the finish is beautiful and it lasts for hours, it didn't break me out.
What I don't like? the lavender smell can be annoying, not full coverage.
You may like this if you: want a base that feels like skin, like medium coverage.
You may not like if you: have super oily skin, want to cover blemishes, want full coverage and if you are allergic to smell.
Have you tried the Bobbi Brown Long Wear Even Finish Foundation? What is/are your holy grail or favorite foundations? I will love to check them out as well. Have a fabulous day!

DeleteI tried out one in a Bobbi brown store during my summer holiday in Istanbul, it looked really nice but since it's not readily available to me here, i didn't bother with the details. This one looks great on you, i like the finish.

DeleteOh this foundation has such a good finish on you! I totally have been wanting to try a bobbi brown foundation but I'm still not sure which foundation to try! I want something with a more natural/matte finish otherwise I'm okay with light-med coverage! Will be heading to their counters soon! Great review!

I need to try this. In was at the counter, but the mua was occupied with another customer, in turn pranced over tp Mac and got Matchmaster. Which is everything, my HG foundation. Well estee lauder doublewear sandalwood is definitely HG as well. As well as Stila all day. Perfection.
