Road Test

Often when I travel I ditch foundation and pack a product which is more flexible, usually a tinted moisturiser or a BB or CC cream. After all, if you’re on holiday, you don’t want to be fussing with too many products and makeup, right? When it comes to achieving a natural, nude look which still evens out your skin tone, this lovely tinted moisturiser from Bobbi Brown does the trick. I’ve been fan of Bobbi ever since I interviewed her about one of her beauty bibles for a women's magazine some years ago, and because of her attitude to beauty and health. As she famously said when she launched the Bobbi Brown brand, now almost 28 years ago: “It all started with a very simple idea, natural looking make up and lipstick that looked like lips". It seems befitting, therefore, that the brand should have a nude look tinted moisturiser in its lineup, and while it doesn’t come cheaply, it’s a product which delivers top notch results. It's ultra-light, creamy, and hydrating, and while it easily covers up any redness or an uneven skin tone, the sheer coverage of this tinted moisturiser allows your freckles to show through. The result is that your skin looks like your skin, something Bobbi Brown aims for, only smoother and more naturally radiant. The formula contains nourishing moisturisers which hydrate skin and deliver a plump, radiant finish, while SPF 15 provides moderate everyday protection from the elements. Bobbi Brown Nude Finish Tinted Moisturizer is ideal for normal to dry skin types, and it comes in a variety of shades which makes matching a breeze; the shade I was sent to road test was Light-to-Medium which is ideal for summer. To use, simply smooth evenly over your face using your fingertips, a makeup sponge, or a foundation brush; the product is easy to remove, by simply washing off. If you like a foundation which is very light and very sheer, simply to brighten your complexion and even out your skin tone, you’ll love this.
