New from Bobbi Brown: Natural Finish Long Lasting Foundation SPF 15

Bobbi Brown has a new foundation to tempt us! Arriving in stores this month, Natural Finish Long Lasting Foundation with SPF 15 ($45) was designed to prevent foundation meltdown.

Bobbi has solved a very common problem with this new foundation. You have oily or combination skin. You want a foundation that lasts and gives you nice shine-free, even-looking skin, but your foundation never looks natural, and it starts to fade or wear off by lunchtime.

“This oil-free formula gives skin a soft-matte finish that looks healthy
and natural - never heavy. And it’s buildable, so you can customize your level of coverage,” according to the beauty guru herself!

The oil-free, long-wearing foundation balances oily and combination skin, so you’ll have a soft-matte, even-looking complexion without needing to pile on powder or reapply your makeup throughout the day. Sponge-like powders absorb excess oil on the surface of your skin, while emollients lock in moisture to ensure that your skin stays perfectly balanced.

The transfer-resistant formula helps create a barrier against heat and humidity for eight hours of wear. Even in the most humid climates, your makeup will stay in place. This formula contains an oil-free emulsion system that delivers a blend of finely milled pigments, spherical powders, and mica for natural-looking coverage. And it will be available in a range of 20 yellow-based shades - from Alabaster to Expresso, there is a shade for you!

Natural Finish Long Lasting Foundation SPF 15 will arrive at Bobbi Brown counters and the Bobbi Brown Web site this month. I have two friends who suffer with oily skin and makeup meltdown. We are going shopping, ladies!
