With longer days of summer fast approaching, my makeup needs to last longer and withstand all the elements. Bobbi Brown took her best selling Long-Wear Even Finish Foundation and turned it into a cream,Long-Wear Even Finish Compact Foundation. It is perfect for those of us who need more coverage and prefer a cream version.

“Finally, a long-lasting foundation that looks like skin.” –Bobbi Brown

Featuring the same advanced film former technology as Bobbi’s award winning Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner, Long-Wear Even Finish Compact Foundation creates a finish that lasts 12 hours and beyond. This oil-free formula is oil-free, flexible and breathable. It creates a soft, natural-feeling in a beautiful color.

This cream is unlike cream foundations I have used in the past. While it is creamy, it feels velvety on the skin. Not quite the feel of a powder, but almost. A perfectly balanced ratio of two fine powders creates the natural, healthy finish that I get from this foundation. The first silica powder absorbs excess oils and provides a lightweight feel, while the second silica powder gives skin a natural-looking soft focus effect. When wearing, it looks like I have a pretty flawless complexion; my skin, but better.

Long-Wear Even Finish Compact Foundation comes in a full range of twenty shades. I used the shade Sand a lot this spring, until I started self-tanning and need a darker shade now. I plan to pick up another one once I get to a Bobbi Brown counter to be matched. It applies easily with the sponge that comes enclosed in the compact.
