Bobbi Brown New Extra Repair SPF 25 Foundation Review

Bobbi Brown's latest offering is a foundation that not only infuses thirsty skin with botanical ingredients and emollients that replenish moisture to the skin, it also provides a pretty high SPF protection for a foundation. I am all about sunscreens, so much so that a foundation that seamlessly incorporates sunscreen in its formula is a winner in my book. Of course, it should not only provide sun protection, but should make the skin look flawless and supple, while shielding it from the harsh rays of the sun. I have been given the opportunity to try the Bobbi Brown Extra Repair SPF 25 foundation that claims to do all the above, and here is my review on this new product.

Here are Bobbi Brown's words on how this new foundation can provide needed moisture and infuse beneficial ingredients to dry, thirsty skin:

Pinks and Purple Eye Look and Tutorial Using MAC Quite Cute CUTiE Eyeshadow Quad

Moshi Moshi!, Goody Goody Gum Drop
Boycrazy, Azuki Bean

Here is a look and tutorial using mostly MAC Quite Cute collection items. I was scared in the beginning because I'd thought that the colors wouldn't really pop since these are quite sheer. It turned out okay especially since this was a day look, and I used a colored base underneath the shadows (I used MAC Fresco Rose paint pot).


I also used Play Time lipstick from this collection (above, right-most).


I also used Sakura as blush.


I also used MAC Superslick Liquid Liner in Smokey Heir.

Here is a step-by-step. All products MAC unless otherwise stated.


Apply Urban Decay primer potion in Eden all over lid, browbone and lower lashline. Apply paint pot in Fresco Rose on lower lid using a fluffy shader brush.


Using a stiff shader brush, apply Goody Goody Gum Dropover Fresco Rose and all over lid.


Using the Sonia Kashuk blender brush, apply Azuki Bean on outer V.


Using the same blender brush, apply Boycrazy on the edges of Azuki Bean to blend.
