Bobbi Brown Corrector


Pros:
  • Good coverage 
  • Quite creamy
  • Erases dark circles
  • Brightens
  • Contains skin conditioners
  • Preps before concealer
  • Lasts all day
  • Suitable to use with either a brush or fingertips
Cons:
  • Price
  • Dries a little too quickly
  • Needs to be set with powder
Aimed at:
  • Under eye darkness
Cost:
  • £18.50 for 1.4g

Personal experience:

I like the consistency but if you don't set it with powder the product will set into any fine lines. Also, you must prep the skin by using a hydrating under eye cream, then applying the corrector to neutralise and for an even better finish add a skin tone concealer or one that is a shade lighter to brighten up the area even more and then set with powder. This tip with moisturising the under eye area is especially for people who have dry undereyes. Just be sure to apply the product in areas that are needed and if too much is applied it will look cakey and unnatural. I think this product is perfect for those who have darkness under the eyes and need that extra bit of coverage without that ashy look that usually comes with concealing and I would definitely repurchase. Look out for my review on the BBU face palette which has all the correctors, concealers and stick foundations, coming soon!

Bobbi Brown Foundation Stick


Pros:
  • Ideal for people on the go
  • Easy to apply and blend
  • Long leverage 
  • Quite creamy 
  • Suitable for most skin types
  • Glides on smooth
  • Easy to use with fingertips
  • Good shade range
Cons:
  • Price
  • Doesn't come in a pump
  • Spf may cause flash back
Aimed at:
  • All skin types, except very oily
Cost:
  • £28 for 9g

Personal experience:

I have the shade warm beige 3.5 and it's lovely to use all over the skin or even in specific areas that need coverage as long as you have a correct colour match which can be done at your nearest Bobbi Brown counter. You can even apply a light layer of foundation and use this to go over any areas that need more coverage. I've personally tried this on myself and a client and was very pleased with the result. You may need to use a powder with this, a light dusting on the T-zone but that all depends on your skin type and what you're comfortable with. I would purchase this again and am in fact waiting for the BBU Face Palette which has this foundation in it. I'll be sure to update you all on that soon.

Bobbi Brown Moisture Rich Foundation SPF 15

Pros:
  • Applies really nicely
  • Spf 15 for daytime
  • Pleasant smell
  • Leaves the skin looking fresh and dewy
  • Medium coverage that can be built up
Cons:
  • Would like the shade range to cater for even darker skin types
  • Doesn't come in a pump
  • Spf may cause flash back
Aimed at:
  • Normal to dry skin
Cost:
  • £30 for 30ml

Personal experience:

I have the shade warm beige 3.5 and I love the soft look it gives to the skin but not really a staple product in my kit. It's a very nice every day foundation that can be built up to full coverage for an evening make-up. My tip with this foundation is that if you have combination to oily skin you may need to apply a powder to mattify it such as the Laura Mercier translucent loose setting powder. I think it's worth the price and would repurchase this item and for the next time I'd like to try Bobbi Brown's Luminous Moisturising Treatment Foundation.
