Bobbi Brown recently launched their new Bobbi Brown Skin Long-Wear Weightless Foundation SPF 15- it comes in 30 shades, ideal for normal to oily skin. I matched myself with the shade Warm Honey 5.5 which is a very good match for my tan skin with warm golden undertones. The foundation is packaged in a sturdy matte glass bottle with a pump dispenser. According to the brand, it's a full coverage foundation that has a natural matte finish, 16-hour formula that's waterproof, sweat and humidity resistant. The consistency feels like a gel/moisturizer, it's lightweight, very blendable and it has a buildable coverage. I personally prefer sheer to medium coverage foundations cause I really love the skin-like, breathable, featherweight finish. If you're like me you'll truly enjoy this foundation, it's such a great option for everyday looks.
I have large pores, textured skin, redness around my nose and cheeks. The foundation didn't fully cover all my imperfections, so I had to do some spot concealing. This foundation doesn't emphasize on fine lines and it doesn't oxidize. Although I have very oily t-zone I do have some dry patches on my cheeks. So if you have dry skin I would recommend using a hydrating primer, prior to the foundation application. I like to use the Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Face Base Moisturizer, it keeps my makeup looking flawless all day long. I also like to use Tom Ford foundation brush or Sigma Flat Top Kabuki brush to apply the foundation, it spreads and buffs out the product seamlessly. One of the ingredients listed on the foundation is Shea Butter and that might be an issue for some but it didn't cause any breakout or irritate my skin.

Here are a few other foundations in comparison to the BB skin long-wear foundation. If you're an NC 40-42 in Mac foundation then Warm Honey 5.5 shade would be a good match for you.

I primed my face with Derma e Youth Serum and BB Vitamin Enriched Face Base Moisturizer. For my brows I used Anastasia Brow Pomade in Dark Brown, on my eyes I used two eyeshadows from Viseart Neutral matte eyeshadow palette and Marc Jacobs Velvet Noir Mascara. To cover up my dark circles and spot conceal I used Makeupforever Ultra HD Concealer. On my cheeks, I used Givenchy Healthy Glow Bronzer (review here) to warm up my skin and for the highlighter, I used Becca Opal Shimmering Skin Perfector. I only set the t-zone area with my favorite Lancome Dual Matte Powder. On my lips, I used NYX Natural lipliner and topped it off with Cle De Peau Radiant Liquid Rouge 11.
I tested this foundation various ways and I didn't experience any creasing, caking or fading. I would also like to point out how well this foundation photographs this photo was taken with flash and as you can see there are no weird flashbacks. BB Skin Long-Wear Weightless foundation lasted all day long! I had it on for about 12 hours and I only touched up once, I'm truly impressed with the longevity.

Final Verdict:
I really like the natural velvety matte finish of this foundation but it might not be for everyone. In spite of the brand claiming the foundation to be a full coverage finish, I would have to disagree. However, I highly recommend this foundation to those with combination-oily skin or anyone who loves a sheer to medium coverage finish. I think this will be my go-to summer foundation cause it does a fantastic job of oil control. I would like to also commend the brand for being inclusive and launching 30 shades, so fear not cause there's a shade for everyone!
