This is a long-wear, lightweight foundation from Bobbi Brown designed to give a skin-like finish rather than a heavy “masked” look. On the Indian site it’s described as “24-hour hydrating foundation … for a natural matte finish that looks like skin, not makeup.”
Key formulation points:
Smart Skin-Balancing Technology: controls oil + provides hydration.
Oil-absorbing silicas to manage shine without leaving skin dry.
Tri-Moisture Complex (hyaluronic acid + glycerin + honey extract) to boost moisture especially in dry areas.
Non-caking, crease-resistant, fade-resistant wear.
Contains SPF 15 protection (via Octinoxate & Titanium Dioxide in the Indian version) for some sun protection.
In short: for someone who wants a foundation that wears well in Indian conditions (shine control + hydration), while still looking natural and breathable.
Here are the major benefits you’ll get with this foundation:
Balanced oil & moisture: Because of the Smart Skin-Balancing tech + moisture complex, it helps skin feel comfortable (not stripped) and helps control excess oil.
Natural matte finish: Gives a matte-leaning finish but aims to look like skin rather than overly flat or powdery.
Medium, buildable coverage: This foundation gives a natural/medium coverage that you can build if needed — perfect for everyday wear.
Long-wearing: The formula is designed to last throughout the day without major fading, creasing or caking.
Skin-friendly ingredients: It uses hyaluronic acid, glycerin, honey extract (good for Indian climates where humidity + dryness both happen). Also oil-absorbing silicas to help with shine.
SPF included: While SPF 15 is not high sun protection, it’s a plus in daily use under makeup.
Shade range: On the international version 53 shades are mentioned.
Here’s how you use it to get the best result:
Start with skin prep
Cleanse your face, apply serum/moisturizer as usual.
If you tend to get shiny in the T-zone, you might apply a light mattifying primer only in that zone.
If you have dry patches, ensure your moisturizer is absorbed so the foundation goes over evenly.
Apply the foundation
Pump a small amount of foundation onto the back of your hand.
From the Indian site: “Pump onto the back of your hand and buff onto face with a foundation brush—starting at the centre or wherever you need it most. Use soft, circular motions for medium coverage or pressing motions for fuller coverage. For lighter coverage … blend with your fingers.”
Start applying from the centre of your face (around the nose/cheeks) and blend outwards for a natural look.
Choose your method for finish
If you want more coverage: use a dense foundation brush and pressing motions.
For lighter everyday finish: use fingers or a damp sponge and apply lightly, focus on areas where you need coverage.
If you tend to get oily: press a translucent powder lightly in the T-zone after the foundation has set.
Set the foundation
After application, wait a minute or two, then if you have oily skin, apply a very light dust of setting powder in key areas (chin, nose, forehead) to keep the finish in place.
If you prefer a more natural look, skip heavy powder and let the finish stay slightly “skin-like”.
Additional tips
In Indian climate (especially warm/humid), using a primer that controls humidity or an oil-control primer can help longevity.
For evening use or photograph-ready, you may apply a concealer only where needed (under eyes, around nose) so you keep the foundation light and breathable elsewhere.
Re-touch lightly if needed over time (a blot sheet or powder dab for T-zone is sufficient).
