So much of how your makeup looks depends on how you do your base. Do it well, and it could be the reason your skin looks fresh and dewy all day long. But if you don’t have the techniques down pat, it could result in creases, fall out and uneven application.

Step 1: Prep your skin
Start by generously applying the Bobbi Brown Primer Plus Protection SPF 50 to hydrate and prime your skin. This lightweight product works like magic on oily skin. It has properties that help with oil production and pore blurring while still maintaining the skins moisture levels. Further, it helps keep the skin refreshed and smooth for even makeup application.
Step 2: Hydrate with moisturiser
Next, layer on the Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Face Base. The rich formula, made with shea butter instantly hydrates and softens the skin, having a cushioning effect which makes product application (foundation + concealer) a breeze. The oil free formula is infused with antioxidants and vitamins B, C and E, ensuring nourishment for your skin.
Step 2: Perfect your eye area
Give your eyes the attention they deserve by applying the Vitamin Enriched Eye Base. This product not only provides a hydrating base for your eyeshadow but also helps in preventing creasing. The nutrient rich formula works to plump the skin and reduce the look of fine lines, ensuring your eye area stays moisturised even under all the product.
Step 3: Even out the skin tone
For oily skin, a long-wear foundation that stays in place is a game-changer. Bobbi Brown's Skin Long-Wear Weightless Foundation is a dermatologically tested formula that has skin loving ingredients like glycerine which keeps the skin looking and feeling fresh. The 16-hour wear product offers full coverage, is breathable with a matte finish that does not clog the pores. An added advantage? It has oil controlling actives and gives a second-skin finish.
Step 4: Conceal any imperfections
Target blemishes, dark circles, or any imperfections with the Skin Full Cover Concealer. Its full-coverage formula is made with hyaluronic acid that binds moisture to the skin, seamlessly blending in and providing a natural finish. Use a small, precise brush for application to avoid using excess product.
Step 5: Set and control shine
To set your base and make sure it doesn’t budge, use an oil absorbing press powder. Lightly dab it over areas that get oily quickly, like the T-zone. The Bobbi Brown Sheer Finish Pressed Powder absorbs any excess oil to promote an even-toned complexion and blur out any remaining imperfections. It also helps your skin stay matte and fresh.
