As I am now a ‘woman of a certain age’ I tend to be particularly interested in skin products which enhances and improves the skin texture and luminosity especially when it comes down to foundation. Over the last few years we have seen numerous BB and CC creams with added beautifying ingredients but there aren’t many foundations which are actually ‘treating’ the skin as well as offering coverage. Imagine my joy when I read about the latest new Bobbi Brown Intensive Skin Serum Foundation SPF40. Bobbi Brown makeup artist & makeup mogul knows absolutely everything there is to know about creating flawless skin and has cleverly mixed one of her best-selling skincare Intensive Skin Serum with one of her foundation. What are the magic ingredients in this clever fluid ? Formulated with Lychee, Bamboo Grass and Cordyceps Mushroom extracts which are used in traditional Chinese medicine, this high-powered combination helps give skin the energy to makes it look fresher, younger and plumper. It is a light, silky and fluid emulsion which glides over skin’s surface. Been lightweight, it doesn’t settle into your wrinkles like other foundation can as a thick layer of foundation can add years for anybody over the age of 30 ! It is a long wear product and is perfect for normal to dry skin. Furthermore it has a high SPF 40 which is important for all ages. I love the idea of having a foundation which doubles as a serum and cannot wait to try it. It is available exclusively at John Lewis and released nationwide from April 2. £ 39 for 30ml AM xx
