The Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Face Base is engineered to perform as a dual-action product: a moisturizer and a primer. Upon application, its creamy, yet non-greasy texture spreads easily, delivering immediate hydration. It works by creating a finely-tuned surface on the skin, filling in minor texture imperfections and providing a 'grip' for foundation.
Application: After cleansing and toning, take a small, pea-sized amount and gently massage it onto your face, avoiding the eye area. Allow it a minute or two to fully absorb before proceeding with your makeup routine.
Real-World Scenarios:
Daily Makeup Routine: Ideal for daily use, ensuring your foundation applies smoothly and stays fresh for hours.
Special Events: Provides a robust base for longer-lasting makeup during events where durability is key.
Dry Skin Prep: Excellent for hydrating dry patches, preventing foundation from clinging or looking patchy.
Quick Hydration: Can be used on its own on 'no-makeup' days for a quick boost of moisture and a healthy-looking complexion.
Using the Vitamin Enriched Face Base is straightforward:
Cleanse & Tone: Begin with a clean, toned face.
Apply: Scoop a small amount (about the size of a pea) with clean fingertips.
Massage: Gently massage the product evenly across your entire face, working outwards from the center.
Absorb: Allow 1-2 minutes for the product to fully absorb into your skin before applying foundation or concealer.
Skin Types: Suitable for all skin types, including dry, normal, combination, and oily skin, thanks to its balanced hydrating properties and lightweight feel.
Makeup: Compatible with most liquid, cream, and powder foundations. It helps prevent makeup from oxidizing or settling into fine lines.
Other Skincare: Can be layered over serums, but it's generally applied after toner and before makeup. If using multiple skincare steps, ensure each product is fully absorbed before applying the next.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain product integrity.
Hygiene: Always use clean hands or a clean spatula to scoop the product to prevent contamination.
Shelf Life: Refer to the PAO (Period After Opening) symbol on the packaging, typically indicated by a number followed by 'M' (e.g., 12M for 12 months) once opened.
