Skin Type: Oily, Acne-Prone
I have to confess that I enjoy being a makeup girlie through and through. Nothing makes me happier than a full face of makeup with a flawless base, some wash of colour on the cheeks and a swipe of shimmer on the eyes. However, lately because of the scorching heat I’ve found myself gravitating towards products that feel like second skin. My foundations have been replaced with skin tints and my powder blushes with cheek tints. Having oily skin, I prefer base products that work towards minimising the oil whilst giving my skin some coverage.
I have to admit that I wasn’t too sure if a skin tint would do this job. However, Bobbi Brown’s Vitamin Enriched Skin Tint surprised me. Even though I’m used to medium coverage base products, the light coverage of this product is definitely something I could get used to. Upon application, it feels as if the skin has no product on, which is something that my oily skin absolutely loves. This skin tint is certainly one that you can reach out to for everyday use, after all any makeup product that comes infused with skincare benefits is a win-win.

Skin Type: Combination
I have two phases when it comes to wearing makeup, either I go all out or I don’t wear any. However, I must confess that I get lazy doing a full face of makeup, and therefore, I look for products that are multi-purpose, offer ease of application and have skincare benefits too. When it comes to base products, I prefer glowing skin, sheer coverage, and a natural finish.
Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Skin Tint works well for my skin type–it’s lightweight, nourishing, and doesn’t flake in extreme heat and humidity. While it may not work as a full-coverage product, it’s a good choice if you want a healthy tint on the skin. Think of it as a my-skin-but-better product infused with skincare benefits which is an add-on. I’d like to use it while travelling as the change in the weather, city, food, and sleep cycle stresses the skin and that’s when you need products that are lightweight and won’t have an adverse effect on the skin.

Skin Type: Dry
I have a very minimal makeup routine–a hydrating foundation, a little bit of blush, two coats of mascara and a tinted lip balm are all I use daily. But when the temperature drops a degree, my skin tends to repel most foundations and starts flaking. No matter how many moisturisers I layer below my base, the prep always falls flat.
However, I can confirm that my skin loves the Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Skin Tint. It has a light coverage that speaks to the minimalist in me and a hydrating formula that pleases my dry-as-a-desert skin. I also have trouble finding foundations for my neutral undertone but the shade Light 3 matches my skin to the T.
This has slowly become my go-to base product and has a permanent spot in my makeup kit.
