If you have normal to dry skin, the Bobbi Brown Intensive Skin Serum Foundation with SPF 40 ($58.50 10% off, free shipping and gift with purchase) is a must-have. It is a hybrid- liquid foundation infused with powerful serum-skincare ingredients that goes beyond the surface of your skin to create healthier looking skin. It illuminates the skin and gives it a slight dewiness.
It comes in thirteen shades to choose from, so there is a shade for everyone.
The Shades are:
Fair Shades:
Alabaster
Cool Ivory
Light Shades:
Sand
beige
Warm Beige
Medium Shades:
Natural
Natural Tan
Warm Natural
Dark Shades:
Honey
Golden
Warm Almond
I purchased shade 4.5 – warm natural
It is packaged in a cool-looking, black glass elixir-like bottle with a dropper,
The elixir looks like medicine, which is how Bobbi Brown views the contents, alluding to the idea that this is “Medicine for your face”. I love the presentation of the packaging, however, I think the foundation-serum is a bit difficult to get out of the dropper,
because, the formula is not watery, as you would think it would be, it is much thicker. Therefore, it doesn’t slip right out of the dropper, it gets on the outside of the dropper, and when you put the dropper back onto the bottle, it gets on the neck opening of the bottle. No big deal, because, once you put it on your face, it glides on like a serum, and the best part is, it is not oily. Since my skin is a bit dry, it is a miracle foundation, it is buildable, and easy to blend, without looking streaky. It feels light and silky. The refreshing, healthy glow creates skin that looks and feels like I am I am a silk skin godess! 
The shade on my arm is Warm Natural, 4.5.

I had purchased the Intensive Foundation prior to going to South Carolina, for a wedding, where I was on the beach for a few days, and became tan, so the shade isn’t a great match to my then tan arm! But, it is perfect on my face.
The ultra-fine pigments in the formula cover your imperfections and do not settle into fine lines and wrinkles. The SPF 40 protects from sun damage. Bobbi uses the most important UVA-UVB sun protection ingredients, titanium oxide, and zinc oxide. The highly powerful anti-aging ingredients in the formula provide energy to the skin cells, and help support skin’s cellular energy, ( key anti-aging benefits) for smoother, firmer, more lifted looking skin. 
It is the best of both worlds, foundation and serum. Bobbi’s Holistic Approach to Beauty is evident in her Intensive Skin Serum Foundation. Ingredients include Bamboo Grass that restores radiance to the skin. Lychee provides moisture to the skin. And she incorporates a powerful ancient Chinese mushroom tonic, (Cordyceps Mushroom Extracts), used in traditional Chinese Medicine, used once in ancient China, for only the nobility, who used it because of it’s known use for enhancing the skin. It energizes the skin to aid in the replenishing of skin cells by providing energy to the skin cells so that the cells function at their optimum potential. I’ve been using it for over a month now, and I love the way my skin looks, and feels when I wear it.
If you have normal to dry skin, give it a try. Let me know, in the comments below, what you think of a hybrid foundation/serum that gives you great coverage, smooth, silky skin, and powerful anti-aging ingredients at the same time.
You Are Awesome!
