Bobbi Brown Crushed Oil-Infused Gloss
Don’t know about you, but even though working remotely we maintain standards. Get dressed. Have breakfast. Set a time to be at our desks. Wear make-up. Obviously not OTT make-up, but enough to make us look and feel groomed and cared-for. (Zoom conference calls aside, that is a very, very important and comforting feeling right now. Routines give us a frame for our days, something we can rely on.)
And Bobbi Brown Crushed Oil Infused Gloss/£19.00 is exactly the kind of double-duty make-up product that we want when we’re locked down. A product that feels like a lip oil, plumping and nourishing lips – but goes on with a slick of sheer, comfy colour. It feels absolutely blissful on the lips – not at all sticky, but ultra-hydrating.
There are 12 sheer but pigmented shades (see below for how they look on the different skintones) – we’re very keen on the fab Rock & Red, ‘a true blue-red’, and also Love Letter, which they accurately describe as ‘a sheer bright rose’. But what’s completely genius is that if you go onto the bobbibrown.co.uk website, you can virtually ‘try on’ the colours, for a really pretty good preview of how they’d look on your lips, so you’ve your best chance of finding the right shade.
The ‘Try It On Now’ feature is invaluable at a time when we can’t go into a store to try make-up on. Though we do have to warn you, this tool is slightly addictive!
