A few years ago I shared my ten #CantLiveWithout Bobbi Brown products. And since then I've had the pleasure of putting many more of their products and in particular their makeup, to the test.
I definitely prefer more of a natural look when it comes to my makeup so that is what my picks mainly comprise of.

And here are the best Bobbi Brown makeup products that I've tried, in the typical order that I would use them;
Bobbi Brown Corrector (£20)
Without a doubt, this is probably the one single makeup product that I could not live without! If I was only allowed one item of makeup on a desert island, this would be it. Essentially, if you've never used a correcting product before, this cancels out dark circles, blemishes, pigmentation, basically anything that you'd like to correct when it comes to your skin.
I sometimes wear this on its own instead of having to layer over it with concealer or foundation. Plus, it blends so nicely. It also lasts forever. I actually just replaced my well loved first little pot of this solely because I'd had it and had been using it for year. Not because it was anywhere near finished. If you try or buy just one Bobbi Brown makeup product, make it their Corrector.
Bobbi Brown Nude Finish Tinted Moisturiser SPF 15 (£32)
Depending on the day, I actually prefer a tinted moisturiser to a full on foundation. I love that Bobbi Brown's version comes in a shade light enough for my incredibly pale skin, something that not all brands do. And it gives me coverage whilst still looking like my skin and not a full face of makeup.
I particularly like wearing this on days that require minimal effort and it's the one base product that comes with me on trips away and holidays in warmer climates. My skin feels and looks fresh, with a nice tint to it, whenever I wear this.
Bobbi Brown Skin Long-Wear Weightless Foundation SPF 15 (£34)
But when I do need more of a fuller coverage, the Long-Wear Weightless Foundation is my go-to pick. It's one of those foundations where it genuinely doesn't feel like you're wearing anything. And yet it evens out my complexion and makes me and my skin look much healthier.
Again, this comes in a fantastic shade range. And there are actually two shades that I can go between, Alabaster and Porcelain, depending on the time of year. It blends nicely and looks incredibly natural too.
Bobbi Brown Pot Rouge For Lips & Cheek (£23.50)
When it comes to multi-use and multi-function, Bobbi Brown's Pot Rouge is one of the best out there. Use it as a pop of colour on your cheeks or add some pigmentation to your lips. Or if you're brave, you can even use it on your eyelids.
Whenever I wear this as a blush, it just makes me look like I'm thriving, which is always a nice feeling. And it doesn't look ridiculous on my incredibly pale skin either, like some other blushers that I've put to the test in the past.
Bobbi Brown Natural Brow Shaper & Hair Touch Up (£20)
I'm always looking for brow products that are actually designed with redheads in mind. So I was keen to put the Auburn Brow Shaper & Hair Touch Up to the test when I spied it on a shopping trip at the start of last year and I'm so glad that I did.
This is a slightly bigger brush applicator than the likes of Glossier's Boy Brow, for example. But that just makes it that much quicker to apply. And I really love the match that this is for my naturally auburn hair.
Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Cream Shadow Stick (£24)
These, like the Corrector, are another holy grail Bobbi Brown makeup purchase for me. If you're strapped for time in the morning or like fuss-free when it comes to your makeup, you simply need one of their Shadow Sticks in your life.
I can do my eyes in seconds with one or a combination of a few of these. And the Golden Pink shade will forever be my favourite. They are just so quick and easy to use and make makeup application an absolute breeze. Their matte shades are particularly impressive when you're looking for a natural eye too.
Bobbi Brown Smokey Eye Mascara (£25)
I had to include Bobbi Brown's Smokey Eye Mascara solely because of the fact that I can get away with just one coat of it. It also never clumps my lashes together and with just one coat, looks lovely and natural.
You can, however, pump up the volume and darkness of this mascara by applying several coats.
Bobbi Brown EXTRA Lip Tint (£27)
Now technically Bobbi Brown class this as skincare but because of the array of beautiful tints that it's available in, I have to class it is makeup. With the two shades that I've tried and fell head over heels in love with so far, being Bare Pink and Bare Raspberry.
Bare Pink gives me juicy, my lips but better. Whereas Bare Raspberry adds a beautiful raspberry hue to them. The Bobbi Brown Lip Tint also seems to last longer on my lips than other balms and keeps my lips looking shiny and hydrated for hours.
Bobbi Brown Crushed Oil-Infused Gloss (£19)
There are so many great lip products to choose from when it comes to Bobbi Brown. But when it comes to a glossy lip I simply adore the Crushed Oil-Infused Glosses.
They give you all the benefits of a gloss without being a sticky mess, like basically every other lip gloss that I have ever tried. There's a lovely array of shades to choose from. And if I'm aiming to look like I've made a bit of effort with my makeup, even when I haven't, a slick of this gloss does the trick.
Bobbi Brown Luxe Shine Intense Lipstick (£29)
Again, there are lots of great Bobbi Brown lipstick formulas to choose from. But my favourite have got to be the Luxe Shine Intense Lipstick.
As someone with lips that can often crack and get insanely dry in the colder months, I tend to stay away from super bold colours or lipsticks that cling to any dry patches or imperfections. Which is why I keep going back to these lipsticks in particular. The shades that I own compliment my skin tone so well. And they just give such a lovely boost to the lips.
Have you tried Bobbi Brown makeup before? If so, what are your favourite products? Do we agree on any? Or if not, which one or ones would you want to try first?
