So Bobbi Brown has brought out a new collection for fall. Not as stunning as their spring Cabana Corals offering – although I still think that that was their best ever – but quite interesting. Their collection is called Denim & Rose and it includes an all-in-one palette:
I was inspired by beetle’s wings and decided to do a blue iridescent look. It’s a little bright, with the light, shimmery teal and a little smokey. Good for a summer night out, and black mascara completes the look!!!
Saw this look done by Erin over @Makeup Fiend. I love this look and I have not done it in a long time!!! So I worked it out!!! Of course, it’s a great summer look, since it features golds and bronzes. This look is an easy way to use pink, which some people find hard to use sometimes. Also works well with other brights – corals, teals etc. Not too bright, used the 224 brush so that it’s a wash of colour.
The Ingredients

So last week I had the pleasure of attending a Bobbi Brown Master Class at Bergdorf Goodman. I took it as an opportunity to get to know the brand a little better and to potentially learn some new techniques. The class was small (about 25 people) and was lead by Ricky, who is one of Bobbi Brown’s national makeup artists.
Another installment of my series. Today’s focus is on the cheeks.

I must admit that this is an area that I have only recently gotten into. I’m all about the eyes but I have come to realize that the right cheek colour and application could take a look to another level!!!
Again, there are many different formulations for cheek colours and these include:
Powder (the most popular)
Gel
Creams (my new favourite!)
Liquids
Mousses
So there is something there for everyone, you just need to find something that suits you.
There are a few things to take into consideration when selecting your cheek colour and formula:
