LOTD: A shot of blue

Hey guys!

I wore this look this weekend.  Simple bronze, with a winged out, smudged blue liner. Also added a midtone coral blush from Bobbi Brown.

So, I have a confession to make, in general I don’t like Bobbi Brown at all, but her Cabana Corals collection is the first one EVER that I have wanted to try, especially that Nectar Shimmer Brick!!!!!! I used her Pot Rouge and its great for people with dry skin, or who do not wear foundation. Also oranges and blues work really well together, so I paired a darker blue with a paler coral cheek colour.

I also cut just above the crease (one of the things I learned at TMS), which opens up the eye even more.

Here’s what I used:

  • TFSI
  • M.A.C. Pigment in Copperized (a greenish bronzey colour), all over the eyelid and crease
  • M.A.C Pigment in Museum Bronze (dark bronze), outer part of eye just above the crease, on the brow bone
  • M.A.C. Greasepaint stick in Below Ground (bronze), to define the shape of eye just above the crease
  • M.A.C. eye liner in Coffee (chocolate brown) to darken the GPS
  • M.A.C. eyeshadow in Cork, to blend out the brow bone and the lower inner 1/3 of lid
  • M.A.C. Pigment in Bell Bottom Blue (sea blue), to the outer 2/3 of lower lid
  • M.A.C. Kohl Power eyeliner in Feline
  • Lancome Hypnose Drama in Excessive Black
  • Bobbi Brown Pot Rouge in Calypso Coral
  • EOS lip balm

Enjoy!!!

Bringing the beach home – Bobbi Brown Spring 2010

So, I have not been a fan of Bobbi Brown.  I just thought that their makeup was too…plain, I was used to the bold offerings of M.A.C.  I even went to get a makeover done at the Bobbi  Brown counter at Saks and left feeling, well you know…plain!!!  For me the colour offerings were too limited and it was too much work to look like I was wearing nothing at all.

But over the years I think that they have refined their look a little and I even bought Bobbi’s latest book, which is really good especially because it gives an insight into becoming a makeup artist.  So it went beyond basic beauty.

For Spring 2010, Bobbi brings Cabana Corals, a very beachy, summery collection.

Cabana Corals, Spring 2010

And I’m allllll about summer!  I am not a coral girl but I think that this is the first collection that I am interested in.  It looks bright for BB and the shimmer bricks are #1 on my list.  I’ve heard a lot about the shimmer bricks and I think I want to try.  Has anyone tried this collection????
