An Q & A with Makeup Artist Bobbi Brown.

Glam.com scored a great interview with the most wonderful Bobbi Brown. She is one of my favorite makeup artists, as she designs makeup for real women. And her skin care items are fabulous! Her face balm is the best for overly dry skin.

In the spirit of this great interview, I thought I would share a few of my favorite Bobbi Brown items.

 

I use two shades of her eye-shadow almost daily. I use Bone as a base color and Smoke as my eyeliner, with one of her slanted eyeliner brushes that came in one of her shadow palettes. I use her Shimmer Tube Tints a lot too. I just l-o-v-e the minty flavor, and like the Glow Sugar Shimmer Tint over many of my lipsticks. and her Shimmer Bricks are awesome, if you have never tried them, don't hesitate. My favorite is Brownie, and it one of my favorite bronzing palettes, ever. In the summer, I swear by her Extra Tinted Moisturizing Balm, with SPF 25. It is just enough coverage, all the moisture I need, and it last all day. Not to mention that medium tint blends perfectly with my (self) tanned face.

Be sure to take a few minutes to check out the interview with Bobbi over at Glam.

Eye Makeup Mistakes.

Mistakes.

Oh yes, we make them. And makeup mistakes. We make them too. Not the ones where we can simply wipe the mistake away. I am talking overall makeup mistakes.

Bobbi Brown has drilled down the most 6 common eye makeup mistakes. for us, so hopefully, we won't keep making them over and over again.

Kaleidoscope eyes: Bright, shocking mismatched colors don't belong on the eyelid -- unless you're dressing as a clown for Halloween! Choose muted colors in the same family and blend them well.

Blush as shadow: Sweeping your blush color across your lids sounds like a useful time-saver (lots of makeup artists make this suggestion). I find that the rosy coloration of most blushes is wrong for the eye area and can cause eyes to appear red or pink. Instead, do the same one-color technique with shadow shades like toast or pale pink.

Unfinished liner: Lining only the outside half of the eye has a minimizing effect. You can choose to do only the top lid, but be sure to apply color all the way from the inside corner of the eye, continuing along the entire lash line to the outermost corner.

Shadow matching: It's almost never a good idea to match your eye shadow color to your eye color -- especially if you have blue or green eyes. Blue eyes look amazing with navy liner but disappear with blue shadow. In general, neutral colors that contrast with eye color work better.

Mascara clumps: It was the look in the 1960s, but it doesn't work today. The best way to achieve thick lashes is to do several thin coats of mascara. If you experience clumping, wipe the excess mascara from your brush with a tissue.
