When you need a makeup to last, I think many of us look for long-wearing products. I have to say that my feelings are mixed with a lot of the longwear products on the cosmetics market.

Bobbi Brown Black Velvet Fall 2010 Collection.

/

Nothing says fall more than deep, dark, plum and dark chocolate colors. Think the darkest plums, cherries and all of the darker shades of the season. Imagine the most gorgeous grape smoky eye with silver shimmer. Well, you might just have the latest collection from Bobbi Brown on your mind, as this is her Black Velvet Collection, and it screams all of that and then some.

"Yes, sooty lids and goth lips look great on the runway -- but how do you make them work for real life? By infusing plum, cherry and maple tones with black nd giving them a translucent texture, I created shades that are strong, powerful and a little shocking -- but also wearable and sophisticated."  - Bobbi Brown.

I have always loved a dark smoky eye, and I long to create one like the model wears above. With Bobbi's metallic eyeshadows, which I think are the best in the business, this is not just a dream - it is a reality - and possible, with the shades in the line up. Her brand new sparkle eye shadow is dreamy too. You will not believe how creamy and smooth it feels as it glides on. Don't look for sparkles flying all over your face, this sparkle stays and place and wears until you wash it off.
