Going Nude

BEIGE. NUDE. TAUPE. ON THEIR OWN, THESE SHADES SOUND SAFE AND EVEN A LITTLE BORING. BUT A NEW BOBBI BROWN COLLECTION SHOWS THE SEXY, SULTRY SIDE OF NATURAL MAKE-UP

Bobbi brown’s latest collection, Smokey Nudes, is fronted by Kate Upton, the pin-up du jour, who embodies the unique beauty the brand celebrates. Designed to take you from day to night, the collection includes Shimmer Brick, everyone’s favourite highlighter, in a smaller compact. The standout item is the eye shadow palette, which contains eight shades, ranging from natural nude to deep brown, with different textures (matte, metallic and shimmer). And because a smouldering, smokey eye goes best with nude lips, the creamy lip colours perfectly complement the palette.

To get that elusive holiday glow, dust Shimmer Brick over the cheekbones and touch up through the day with Skin Weightless Compact Powder Foundation. It has a creamy consistency, yet still offers a matte finish and is extremely light. Longlasting, it controls oil and shine, contains sun protection and, like all Bobbi Brown products, promises a flawless, natural finish.
