Color May Not Appear as in the Tube

Bobbi Brown Lip Color ($22.00 for 0.12 oz.) now includes two new shades for fall from the Black Velvet Collection:Black Maple (black red plum) and Black Raspberry (black burgundy).

• Black Maple is a rich burgundy brown. On my lips, it looks nearly opaque with a slight sheen.
• Black Raspberry is a semi-sheer browned red. It’s a different way to wear the red lip–it’s not an in-your-face kind of red, and it’s not incredibly dark either. It has a rather glaze-like finish, where there’s some sheerness up close, but it looks more cohesive and opaque from afar.

There’s a funny thing about these lipsticks/swatches; they don’t look like they line up. Black Maple looks burgundy in the tube, while Black Raspberry looks nearly black–and yet it’s actually much, much lighter. I actually had to swatch them both again as I started to write out the review to make sure I didn’t have it written wrong in my notes!  They both seem to be a little on the cooler side.

Bobbi Brown’s Lipsticks are scent- and taste-free, which is something that can difficult to find high-end lipsticks. With these deeper, darker shades, I find myself getting between four and five hours of wear.   They apply without difficulty, though I do find myself needing to check the application to ensure smooth, even color.  I don’t find them drying, but I think if you have really dry lips, you may not find they’re very moisturizing either.

It has been rumoured and now it is confirmed that a three-year design partnership between Kate Moss and Topshop is to end later this year.

When the supermodel unveils her autumn and winter range in October – it will be her 14th and last collection for the chain.

Ms Moss began working with Topshop through her friendship with the firm’s boss, retail tycoon Sir Philip Green.

Both parties deny any rift, with Sir Philip saying the model had “other commitments”.

“It has been fantastic for us and fantastic for her, but [the designs] take more and more time and she cannot do this full-time any more,” Sir Phillip told The Times.

This fall, as you’ve been flipping through the September issues, you’ve most likely noticed a bevy of bushy-browed models and celebrities reminiscent of Brooke Shields à la “The Blue Lagoon” and Madonna during her “Like A Virgin” days.

Well, your eyes weren’t playing tricks on you.

A new school of in-your-face arches emerged on the Fall 2010 runways of Prada, Thakoon, Balenciaga,Narciso Rodriguez, and Marni. And trendsetters like Victoria Beckham, Sarah Jessica Parker, andScarlett Johansson have all been spotted wearing sharp brows.

“I think that brows are one of the most important features of the face. Whether it was in the ’40s or the ’90s or now, brows always resurface and show us why they’re important,” says CoverGirl celebrity makeup artist Molly Stern. “In a bold brow lies the strength and character of the face.”

While this fall makeup trend may appear to be a bit masculine, the fresh take on this look has a feminine and flattering appeal that’s simple to recreate, according to M.A.C. Cosmetics senior artist Romero Jennings.

“The most important thing to remember when going bolder is to make sure to always choose an eyebrow pencil or powder that is one shade lighter than your own brow’s color for a modern, approachable brow that does not look dated,” says Jennings.

Eager to break out our brow pencils, StyleList tasked makeup artist Emily Kate Warren to mold these runway looks into wearable, bold brows on a real women — namely, Amy Preiser, an associate editor at ShelterPop.

You want to start with well-groomed eyebrows. Using a good pair of tweezers, pluck away any stray hairs. But don’t overdo it, cautions Stern. “If you are unable to stand back and edit yourself, you should have them professionally done.”

Brush brows upwards then lightly draw dashes to fill in gaps that are between your natural hairs using a brow pencil like Clé de Peau Beauté Eyebrow Pencil that is one shade lighter than your natural hairs. Then take an angled brush dipped in a powder the color of your natural brows to darken. Warren recommends not going outside of your natural shape, but deepening just enough so that you can’t see much skin beneath.
