The Makeup Look: #BobbiBrown Tortoise Shell Inspired (With Tutorial Video)



Bobbi Brown says that your beauty shouldn't be hindered by wearing your glasses. She herself wears glasses and with that she created a fall collection that consisted of a lot of warm browns, taupes and bronze that compliments your frames. I am especially in love with the lipstick. Here she emphasize on how to modernize a classic look. Make yours eyes the windows to your soul, enhance your peepers with or without glasses.

And since I wanted the collection but don't currently have the moolah to get it, I did a look inspired from Bobbi Brown's Tortoise Collection using some of the products I already have. Some are from Bobbi Brown like the Skin Foundation, Guava Lipstick and Everything Mascara. While I used Urban Decay Naked Palette to recreate a sort of smokey gold look. Love the results and the bronzey effect of this look. Definitely something I'd be re-doing for many days (and enhancing for those night outs).

Hope I did Bobbi proud!

    saw on your previous entries that you took Roacutane. Me two. Way back 2005. out of the blue I was acne attacked on 2003. horrible. Then my derma put me on Roacutane for 6 months, once a day tablet. It worked naman. some occasional zits but nothing major. Are you still taking now? btw i love your make up. am a sucker for make up/beauty blogs just like yours. Kasi my eyes gets red pag nag me-make up ako. I have lots, but i never use them. also laughed at your post Obagi treatment. I can't believe you walked around with a yellow face. btw my bestfriend nag pa obagi blue peel. Blue ang mukha nya when she came from the clinic. Takip mukha. It was long time ago. 2004 yata. is it same as yours?
