Fall 2011: Bobbi Brown Marrakesh Chic…

One of my favorites, Bobbi Brown has a lovely new idea for fall, we are going to Marrakesh!  She has introduced a new shadow dubbed Rich Color Shadow….a shadow that is highly pigmented but extremely wearable. I love how she gets inspiration from places that she visits….just super cool.  Plus, I love a good pigmented shadow!  There are also a few lip colors that are worth checking out as well, I will be grabbing the Pale Plum Creamy Lip Color myself…

Marrakesh Model Shot Fall 2011:  Bobbi Brown Marrakesh Chic...

A few years ago, Bobbi traveled to Morocco for a week-long bike tour, which took her from the Atlas Mountains to the coastal plains. Bobbi’s first stop was a marketplace in Marrakesh, where there was no short- age of color. Jars filled with saturated pigments, mounds of fabric in the most vibrant hues, burlap sacks of anise, cumin and turmeric spices, and antique woven kilim rugs in beautifully weathered colors overwhelmed the senses. Moved by the sights and smells, Bobbi returned home with endless inspiration for what is now the Fall 2011 Collection. Featuring intensely pigmented colors, this collection is designed to be smudged, swiped or blotted to create a stained look that’s fresh and wearable.

“From the dusty tones to the sandy textures, fall is about rich color made wearable.”  - Bobbi Brown

Marakesh Eye Shadows Fall 2011:  Bobbi Brown Marrakesh Chic...

The Rundown:

Rich Color Eyeshadow ($24.00) (Limited Edition)

This creamy powder delivers intense, pigmented color. It blends onto lids like a cream and builds easily to a super rich shadow with smooth, long-wearing finish that doesn’t crease or smudge for up to 12 hours. An innovative soft press technology allows the natural waxes in the formula to melt into the powder, giving the shadow its unique creamy feel. Apply it on bare lids using your fingers, an eye smudge brush or angled eye shadow brush. Don’t worry about being too precise—this shadow looks most modern when it’s swiped on. For added impact, define your eyes with a gel liner.

    Perfect!  Color is definitely making a comeback this fall and I’ve got an upcoming high profile business trip to San Fran that requires several pulled together looks. The current makeup trend is a major factor in making it all work.  As always thank you Lianne!
