About Bobbi Brown

Bobbi Brown, a professional makeup artist, made her mark with a style that embraces your natural appearance. It's a look that changed the market nearly thirty years ago and has outlasted all of the beauty trends that have come and gone since.

œMakeup should not be a mask. Makeup should not change the way you look. Makeup should enhance who you are. ” Bobbi Brown

 

How to Build a Makeup Kit

œFirst of all, you have to take your makeup kit and you have to spill it out, Bobbi says. œLook at it. Anything that™s broken, anything that smells bad, has to go first. Then you make sure that the colors are still good for you. After you've gotten rid of everything that doesn't belong, here are the beauty products Bobbi always brings:

1. Moisturizer: A good moisturizer or serum hydrates your skin and can be used as part of your skin care routine or as a face primer before applying makeup. "I've been using one with a little shimmer in it lately," Bobbi says. "It simply adds a nice sheen." Choose a moisturizer that is appropriate for your skin type and complements the other products in your makeup routine.

2. Foundation or tinted balm: The best foundations will even out your skin tone and provide a foundation for your makeup without looking unnatural. "I haven't been wearing foundation, so I've been using tinted balm," Bobbi explains. If you don't like full-coverage foundation, try a tinted moisturizer with SPF.

3. Color palette: Rather than bringing multiple eyeshadow palettes, Bobbi creates a custom compact filled with her favorite shades. "I basically [remove] shadows from [existing] compacts," she explains. Bobbi's favorite compact contains three eyeshadows (one light, one medium, and two darks) and a blush. Include the appropriate brushes for your products.

4. Complexion pencils or concealer: Concealers are used to cover under-eye circles and blemishes. "In terms of my skin," Bobbi says, "I'm a real minimalist." Bobbi uses complexion pencils in two shades instead of foundation or liquid concealer. "I do a pencil on my eyes and a spot concealer, and that's about it," she adds. "If I'm on camera, I'll use the one I use for spots and do my entire face."

5. "I absolutely use black mascara," Bobbi says of her eye makeup. Mascara, when combined with an eyelash curler, helps draw attention to your eyes. She adds, "I also have a brown and a black pencil." For a smudged look, use a pencil, while liquid eyeliner will help you achieve the perfect cat-eye. You might also want to include an eyebrow pencil.

6. Lipstick or gloss: Use lipstick or lip gloss to add color or shine to your lips. "I wear a gloss, and my gloss is usually light or lip color," Bobbi says.




How to Build a Nighttime Makeup Kit

œInstead of having a big bag for the night, it™s just good to make it mini, she says. œIn the evening, I™ve [already] done my makeup, and this is just for me touching up. Bobbi travels with a small purse that only holds her phone and the following nighttime beauty essentials:

1. Compact: "I always keep a compact with a mirror on hand," Bobbi says. She likes to travel with a shimmery compact. "I could use it with a brush on my cheeks, I could use it with a brush on my eyes, but it's also [my] mirror," she explains. It makes no difference what product goes in the compact as long as it has a mirror. "If you have oily skin," Bobbi suggests, "perhaps the compact should be your powder."

2. Highlighter: Highlighters attract light, creating a glowy appearance and emphasizing underlying bone structure. Bobbi likes to highlight her cheeks and eyes with the same highlighter.

3. Lipstick or gloss: Bobbi's favorite lip product is "light, glossy, and sparkly." "However, not everyone enjoys light. So go get yourself something red," she says, if that's your thing. Just make sure it's durable.

4. Breath fresheners: "I never leave the house without my peppermints," Bobbi says. To get "all the little things out of your teeth," she also recommends individually packaged mini toothbrushes with toothpaste.

5. Complexion pencil: Bobbi's complexion pencil, which doubles as a lip liner and a concealer for discoloration or dark undereye circles.

6. Fragrance: According to Bobbi, "I always bring a fragrance." She brings perfume samples from the beauty counter rather than a full-size bottle. She continues, "Those little minis they give away, grab them."

7. Eyebrow spoolie: Use a dry spoolie or brow gel to brush your brows straight up to add drama.




Bobbi Brown™s Tips for Building a Travel Makeup Kit

œDecide what you actually need and what you don™t need. Those few minutes are gonna make a big difference. When you travel, when you go anywhere, just take the time and just simplify, Bobbi says. Here is how she assembles a makeup bag that is TSA-friendly.

1. Pack your goods in more compact containers. I prefer to depot my own belongings when I travel, she says. For items like shampoo, conditioner, and mouthwash, she prefers plastic containers. Just be certain there isn't anything breakable, Bobbi advises.

2. Label each item. Bobbi enjoys giving everything a label, particularly her travel bottles. She says, "Label it so you know exactly what it is." Any products that are left over can be poured back into their original containers once you return home from your trip.

3. Bring only what you require. The majority of hotels have cotton rounds, so you really don't need to bring any, she explains. If you go to someone's house to stay, they probably have the necessities.

4. Keep multipurpose products in mind. Think about using face wipes rather than liquid makeup remover. They're fantastic for removing makeup and cleaning your face, according to Bobbi.
