Rachel Roy Backstage Beauty with Bobbi Brown

bobbibrown_forrachelroy.jpgI have known Bobbi Brown for over a year now but this was my first opportunity to watch her at work.  A dedicated pro like no other make up artist I’ve watched backstage, Bobbi approves of each face before allowing them on the runway!  I caught a shot of her taking one model out to the actual stage so she can see how the light will look on the finished face– I’ve never seen anyone do that, either.  It makes perfect sense though, what you see backstage may not be the case on the runway.  For Spring 2010, Bobbi tells me it’s all about the individual woman and not a cookie cutter beauty (yay for self esteem!).  At Rachel Roy, she followed that mantra by enhancing each mode’s natural beauty with soft dewy make up.  Try the Honey Glaze long wear eye palette to achieve the look yourself.  It’s a duo of long wear cream shadows in shimmering pearl beige and dove grey, complimented with two ink gel eyeliners– chocolate for day and black topaz for nights (makes it easy to travel with!).  It’s $55 and comes with a complimentary travel size Perfectly defined mascara (my friend Melinda and I use this for the gym and it doesn’t flake, ever!)  At Bobbibrowncosmetics.com

While Bobbi was working, I goofed around and asked her to model her latest bag purchase (one we’ve discussed for months), a flat Louis Vuitton messenger bag that she purchased online at Saks one night after a long day at work.

She tells me the bag has inspired an entire new line of flat brushes for Bobbi Brown Cosmetics!  Yet another way our bags affect our daily life ;)
