Looks – Bobbi Brown Metallic Eye Shadows At Work

Date: Saturday, November 1st, 2008 Author:

I am going to try my best to start posting looks more often! I can’t guarantee tons of off-the-wall looks, but I’ll try to at least get more up :)

You will need the following…

  • Eyes: Urban Decay Primer Potion (base), Bobbi Brown Glitz Metallic Eye Shadow (pale gold), Bobbi Brown Holiday ’08 Lip & Eye Palette (Gold Dust, Champagne, Golden Bronze), Urban Decay Bourbon 24/7 Liner, Lancome Oscillation mascara (black)
  • Cheeks: Bobbi Brown Copper Diamond Shimmer Brick (soft gold)
  • Lips: MAC Wild ‘Bout You lipstick (deep berry), MAC Lightswitch 3D Glass (opalescent pink)
  • Brushes: 266 (firm, angled brush), 249 (flat, firm brush), 239 (fluffy shadow brush), 129 (dense blush brush)
  • Substitutes: Wild ‘Bout You = Rebel; Lightswitch = Luminary

Directions: Define brows using a coordinating powder shadow applied with the 266 brush. Apply Urban Decay Primer Potion all over the lid as the base with the 249. On the inner third of the lid, apply Glitz eyeshadow using the 239 brush. Apply Champagne eyeshadow to the middle of the lid. Overlay the outer lid with Gold Dust eyeshadow, then darken the outer crease Golden Bronze using the 239. Sweep Champagne underneath the brow bone to highlight. Finish with Urban Decay Bourbon 24/7 Liner on lower lash line, and Lancome mascara on lashes. Sweep apples of cheeks with Copper Diamond shimmer brick using the 129. Apply Wild ‘Bout You lipstick to lips, and then top with Luminary lustreglass for color and shine.

    I really like the style, especially the lipgloss. Personally I wouldn’t have applied shimmer to my cheeks, it’s a bit too much. But the eyes and the lips are perfectly for an everyday look :)

I thought the beige wud be whiter on me, i think i might exchange it for a whiter looking matte…but i’ll try it out first!

    This is absolutely gorgeous! The eyes are subtle, but shimmery enough to be good for day or night! And the lips add the perfect touch.

    Can you tell me MAC dupes for the colors you used? Regardless if the finish is correct. It looks so natural and beautiful.

  17. Jan says:

    Ooh la la! What a great neutral eye, now you’re making me lem for the BB palette when I have sweared off BB! And the lips, I think I need to go to the counter to swatch the lipstick again…the lipglass gives a very Dazzleglass-like effect!

  18. Melissa says:

    Hey hunny, is the shimmerbrick similar to the original Gold shimmerbrick? Now im lemming hardcore and want to stop myself from going to nordies right after work!

  19. Lisa from Dallas says:

    Christine,

    I love the look! Wild About You is one my favorites. I’ve forgotten about it since I bought So Scarlet! Thanks for the reminder. What do you think about lipgloss over Wild About You- Love Alert or Rich and Ripe?

    I think you look great. It is an amazingly sophisticated look when paired with the lips. Bravo!

  21. Ummilkhair says:

    I love the overall look, but those lips really add something special!!

  22. Mag says:

    The eyes may be subtle and look monotone but you look like you belong in a BB ad! Seriously, the skin, the smile, those striking lips paired with those soft eyes – I was stunned by how everything was put together so well. What a very pretty fotd. :)

    PS: I think the shimmer is just nice for that added glow!
