Looks – Bobbi Brown Metallic Eye Shadows At Work
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 🙂
Thanks, Sanne! The shimmer is subtle, did you find it over the top? Hm. I always apply shimmer to my cheeks.
Oooh, I’ve got to get that eye & lip palette and the shimmer brick! 🙂
They’re lovely, Anitacska 🙂
I look so eagerly everyday for you to post a look – and they’ve been few and far between lately. So I’m soooo glad to hear they’re coming back. These are my favorite posts – keep them coming! 🙂
I have to admit, I just prefer little to no makeup these days 🙁
same for me…i dont know what’s happening…as for the look, u know i always love ur looks hon, this one seemed shimmery as heck to me but i love the neutrals and the bold berry pink lips! oooh i finally got my beiges de chanel quad 🙂 love it..u were right, the colours blend seamlessly and effortlessly! 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!
Thanks, Charlene 🙂 It definitely is shimmery! I am glad you’re finding the Beiges de Chanel quad to blend so easily.
When I first just saw the eye I didn’t care for it but it looks amazing with those lips!
Thanks 🙂
I love it! the lips make up is amazing and the eyeshadow omg. Can I have the rest after your done please? is this in stores yet and how much is it?
Thank you so much 😉 It is in stores, you can check Nordstrom or Bobbi Brown’s website for prices, since they vary.
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.
Aw, thanks, Janelle!! 🙂
mmm, not really feeling the eyes on its own, looks like only one colour has been applied 🙁
but its great paired with those hot lips! 🙂
It’s a subtle eye, I suppose 🙂
Wow, amazing! i like the nude-ish eyes with the hot lips!
Thanks, Nicky!
this is actually one of my favorite looks on you! so crisp and sophisticated but with a pretty pop of glitter and color! you look so nice!
Thank you so much, Maxine 😀
OMG i love these colors lol
BB is great most of the time haha
unfortunately my pocket is not doing so good. so ill have to ask for an early christmas gift lol.
You look great Christine im not in to popping lips(reds and stuff) but i have to admit it looks great on you.
Thanks, Elisa! 🙂
classic and pretty
Thank you, Danielle!!
this is one of my fave looks from you hands down! i gonna try it!
Oh, wow! Thanks so much, T.C.!
This is a great natural everyday look. Perfect for work!!
Thank you, Jai! 🙂
Suites you perfect, Christine.
Can you tell me MAC dupes for the colors you used? Regardless if the finish is correct. It looks so natural and beautiful.
Thanks, Nicole! Hmm, probably Honesty, Mythology, Naked Lunch. Then a little Texture in the crease to darken if necessary! 🙂
Thanks for your recommendations, Christine. I will check out the colors next time I visit my counter.
Sure thing, Nicole! 🙂
I love the eye makeup Christine!
Thanks, Michelle 😉
hoa!!!! love love the lips!
Thank you, Pia! 🙂
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!
Thanks so much, Jen! LOL, why did you swear of BB?
Oh because their eye cream, famous concealer etc didn’t work for me. And they’re pretty expensive! And so far I didn’t like most of the products I tried from them. That was about a year ago, maybe its time to go nose around the BB counter…
Gotcha! I know how that goes. Urban Decay’s Primer Potion doesn’t work too well for me about 40% of the time, so I was like, WHATEV~! to the brand for the longest time.
I agree – UDPP is overrated. I much prefer something denser and coloured for better pop! 😉
I do prefer colored bases for sure ;D
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!
It is similar! I do like it, but I don’t have Gold to do a direct comparison. I think Musings of a Muse blog might have done one, actually!
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?
Lisa From Dallas
Thanks, Lisa! I adore Wild ‘Bout You, too. It’s just this great shade that is bold, and yet it isn’t too scary for me. Love Alert would be HOT!
I think you look great. It is an amazingly sophisticated look when paired with the lips. Bravo!
Thank you, Angelica!
I love the overall look, but those lips really add something special!!
Thanks, Ummilkhair!
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!
Haha! You’re too much, Mag 😉
Thank you!
One of your best looks. It really suits you. And you hair looks great!
Thanks, Rebecca!
I cannot TELL you how beautiful you look here. Another #1 for me. Like absolute #1!!
Aww, thanks, Kella! 🙂
