Set to launch in March are two exciting additions to the already extensive Bobbi Brown range. The first is the Bobbi Brights Collection, which features three new products.

Sure to lift your spirits in the wake of summer’s exit is the new Collector’s Edition Palette featuring thirty five eye shadow shades ranging from the vivid (such as Blue Denim) to the more subdued (such as Day Glow), the four new shades soon available in the ever-popular Creamy Lip Colour (try Retro Pink), and the never-before-seen Lip Gloss packaged in a versatile compact and available in six must-have shades (try True Beige).

To complement these releases is Bobbi Brown’s latest How-to make-up guide: The Bobbi Brown Makeup Manual.

Unlike her previous books, this tome, while still providing you with useful information on how to apply new looks, and make the most of your existing ones, reveals trade secrets as well: advising aspiring make-up artists on how to break into the industry, put together a portfolio, and manage a business.

“ I wanted this book to serve as a complete reference guide to everyone who wants to know about beauty and makeup. It’s filled with complete step-by-step lessons, industry tips and beautiful pictures.” Says Bobbi.

With her latest collection, full of perky colours and soft textures, and a new book that simultaneously inspires and informs, I know which counter I’ll be paying a visit to this autumn.
