Bobbi Brown’s Got a Brand-New Book

Oct 14, 2010 @ 4:19 pm

Bobbi Brown‘s latest book, Beauty Rules, is targeted for teens—but that doesn’t mean the rest of us can’t pick up a few great tips. Case and point: Bronzer make you look like an Oompa Loompa? “Choose bronzers that are brown, not orange,” Brown writes. “And if you have dark skin, look for something with a hint of red in it.” Eyes look dark and drab? “Make sure your concealer is one shade lighter than the color of your foundation,” she says. Pick up a copy of the book—or check out our October issue (p. 246!) for more great tricks from Bobbi.
