The makeup artist best known for creating a simple face is rolling out a few new natural tones for spring. Bobbi Brown has just launched the Nude Collection, which features a lip and eye palette ($60) as well as four glitter lip glosses ($19 each).
I know what you might be thinking: "Bobbi Brown and glitter? Huh?" Don't worry — she hasn't lost her subtle touch. I played around with these this weekend at Bloomingdale's, and they're as refined as you would expect. They're mostly sheer, with a hint of shimmer and color. No disco-ball wackiness here.
The lip and eye palette has beautiful, flattering shades that will work with a variety of skin tones. What's cool about the palette is that the compact has two tiers, so you slide the eye shadow drawer out. All of the shadows are limited-edition shades, as is one of the lip colors, so if these colors strike your fancy, you'd better shop while they're available. (These items aren't available online yet, but as I said, they're trickling into stores.) Update: The collection just launched online.

Oooh, pretty.
1It's gorgeous.
2While I think these products may work and look great! The model isn't that dark...
3These colors are gorgeous! I can't wait to try them!
4I saw them today at a Nordstroms. Very pretty- nothing out of the ordinary, though.
5I tried these at Nordstrom. I was ok but I agree with sofi, nothing to drool over.
6Oh yes... I want that palette SO badly! Oh Bobbi, how I love thee: let me count the ways...
7Wouldn't work for my skin tone...
8I love Bobbi Brown, but I prefer pink and peach shades over nude.
9I like. I love shades like this when I dont want too much color.
10reminds me of Mac's N collection also featuring nude shades.
i like the look of the
palette.
11That model is flawless.
12looks good, it's a shame we don't have a bb counter where i live to try it out
13where i go, the bobbi brown counter is right accros from mac and the mac representatives be like : "what makes us different from *whispering* bobbi brown, is that we do blah blah blah" its so funny.
14Bobbi Brown does it better season after season after season. What she does is make us look better while still looking very much like ourselves. Friends say, "You look fabulous!" Not, "Are you wearing a new blush?" Simply, "You look great!"
15What Bobbi does this spring is offer a Nude Collection with, as she says, "Natural colors I see in people's faces." How true! Your look is enhanced, vibrant, alive, yet there is positively nothing made up about your appearance.
One of my absolute must-haves is Bobbi's Limited Edition Nude Lip and Eye Palette in her slim double drawer mirrored signature case. The shades are subtle yet gorgeous with perfectly paired eye and lip colors. The case holds Buff Shimmer Walsh Eye Shadow, Nude Shimmer Wash Eye Shadow, Bare Eye Shadow, and Naked Eye Shadow. What works well for me is to cover the entire lid with Bone Eye Shadow.
The lip colors are both luscious and lasting. From among Bare, Beige, Brownie Pink, and Cocoa I love the effect of Bare for my lips and Buff Shimmer Wash Shadow or Brownie Pink paired with the Nude Shimmer Wash Shadow.
The possibilities are endless and you can't go wrong as all the colors are compatible.
Of course, Bobbi misses nothing so she includes an Eye Shadow Brush and a capped Lip Brush in the compact. Mother Nature is coloring everything for summer and Bobbi's taking care of me!
