The Bobbi Brown beauty philosophy is based on subtly improving what nature gave you and so it’s no surprise to see the actress sporting a smokey eye and pale pink lip in her first campaign for the brand.
We have to admit we’re not massive fans of the actress who find a bit wishy washy and for want of a better word meh. Really, if she hadn’t married and then divored the Tom Cruise would we still be on anyone’s radar?
But we will admit, that she looks stunning in the campaign and has the God-given beauty that suits a sophisticated brand like Bobbi Brown. And it seems the make-up mogul agrees as she handpicked Katie for the role.
She told the LA Times: “I didn’t choose her because she’s a celebrity, I really didn’t. She’s not 20-years-old, she has a lot on her plate from acting to design. She was interested in how I balance work and being a mother. I think she’s a great role model and that women will relate to her.”
We’re guessing it also helps that Miss Holmes is naturally beautiful.
Appointing the actress is a departure for the brand as they’ve never had a celebrity front a campaign before. But we’re told Katie won’t just be looking pretty in front of the camera and be put to work instead: she’s going to be earning her keep by collaborating on a capsule cosmetics collection for the winter 2013 collection.
Bobbi Brown is known for creating cult beauty products. Their Pink Quartz Shimmer Brick is a beauty bag must-have in our book that quickly became a staple product in our daily make-up regime.
This shimmering, brush-on powder creates a soft, warm pink glow that works well worn with pink blusher. And the bonus is you can also use any of the five bars of luminous colour as eyeshadow or highlighter to emphasise your eyebrow arch. That makes the price of €48 a little bit more justifable.
It’s no secret that we are devoted lippy fans round Her.ie and are rarely seen without a slick of red lip colour.
Our next Bobbi Brown pick is any of their creamy, semi-matte lipsticks, €26, that deliver a rich, high-colour pout – what we’re all about! Plus the sleek black packaging won’t show you up during public touch ups.
