“This season you’re going to see a lot of color in her makeup,” says Karen Lynn Accattato, Key makeup artist for EMPIRE. “From colored eyeliners to colored lips to very strong makeup, Cookie’s look is fearless, uninhibited, bold, sexy and courageous. For a similar pigmented lipcolor that’s laced with collagen-boosting peptides, try Bobbi Brown’s new Luxe Lip Collection in raspberry pink.

Old School Meets New School Beauty

Proof that Cookie’s beauty looks are a perfect mix of classic and current beauty trends. We love this 60s mod beauty look with hints of the 90s—turned modern classic— brown lip trend!
