Beauty Beat: Bobbi Brown 'Black Velvet' Collection

When you think of Bobbi Brown, you tend to imagine gorgeous neutrals and nudes--lipsticks, blushes and shadows that create the perfect "no makeup" makeup look. This fall, though, Ms. Brown switches things up with her surprisingly dark and sultry new Black Velvet Collection. The line blends plum, maple, and cherry tones with black for a vampy-gothy look--but all the shades are sheer, so they're super-wearable. Our favorites? Lip Color in Black Maple, a deep bronze-brown lipstick; and Metallic Eye Shadow in Black Berry, a shimmery eggplant hue. Bobbi Brown with an edge...we likey! Bobbi Brown Black Velvet Collection, available at bobbibrowncosmetics.com
