Beauty Stat - For the beauty obsessed who demand the facts not fiction.

At the end of each year, we do a round-up of the best of the best beauty products.  In 2010, we saw so many great makeup launches and 2011 was no different. We test drove hundreds of makeup and cosmetic products. And below are what we consider best in show:
FOUNDATION: Bobbi Brown’s Skin Foundation Mineral Makeup SPF 15. A lot of other name brands that we have tried, tended to leave our skin looking dry in patches and dull. This new formula provides translucency and also shine free coverage.

We all know that some concealers leave a bit to be desired. Some are dry, cakey, easily smudged. Bobbi Brown has addressed these issues in her new two step “Corrector and Creamy Concealer” palette. (We first covered Bobbi’s Concealers here).

Bobbi took her old and true concealer and reformulated it into a two-step process. The pink or peach-toned corrector brightens and neutralizes the purple and green tones of under eye circles. The yellow-toned Creamy Concealer to lighten and blend the eye area with the rest of the face. The texture is …

It’s official: this is the season of the palette. We’ve seen red lips, sparkling eyes and now, the beauty of structured palettes that ooze the elegance of a Dita Von Teese performance yet have the structure and clean lines of a work by Frank Lloyd Wright.

Renowned makeup artist, Bobbi Brown, first tackled this demographic ten years ago with Teenage Beauty, a New York Times best-seller. In the 21st century young girls are being challenged as never before …

This is truly one of the best collections I’ve seen that is Makeup for Dummies worthy. The Bobbi Brown Color Strips Collection launches in time for Spring 2010, and each strip has hand-picked shades that complement each other beautifully for eyes, lips and cheeks.

There are three color palettes in the Color Strips variety: Bonfire, Orchid and Aquamarine and they retail for $60 each.

What I love about Bobbi Brown is that she truly wants to make makeup a universal language without the need for a Rosetta Stone. These Color Strips …

Sun-kissed cheeks and bronzed skin sound like a slice of heaven and we are swooning over the shimmery burnt siennas, mochas and coral tones of Bobbi Brown’s latest Spring 2010 Cabana Corals collection.

We can almost hear the roar of the  ocean water, feel the sharp stinging salt spray on our skin and see the smooth shells on the shore.
The inspiration behind the Cabana Corals collection is color – naturellement. Every woman worries that even though she worships color, it will look too bright or chalky on her skin.
The new Pink …
