Bobbi Brown’s New Neutrals

For her latest trick, Brown has honed what she does best, while adding a serious shot of color. Her newNeons & Nudes collection features shocking hints of Fanta orange, bright violet, and a nearly fluorescent pink, all of which are split between lipsticks, glosses, and highly pigmented single eye shadows. Our favorite bright in the bunch is the Lip Color in Atomic Orange, a hue so loud and rich that it almost negates the need for anything else on the face at all. But the collection’s Ultra Nudes Eye Palette, a compact of six barely-there pigments with names like Chino and Praline, proves to be an essential counterpart to a retina-burning pout.
