BOBBI BROWN TEENAGE BEAUTY
The transcript from our November 28th chat with make up artist Bobbi Brown.

Read the review of Bobbi Brown Teenage Beauty

sososavvy How can you keep up with the latest make up trends while still keeping your own "look"?


BobbiBrown

Only experiment with a trend if it looks great on you. It's definately about trial and error and if you think you look pretty, it's the right look for you. If you put it on and you're not sure, trust your instincts and wash your face.

Why are runway looks so out there, I mean, who can wear those?


BobbiBrown

You're 100% right, the runway looks are definately too strong for everyday. When we do makeup for fashion shows we use our imagination and experiment to create a feeling. It's definately not reality. But you can get an idea of a look that you'll see in fashion. It could be about sparkle. It could be about color or it could be about very natural makeup.
Carrie I like in the book how you talk about braces. I wonder, is there anything that won't work with braces? I am thinking about silvery lipstick.


BobbiBrown

Silvery lipstick can be pretty if it's glossy, very sheer and not grey. Anything looks great with braces but the most important thing is that it has lots of moisture as braces dry out your lips. Dark, matte lipstick is definately the wrong way to go.
123me Why shouldn't you share your eye make up? Is there any type of make up that it is OK to share?


BobbiBrown

Make sure your brushes are clean or you use disposable applicators, like Q-tips, and you could definately share your eye makeup. Don't share mascara because it's easy to spread bacteria. Keep your makeup clean and dry and you could share your makeup with applicators. Remember, no double dipping!!
123me Does what you eat really effect your skin?


BobbiBrown

I am not a doctor but from all my experience I truely believe that the better you eat, the better you look. Water, water, water will help everything. And I find eating foods rich in nutrients like whole grain vegetables will definately help your beauty. Remember, too much junk food will absolutely effect the way you look.
Carrie I have graduation pictures soon, what should I change about my make up for the pictures?


BobbiBrown

Make sure you have pretty blush on. Make sure you're blemish free or totally concealed. Shimmer shadow, a bit of natural eyeliner and mascara will help bring out your eyes. And light to medium lip color with a bit of gloss will do the trick
