Focus: Shimmer Brick

Get a glimpse at how your favorite Bobbi Brown products came to be—as told by Bobbi herself.

Shimmer Brick

Q) Shimmer Brick seems like a very fashion-forward product. How did you come up with it?
A) I was backstage at New York Fashion Week and at the very last minute, just before the lights went up, the designer asked me to give all his models a lit-from-within look. Since I didn’t have a specific product on-hand to do that, I improvised and dusted a few shades of shimmery eye shadow on everyone’s cheeks. I’m not sure who was glowing more as they walked the runway – me or the models.

Q) How do you recommend wearing it?
A) You can wear Shimmer Brick as a cheek highlighter. After applying your blush, swirl all the shades in the compact together and dust the color high on the apples of your cheeks where light naturally hits. Or, sweep just one of the shades from the compact across your lower lids for a sexy metallic sheen.

    I’ve noticed that shimmer brick does not work well on video and television; the person looks artificially shiny and it is distracting. Otherwise, a little of this can look very pretty.
