She was revolutionary because she did natural makeup when it was popular to have lots of color in the 80s. She also came up with the idea of a lipstick the color of your lips so there you go.
I wouldn't say this is "old school" , I would say it's a "classic" way of makeup application and technique. IMO. I have a bit of a soft spot for Bobbi Brown, tbh.
“We only have a minute left.” This is why I no longer watch these shows. I stopped over 4 years ago. Less frustrating than getting into a topic and then the hosts stop and move on but say if you want to learn more, go online. I will NEVER go online to learn more. Keep the guest and continue after the commercial for god sake or have a longer segment.
Hats off to one of the first OG's in the makeup artist industry. The classic, simple, natural, no frills look. Unlike nowadays with too many contours, baking etc. lol
@@ByteMwen I have a very similar skintone (pretty much exclusively Indian ancestry, but like, the darkest Indian person you'll ever meet) so I'll have to give her stuff a try. I'm always searching for a match for my skintone.
Bobbi Brown has always excelled at makeup for WOC...I saw a picture of her for the first time last year, tell me why I thought she was a black woman all this time 🤦🏽♀️ baha
Shes always been very very inclusive of ALL races. Even in her books from the 90s she features such diverse models and even within white women she’d do albino and redheads and freckles and women with scars or broken noses etc
I have followed her for years and I love the classic approach. II purchased several of her books and love the Bobbi Brown eye shadows; the formulas have changed with the line, but carry the simple approach with any makeup you use.
How bizarre are corporations? She can’t even have products with her own name/brand because someone owns the company with her name, and she stopped working for them in 2016. She is using no name palettes in this clip. Our world is just so weird now.
@@ralphandleosmom9075 i think the original poster meant that there were no brands shown on the product. even the last model, the lipstick was actually a bobbi brown lipstick but they put a label on it that just said "lipstick" lol
A lot of makeup artists will carry around makeup that appears to be in the form of what you call "no name." It really is that they like taking products out of their original packaging and organizing them together in their own palettes. It makes it easier so that if they like one blush from one face palette and another from another one and they use them all the time, they don't have to carry all the palettes around.
For anyone that likes Bobbi's down-to-earth style, her MasterClass is fabulous. And no, I don't work for MasterClass, nor am I getting paid for any endorsements, lol. The MasterClass site is a bit heavy on writers and screenwriters and folks in the film industry, but they're starting to add more "experts" from a variety of fields - I wasn't even a Bobbi Brown fan (I barely knew who she was), but watching her MasterClass really inspires you to want to play with make-up!
Bobbi Brown is the ONLY, and I do mean ONLY, brand of foundation and concealer that TRULY matches my dark tan skin with golden undertones!! I have tried dozens of other brands and I ALWAYS go back to BB!! ❤️💯❤️💯❤️💯❤️💯❤️💯❤️💯
Y'all, yes, she blew on the brush and used her fingers. She's a pro and she knows the name of the game on live TV is "fast." This is probably not how she operates in real life, but when you're on TV, you gotta move. You have not only the hosts moving you along, but you can see the producers and segment directors off-camera freaking out and gesturing at you/mouthing words like "WRAP IT UP." Live TV is a different animal.
Laura 24601 lol, I flinched when she blew on the brush. When I went to makeup school we were always reminded to not blow on our brushes. I just saw my instructor in my mind reprimanding me lol but I agree with you :)
I’ve done live makeup on TV for years- never once did I blow on a brush. Absolutely not needed. Working with a short amount of time is a skill- and there’s no need to cut those corners. It’s in her masterclass- it’s simply a Bobbi technique she believes in.
Grace Warisnaratorn Way too short of a segment. Even Mario’s segment on the Today Show was super rushed. They need to give makeup artist longer time than the 2 minute introduction and three minutes on models, leaving only one minute per person. I think people would definitely watch of the segment had double the time and would appreciate it.
Omg the last model. She’s got beautiful skin! I hate the fact everybody now seems to think they are makeup artists and load themselves with lots of makeup they don’t even need
Bobbi - my fellow New Jerseyian - I love your classic looks (I'm not into trendy, extreme looks like cut crease) and your beautiful lipsticks and shadows. Thank u
That was a very quick video, she needed more time, I feel like it wasn’t fair for her, I’m sorry but that video was very stupid, only because of the time
I live in Australia and have watched about 3 if these videos by highly respected makup artists who are blindly told to "come in and we will talk to you and put you on television. Only to then sprout out questions they know nothing about and proceed to hurry the gust along who never get a chance to have the input they expected shortened by two vacant eyed unknowledgable "I am a super star on American television" who have no idea how to interview these highly regarded ladies. If you watch it again take not of the woman in the green dress who couldn't give a toss about what it was about - she has her own makeup artist - I call her the fakes of the two. There's my rant .
Friends-please never blow on your brushes. It’s extremely unhygienic (especially doing another persons makeup) Tap any additional powder off if needed, but start training yourself to develop the muscle memory needed by picking up small amounts of pigment and building it up. I also completely unsubscribe from the rule of having to line the entire lash line. Lining the upper lash line defines lashes and can help to change the shape of the eye (elongating, lifting it). The way you line is based upon eye shape as well as the look you want to achieve. It kills me when artists make hard fast rules for women- this is art. Teach the art. I’ve been in this industry for over a decade and have seen it change tremendously.
True MUA use their spit all the time or at least that’s what they say. I think she forgot where she was bc that’s a method she’s so used to. I’d never do that and I’m only applying makeup on myself!
It depends, Bobby is basically saying embrace yourself, do your make up but don’t change your entire face, which I agree. It is exhausting to do make up and look completely different. I think Bobby Brown has her followers because those followers aren’t looking to change the shape of the eye for example, just enhance them.
@@yvonnemoore9840 I’d argue that Bobby is providing a very antiquated method of eye makeup application and that instead I’m arguing that application should be completely arbitrary based on the shape of ones eyes, face, and aesthetic. That was kinda my point. Bobbi became successful in the nineties due to her very straight forward, naturalistic approach with efficacious products that didn’t compete with high artistry brands.
Notice Bobbi was blowing the excess off the brush with her mouth. That’s a big no!!! Bacteria!!! You’re suppose to twirl then tap the excess off. Not blow with your mouth and this is Bobbi Brown master class?? 🙄🙄 #sodone
reikun86 I knew that. I used to be a Bobbi Brown exclusive but once that happened some of the products were reformulated and it made me breakout 🙁 so I use some but not all.
Roger Acosta Jefree star is not a makeup artist, he’s a youtuber/beauty guru. Which at this point everyone knows the difference: Beauty gurus = drag queen cake makeup. Makeup artists = beautiful professional makeup. ALSO: why should a woman prefer a racist man - who is always making misogynous comments - over a renowned, successful and professional woman? lol
I saw her blow on the brush too! What the heck? I was taught in beauty school to never blow on the brush, whether you're doing your own or someone else's makeup!
If the New is to have stamped eyebrows, fake lashes and glitter everywhere with tons of shinny highlighter... I'm very old school (and proud) too. I want a easy fast way to enhance my own beauty in 5 minutes than looking like a clown. But I guess is because this is how we do in Europe so for each their own....
Honestly I like that better as it was more simple and just enhanced your beauty instead of changing it. Girls these days take makeup overboard, many can't leave their house without it, and don't get me started on the crazy sesame street eye lashes they be wearing.
Marion S. She left the brand. She’s no longer with the company. I think she left a couple of years ago. So it has her name on it but she isn’t the one making the decisions or the products.
Berta Diaz I agree. In fact her eye makeup is too dark, it makes her eyes looked downturned. Also, depends on the eye shape if you go all the way to the inner corner with eyeliner. Not a good look for older women or hooded eyes.
She does very simple/simplistic makeup. She doesn’t do the fancy stuff like cut crease, extreme extravagant makeup etc. but I don’t know if it’s a style or she can’t actually do it 😂
I was thinking the same. I’m like what did she teach me that I didn’t already know? And the techniques she mentioned were common sense things I already knew. Use bronzer on ur neck, check to see if foundation matches ur face skin tone, and use a nude color for lips. She didn’t do anything to the last girls lips except apply a gloss.
She’s very one minded when it comes to makeup. She’s the typical “makeup should only enhance your natural beauty” type. Which if that is what you’re into, then good for you. But don’t make others who use makeup as art expression feel shamed for wanting to contour their nose.
You are not considering the demographic of the Today Show viewers. These are typically stay-at-home moms who aren't wearing a tacky, blinding highlight with brows so bold they look like they were stamped on. She is certainly not someone to shame others just because she teaches a technique that differs from the typical 20-something self-taught RU-vidr. She has a different style and approach to makeup and that's 100% okay. Enhancing natural beauty is a pretty honorable and reasonable goal if you ask me because it is empowering and gives women confidence in who they are, not who they make themselves up to be.
She has shamed other people’s techniques before tho. I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with only using makeup to enhance what you already have. That’s totally okay to do. But people who do glam makeup, with highlight and brows that look gorgeous and well done shouldn’t be shamed bc they maybe accentuated their features. And no, art expression with makeup is not clown makeup.
Contouring the shape of your nose is not 'art' it's literally changing your features - true artistic makeup is editorial, theatrical or special effects. Makeup for the purpose of beauty should be about enhancing what you have naturally and showcasing the best parts of you, not completely changing your face to look like someone else or to change your features entirely.
B.b. Gun If she had sanitized her hands first. Her fingers were not clean. She touched her supplies, her models’ hair, her own hair and her brushes before touching that ladies lips.
Thelma Evans From my understanding, it’s very common for making artists to be using their fingertips. But a good point you make. Also I think it’s important for them to wash their hands with soap instead of using hand sanitizer because the alcohol could dry out the client’s lips.
Triggered, snowflake? Black people have been ignored for 450 years and two white models were "ignored" (according to you) and you're butthurt? Give me a break. Has to be discrimination for it to be reversed.
Thomas Ebert What else would you have advised her to do with basically one minute per person? Not being sarcastic, but curious about your thoughts. I think the show should have given this segment more time so we could have learned more tips that wasn’t obvious.
You gotta line the full top eye lid.. honey.. that's not true u don't gotta do anything and it closes my eye off so much more than otherwise LEGIT ! I cannot
Even when other people put on my foundation no color seems to match. Often too light looks worse than little to dark.Like w It medium looks best a little darker. L med too light wrinkles accentuated.
Lulu Tube Lulu, blowing brushes from your mouth is not hygiene and creates bacteria duh!!!! All pro make up artist know this!! You’re supposed to twirl and tap the excess off and away from the client before applying on the face. Look at this way... if the make up artist is a smoker. Comes back from smoking break and starts doing your make up and blowing brushes from his or her mouth knowing he or she smoked cigarettes. Would you be ok with that?? Think about it. It’s imperative to keep the brushes sanitary and away from the mouth.
For a professional make up artist blowing on your brushes before applying make up on somebody else is just so unsanitary very surprised to see that, not a fan at all 😐
Lol MUA do it all the time. Kevyn Aucoin did. Drag Queens do. It’s what you do when you’re on a time crunch and have to be resourceful backstage etc lol
No hygienic at all...she is blowing the brush from her mouth, touching brush on her neck and then on a client,putting lipstic straight from the tube(not using little brush),touching client's lips with her fingers and etc....
I really don’t ‘get’ Bobbi Brown. She actually doesn’t seem particularly excellent at her craft, nor is her demeanor anything special. I could be wrong, just my impression
There are many famous Bobbi Browns. Not same spelling of course. But there is this one. There is the famous model that married lead singer of Warrent also starred in videos ... there is the late whitney Houston husband father of her child.. bobbi christina
She is so beautiful, I think she looks 28 only, not a day older. I want to learn whatever she does, I watched this video over and over. Please tell me anyone who is she? Is she an actress?
So where all all the extra repair skincare balms some of us have been using for so many years now?? We have been paying pretty big bucks for quite a while, being faithful Bobbi Brown consumers.... and now we can not find any of those products on either Nordstrom or the Bobbi Brown site-???
It appears like I'm obsessed with makeup. I'm MORE obsessed with makeup containers. Growing up I would cry and mom would yell at me and say "Fix your makeup." I always had to carry all my makeup with me, which frustrated me because I don't like carrying a lot of stuff with me. But then my trying to get makeup portable took on a life of its own. An engineer who has no need for a bionic limb can becomes obsessed with engineering the perfect bionic limb. I want to want to be ambitious enough to make myself up everyday. Even if I had zero interest in wearing makeup, if I had a friend who wore makeup and said to me "Dammit it's frustrating... why can't they make touch-up makeup more compact." I would set out to solve her problem.
Bobbie Brown you look so young tjose glasses steal the show its all I see. You should show off youryouthful look clear glasses (please look upSwiss Flex clear glasses. I het compliments in them all of the time. Very few eyeglass places carry them.They look more sophisticated than the generic clear that look like kids glasses.)or at least not bl3avk frames they dont look good on even brad pitt.All you see are these black frames like a cartoon character. Watch the compliments if you get swiss flex or even a subtle chetah.Show off your face!
She blew on the brush, touched all the makeup with her fingers then on the models' faces. Then she rubbed the lip gloss Into her hands like a lotion. It looked like a petroleum based gloss. Yuk
