When we’re talking "Old Hollywood" from Bobbi Brown, we’re not talking pop divas.
Oh no. We’re talking old-time, drop-dead, bite-your-lip glamour girls from days gone by.
The range channels the deliberate beauty of a high-maintenance screen siren, who favours red over pastel pink. Actresses of the pre-60’s, in Hollywood’s Golden Age – from Greta Garbo, Katharine Hepburn, Marlene Dietrich, Grace Kelly, Mae West, Rita Hayworth, Lauren Bacall, Sophia Loren, Bette Davis and Audrey Hepburn to the last actress of Old Hollywood; Elizabeth Taylor – were often photographed in black and white, and knew how to apply makeup to best flatter their faces when you couldn’t see colour. It was all about light and dark and contouring. Dramatic ink liner made eyes stand out, and strong lip colour defined a cupid’s bow.
The holiday collection 2013 entitled ‘Old Hollywood’ from Bobbi Brown is out in time for party season. Team your LBD or floor length maxi with a red lip and a matching nail to get noticed. Walk the red carpet and star in your own movies.
