“From the cool New Yorker to the fashionable Brit to the chic Parisian, the limited edition makeup palettes and hand- picked shades inside perfectly capture what I love about each city,” explained the world-renowned makeup artist and creator of universally-flattering foundations, eye shadows and mascaras.

Sought-after illustrator Richard Haines has created beautiful sketches inspired by the cities to adorn each palette.

A navy eye shadow has been chosen for a trend-led Brit, understated nudes for the effortless New Yorker, and grey hues for the elegant Parisian. For the eyeliner and lip colour, opt for suitably representative shades: Union Jack for London, Dark Chocolate for New York and Parisian Red.

This Fall saw also the launch of Bobbi’s new Retouching Wand. This “magic wand” is not quite a foundation, but more than coverup. This unique formula seamlessly and invisibly evens out skin for a retouched yet natural look.
