Joining the Dark Side with the Bobbi Brown Black Velvet Collection

August 30th, 2010 by Karen 94 Comments

Bobbi Brown Black Velvet swatches review

Darth Vader: Bobbi, you do not yet realize your importance. You have only begun to discover your power. Join me, and I will complete your training. With our combined strength, we can end this destructive conflict and bring order to the galaxy.
Bobbi Brown: Speak to me.
Darth Vader: If you only knew the power of the Dark Side…

Actually, Bobbi does know the power of the Dark Side. She joined it this fall, but not in an evil empire kind of way (I would totally buy a Vader lipstick! Darth Vadar).

Bobbi’s new 14-piece Black Velvet collection (pieces $20-24 each) features, as one might expect, a selection of sooty black-based makeup for eyes and lips, and since we’re talking about the Queen of Wearable Makeup here, there’s nothing too cray-cray in the mix. The colors have all been dialed down enough to make them suitable for sidewalks AND catwalks.

Yes, each of the new permanent collection products and limited edition shades is influenced by black, but Bobbi kept everything street- and workplace-friendly, adding plums, cherries and maple tones, as well as a few semi-transparent shades.

My lips like these dark lipsticks; they totally take me back to the gothy mid-’90s, when night shades and black lips were all the rage. Those were my college years, and I remember getting a lot of use out of a color that was similar to Bobbi’s Lip Color in Black Maple (can’t remember the name, but it was also a semi-matte blackish plum), which I’d wear with plaid shirts, ripped jeans, big hoop earrings and Converse high tops. 🙂

Here are some swatches and pics from the new collection… Let me know what you think!

I like that Bobbi tried to make sooty black lips and eyes more accessible with this release, but I wonder what die-hard Bobbi Brown fans will think about it.

When I picture the classic Bobbi look, I think fresh, pretty and easygoing — makeup for women who lean toward the conservative end of the makeup spectrum.

My hat goes off to her for trying something new, and I always love nods to the ’90s, but from what I’ve seen of Black Velvet so far, I wouldn’t call it one of my favorite BB releases to date. Apart from the Sparkle Eye Shadow in Black Velvet (glitter!), the eye colors aren’t exciting me. It all feels very serious to me, more serious than MAC’s similar Style Black collection did last year.

Let me know what you think… Inquiring minds want to know!

    Bobbi Brown products are seriously lacking in pigmentation. Most of the price-tag is in the packaging, which is admittedly sleek, with the actual product being not upto par. Dissappointing

      I think the line appeals to a certain type of makeup lover — ladies who like more of a natural look. I have friends who prefer it over brands like MAC. It just depends on what you like, I guess.

    I’m afraid this collection doesn’t do anything for me. I’m just not a fan of Bobbi Brown in general because their products are too sheer for my taste but I can see why women who are into natural and safe looks love them. I would have loved to see the products in this collection more pigmented and darker, but I guess that’s not what BB is about.

    You look great in the last photo though. Those lip products really suit you!

    I actually like this collection, despite the fact that I think it would be too dark for pasty me. You look absolutely amazing though. I would love to be able to pull off that lipstick like you do!! And I’d pick up a Vader lippie too. 🙂 That MAC widget looks pretty cool! My girls are not photogenic at all though – or maybe they just think their back ends look better than their faces in print! 🙂

    I love the quality of BB products, and so it’s exciting to see the line do something daring and on-trend. Even if her fans don’t like the concept, I am sure adding 1 or 2 pieces from the collection will give them something to feel glamorous about. I personally am excited to swatch these for myself!

    Yeah when I first heard about this collection I immediately thought, “Style Black Lite” but I’m still willing to check it out. I don’t own many BB products but I tend to pick something from her line that I absolutely love like the gel eyeliner in Sapphire Ink I found at a Company Store. I think I’m only interested in the Black Chocolate liner. I don’t know why I am jocking the eyeliners lately.

    Did Mommy stick a powder on top of your head to humiliate you? Poor Tibby Tabs! Mommy should give you an increase in kitty snaps to make up for your humiliation.

    They need a collection for canines (Courageous Canines? Crazy Canines? Hmmmm, Cuckoo or Crazy Canines might be better if we’re talking about Zena here) now so I can upload Zena. She could possibly pass off as a feline if I tried hard enough….possibly. I think she gives herself away as deliciously canine though.

    I really like the eyeshadows. They’re really pretty, especially the grey one; I LOVE grey eyeshadows. I have a billion it seems like (okay, more like four and two eyeliners, but you get the idea. I like grey). I would have paired this collection with pink glosses in warm tones and cool tones (so everyone could wear a pink) though. I always wear a grey idea with a pink lip so the lips and eyes don’t duke it out for attention.

        Zena would never stay still long enough for me to put a compact on her head and snap a photo. She hates anything on her head and hates staying still; she may be a camera ham, but only if I run after her and snap photos like a maniac. She did, however, stay still long enough for me to take this photo

        I’m much better, thank you for asking. I’m finally free of taking very nasty tasting steroids. They had to be the worst tasting steroids I’ve ever taken and I’ve taken a quite a few kinds. I chugged about 1/2 a bottle of water every time I had to take them.

Sadly they don’t really suit me (I’m FAIR), but that first lipstick you tried on is gorgeous. Sigh.

    I ♥ you for this post! Just curious, did you have to really rub hard and get in there to get the Black Velvet swatch, or is it just that pigmented? Black Velvet is so va-va-va-voom on you and such a quick and easy way to go for that vamp-in-a-hurry look. Love this. Buying this. Rocking this. I am so totally crossing over! The Bay Area is down with Bobbi Brown! =)

    I was really digging the pictures of the Black Berry shadow, but in the swatch, it looks more like MAC’s Beautymarked (which I’m not too crazy about). Do you think they’re similar?

    Im not sure about the dark lips. I dont think it would suit me. The eyeshadows look nice though 🙂

    I love the sparkly eyeshadow and the berry lippies. I also love the dark liner you have on your lower lashes. It’s so dramatic! I have always wanted to wear it this way but find that the liner runs immediately.

    How do you apply liner to your lower lash line so it looks dark all night/day long and doesn’t run?

About Makeup and Beauty Blog

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
