A great eye palette if often the all you need to get you through a season, so imagine how versatile it can be for your travels. Like that perfect LBD, Bobbi Brown’s Smokey Nudes Collection is that core collection of items that are universally flattering and totally practical. The eight shade palette is a highlight — composed of just the right variety of flattering shades to create everything from a soft day eye to a dramatic evening look for fall and beyond.
