Some time ago, Bobbi Brown Pavilion Store was temporarily closed. It was re-located, re-modeled and now re-open! Looking more chic than ever, the store is an expression of Bobbi’s unique philosophy and aesthetic. The perfect way for consumers to discover Bobbi’s range of color cosmetics, brushes, fragrance, skincare and expert services.
This latest concept by Bobbi Brown makes me feel like New York just landed in Kuala Lumpur. It has the New York loft vibes.
When visiting the Bobbi Brown store at Pavilion Kuala Lumpur, consumers have the freedom to design their own shopping experience. There are so many things one can do such as getting some makeup tips, browse the limited edition products, or even just to watch a video of Bobbi’s seasonal inspirations. Let me take you on a virtual tour of this Bobbi Brown Pavilion Store.
THE DESIGN
Bobbi’s makeup and style are definitely reflected in the design for this store. This design is clean and modern using architectural details such as industrial steel cabinetry and Carrara marble. While an abundance of natural light, makes the space feel like a chic Soho loft. There are 3 main parts in this new store – The Communal Artistry Table, Product Wall and Inspiration Wall. My favorite among the 3 is the Inspiration Wall because I get to know more about Bobbi by just browsing through her favorite things.
- Communal Artistry Table – The heart and center of the store. This table invites consumers shopping alone, as well as larger groups. They can test products on their own or enjoy on-the-spot makeup lessons from our Makeup Artists.
- Product Wall – Introduces the consumer to key product categories. It will be updated regularly, and include framed inset niches for product along with large visuals.
- Inspirational Wall – Includes local press placements, as well as pages from Bobbi’s sketchbook and concept diary. This wall introduces consumers to Bobbi’s many facets – makeup artist, entrepreneur, lifestyle expert, philanthropist – and illuminates the inspirations and concepts behind top Bobbi Brown products.
My advise: If you’re unsure where to start, always check out the lipstick first. It’s affordable and I’m sure you’ll find a shade that you love. Then go on to explore the Foundation since this is a Bobbi Brown store. You’ll never go wrong with Bobbi Brown’s Foundation.
THE SERVICES
Teaching is a key component of Bobbi’s philosophy. Inspired by the belief that it’s about offering “makeup lessons not makeovers,” her professional makeup artists teach women to be their own beauty experts. Before applying makeup, each artist takes into account a woman’s personal style, her lifestyle and her preferences. If you’re unsure what to do, do not hesitate to get a consultation from a makeup artist at your nearest Bobbi Brown store. Every Makeup Lesson concludes with the creation of a personalized face chart to help a woman recreate the look at home.
On the grand opening of Bobbi Brown Pavilion Store, Felix Nguyen, Regional Education & Artistry Manager for Bobbi Brown Asia Pacific was present to share some makeup and skincare tips. Those of us who attended the grand opening were very fortunate to get to see him live in action! Here are some tips and tricks I learn from him and sharing it with you. Hope it’ll be able to help you too.
- Always make sure you apply skincare before putting on makeup.
- Issues with dark circles and lines? Apply concealer on under eyes and lines by the side of your nose.
- If you would like to achieve those glowing and healthy skin, apply some oil but use it sparingly. Only dab it on the cheekbones and not entire face!
- Loose powder should only be use on areas that’s necessary. For instance, T-Zone.
- The best way to use a cream blusher, is by using a brush. Use the brush to dab it on the blusher, then dab it on your palm first before brushing it all over cheeks. After that, blend it with a foundation brush if need to.
- If you would like to use a bronzer, chose a natural color. Use a brush and glide it on your cheeks following your face shape.
- Last but not least, brush those highlighter on your cheekbones, forehead (nearest to your hairline), slightly on nose and chin.
