Bobbi Brown has always been pragmatic about beauty, with the air of a mom who tells you with no-duh confidence that yes, you would look better if slouched less, and used a little blush on your face. The only contour she likes, she tells me, is Spanx for her middle (even though a makeup artist

If you remember the brand in its 90s heyday, you can probably appreciate the tinge of nostalgic nods through all of the new Helmut Lang beauty looks.
