Decatur Blvd., 702-685-9298; lmakeupinstitute.com Oh, You Pretty Things the city with the shiniest veneer doesn't take beauty lightly—and neither do our favorite cosmetics boutiques. Makeup Maven Beauty pioneer Bobbi Brown talks to Vegas about technique— and her new Telluride Collection. How can we use your new col- lection for a smoky-eye look? "choose a light-to-medium matte shadow from the telluride eye Palette and apply it from lash to crease. then choose your favorite shimmery shadow from the palette and layer that on top of the matte shadow, also from lash to crease. apply the caviar ink long-wear gel eyeliner to the upper lash line using a liner brush, as close to the base of the lashes as possi- ble, and apply what's left on the brush to the bottom lash line. to fnish the eyes, apply a few coats of smokey eye mascara to the top lashes and one coat to the bottom lashes." What are your warm-weather must-haves? "my bb cream sPf 35, because it's your fve-in-one product for fawless sum- mer skin; my long-wear gel eyeliner; and my Pot rouge, because it's an on-the-go touch-up tool that'll give cheeks the perfect glow and a tint of color to the lips." Vegas is an up-all-night town. Any tips for looking fresh the morning after? "drink lots of water, apply moisturizer, and use an under- eye concealer—it's my secret to the universe!"
