September was definitely all about the fashion shows. Everything started in New York, then one by one London, Milan and Paris took the stage, as expected!
Confession time: there are two particular fashion shows I can’t wait to see every season: the first one is from Dior, because I adore Peter Philips’ work ( you can read the full article on the makeup he proposes for next spring here ) and the other one happens in London and it is – as you all might have guessed, the Burberry show.
This year I fell in love with the so unusually bright colours and prints in the Burberry clothing collection, with those amazing monogrammed trenches ( a new service to customize your favourite Burberry pieces ) and, of course, with the makeup proposed for the upcoming S/S 2015 season by Wendy Rowe, the Artistic Cosnultant for Burberry and Makeup Artist Extraordinaire.
This makeup is already known by now as Wendy Rowe’s Nude Beauty and it is as simple and minimalist as I like it, but bold at the same time because she exquisitely combined a bold deep red lip with a honey-bronzed radiant skin. So unusual for a Spring look and on the other side of the spectrum from the soft pastels we are used with! But the makeup complimented the clothing collection so well and it is so easy to use, and above all so easy to recreate.

You only need ( here you have the actual products she used, but adapted to my own skin colour ):
– Burberry Fresh Glow Luminous Fluid Base in #02 Golden Radiance
– Burberry Fresh Glow BB Cream in #01 Fair ( previously reviewed here )
– Burberry Fresh Glow Foundation #11 Porcelain
– Burberry Sheer Concealer in #02 Soft Beige
– Burberry Light Glow Blush #07 Earthy, on both cheeks and eyes
– Burberry Effortless Eyebrow Definer #02 Sepia, out this month ( I have a review on it coming soon
*Update: you can now find the review here )
– Burberry Lip Definer #05 Brick Red
– Burberry Lip Cover in #18 Ruby
– nails: Burberry proposed two sets of nail polishes available for purchase on their website

As you can see the particularity of this makeup is that the each product is meticulously placed on the face in thin layers, very well blended to avoid it looking “cakey” and the final result to be a natural sun kissed look.
Besides that no mascara was used. It seems like since Peter Philips stopped using mascara for the A/W 2014 Dior Couture Fashion Show this spring ( see post here ), this became a real trend among the big fashion names. That’s why they call it minimal makeup anyway!
Nonetheless, Burberry came out with two amazing mascaras that I’m currently testing and, of course, I will write a review about them very soon!
What do you think about this look? Would you go bold for spring or you’ll stick up to your favourite pastels?
See you soon, beautiful!
xx, Annie

I’m not a fan of pastels to begin with! I’m so pale that pastel colors in clothes completely wash me out and honestly, I feel like I look very retro in a bad way, if I use pastels in makeup. I’m all for this trend! 😀 Now, I can’t get a bronzed glow to my pale skin, but perhaps I can make myself look a bit less pale somehow… (and apply bronzer?)

The look Burberry went for here is not the usual summer-like bronzed look! As tou can see from the pictures it’s that minimal, healthy luminous subtle bronze suitable, in my opinion, for every skin tone! Simply adapt the trend to your skin by using that much bronzer and highlighter as your pale skin allows you to! 😉 And if you’re not a fan of pastels, definitely this one is for you!
Thank you for stopping by, Jenni! 😉 xx

Yup, no mascara! My lazy self rejoyces! 😀 And I’m trying two of new ones the same company released! Haha! The red lip is my favourite though, and I love the fact that they went for a more bronzed skin, since I couldn’t achieve that porcelain doll complexion! 😉 xx

Same here! A bold lip, especially if it’s a red one, it’s a statement itself! I love Union Red too! Unfortunately I don’t have Ruby and it wasn’t in stock on their website! But I will definitely get my hands on it! 😀 😉 xx
