There were a lot of novelties in Burberry‘s makeup department with the launch of their new S/S Spring 2015 Collection, called Nude Beauty. Starting with the look proposed by the absolutely gorgeous and talented Andy Rowe, slightly unusual for the English weather-inspired Burberry common looks. Now I’m talking subtle bronzed, glowing face combined with a bold brick red lip and the so trendy no-mascara eye look… But I already wrote a blog post about the subject with details about the products used, the steps to achieve the look and lots of gorgeous pictures from behind the scenes! So make sure you check that one out!
Even if I don’t leave the house without “putting my brows on”, I’m not the biggest fan of brow pencils. I prefer using a brow powder or even an eyeshadow close in colour to the natural colour of my brows, to a waxy, messy, not pigmented enough pencil that gives me the sensation of crunchy brows…
But this was not the case here!
The new Burberry Effortless Eyebrow Definer is a double-ended automatic pencil, with a fine slanted tip on one side ( which imitates the shape of a precise brow brush ) made of buildable, powder texture which makes application the easiest. On the other end of the pencil there is a small and precise brush designed to sculpt, style and fix brows in place.
How I shape my brows:
– brows with nothing on; or should I call this “brow-naked”?! Haha!
– first I go in with the brush side to make sure there is no excess foundation or powder on them and give me a basic shape to start with
– then, following the natural shape of my brows, by using light strokes I fill any gaps and add definition wherever it’s needed. I always start at the arch and working towards the tail of the brow.
You have no idea where the arch of your brow is? Make sure you check and follow the instructions in these helpful pictures below!
– image source Pinterest ( make sure you follow me there too! )
– image source Pinterest
– then I use the brush to sculpt the inner corners of the brow, adding the tiniest amount of product because I think they look more natural like that
– and as a final step, I brush through the brows once more to even out the colour and set everything in place
– brows with the Burberry Effortless Eyebrow Definer on
My colour here is #02 Sepia, a muted brown with ashy undertones, which makes it not too warm but amazing for a soft, natural, everyday, effortless look. Actually it’s very similar to the first darker brown shade in my Guerlain Eyebrow Kit 4 Long-Lasting Powders Tailor-Made Shades ( which I will definitely review soon ).
And that would be it! Thank you for reading and make sure you check the post where I featured the new Burberry S/S 2015 Look created by the amazingly talented Andy Rowe!
See you soon, beautiful!
xx, Annie

You’re right my lovely! Some may laugh and think we’re obsessed, but brow products can really change a look! They can make it better if they’re well done… or worse. Well, you know what I mean because I’m sure you’ve seen plenty of brow fails yourself.
A question I wanted to ask you ever since you wrote that post on those brow products ( sorry but I can’t remember that product’s name, for the life of me! )… Do you like the Cara Delevingne type of brows or the more common shape?

Gosh Annie I love your beauty posts, the review is detailed and candid, and the tips are always so helpful! The pictures are just what I need to get my browns right! I recently picked up the Anastasia brow wiz (i know i’m so slow to jump on that bandwagon!) but I’ve made a mental note to give this a try next time! And btw I finally picked up a new Burberry lipstick, the oxblood sheer one, oh the color is divine!! xoxo~ Lena

My lovely Lena you’re always a sweetheart and I really thank you for that!
Believe it or not, I think I might be the last beauty junkie on Earth that doesn’t own any of those infamous Anastasia Brow products! 😳 I’m planning to get some soon though! How is the Brow Whiz os it worth the hype?
I have the Lip Cover in Oxblood and I adore it! You’ll see it on my lips on my next post, which goes up Saturday! I love the formula of the Sheers so easy to wear and apply. I want my bold colurs to be more opaque and intense though!

The details in Burberry’s makeup line is too much for me to resist much longer. Your photos are simply delicious. I loved reading about (and seeing) the brow guidelines. That was very useful! Thank you. :o) Your brows look beautiful. I think I may have to snap this up when my ABH Brow Wiz runs out… ;o)

I still use powders on top of the pencil actually, just to create that texture. I actually use Burberry Taupe Brown as my brow powder 😀
I love Anastasia Brow Wiz and Diorshow Brow Styler.
SUQQU Eyebrow Liquid Pen is beautiful too. Takes a little more time to do the brows with it, but the result is really natural! I don’t use it that often because it’s not exactly easy to get

I’m eyeing that SUQQU BROW PENCIL in Moss Green for… I don’t even remember how long! My brows don’t need particular grooming! Just a bit of trimming and some filling in!
Love Taupe Brown for the brows too! The makeup artist who did my makeup a while ago used it on me too! 👌
My favourite brow powders were those in the Guerlain brow kit!
But this pencil stole its shine! LOL For now, anyway!
I was thinking to try Anastasia, the “infamous” Hourglass and TF ones next! 😁
