Burberry Beauty:  A Simple Look

Here is a quick look using the Burberry products I’ve been testing out over the past few days.  I will review everything soon, so please be patient as I give everything a fair test and write-up. 🙂

You will need the following…

  • Eyes: NARS Smudgeproof Eyeshadow Base (neutral eyeshadow base), Burberry Trench (02) Eyeshadow (beige), Burberry Taupe Brown (07) Eyeshadow (dark brown), Burberry Midnight Brown (02) Eyeliner (brown), MAC Plushlash Mascara (black)
  • Face: Burberry Sheer Foundation (03), Laura Mercier Loose Setting Powder (translucent)
  • Cheeks: Burberry Russet (01) Blush (soft red-brown)
  • Lips: Burberry Ruby (18) Lipstick (ruby red)
  • Brushes: 249 (flat, firm brush), 239 (fluffy shadow brush), 226 (fluffy crease brush), 219 (pointed crease brush), 116 (dense blush brush)
  • Substitutes: Trench = MAC Shroom; Taupe Brown = MAC Mystery

For eyes, start by applying Smudgeproof as your eyeshadow base all over the eye area with the 249. Using the 239, apply Trench eyeshadow all over the lower lid.  Then, apply Taupe Brown eyeshadow into the crease with the 226 and blend upwards.  Lightly blend Trench eyeshadow above the crease and highlight the brow with the 239.  Bring everything together by applying Midnight Brown eyeliner on the lower lash line.  Finish by sweeping lashes with Plushlash mascara.

For cheeks, apply Russet blush on the apples of the cheeks and sweep upwards towards the temple with the 116.

For lips, apply Ruby lipstick for a complementing lip.

O.O funny thing… today I wore the EXACT SAME LOOK OF eye make up today. I used my Smashbox ‘Juxtapose’ quad. 😛 I’ve been having a lot of deja vu lately.

Ahh Christine, I love this! It’s very retro 🙂 Anxiously awaiting your review on the Burberry line as a whole, it sucks there are no Nordstroms near NYC 🙁

hey christine, i have a really random question, in that it has nothing to do with this post. im currently using mac prep and prime on my face as a primer, but it doesnt seem to hold my make up in place at all. i have oily skin in the t-zone and open pores, and was wondering if you have any suggestions as to some primers that could hold my make up for longer. would really apreciate the help xoxo

Wow, this is a beautiful look on you! Very classic! I love neutral eyeshadows and this look is perfect – can anyone offer a duplicate look using Chanel or Bobbi?

gorgeous, as always 🙂

i saw lisa eldridge’s review/tutorial on YT and i have to say i would skip the eyeshadows and foundation because it’s just too sheer for my taste (esp. for the price. i’m assuming since they’re burberry, they will probably be expensive). but the lip & cheek products look fab and i’ll probably end up with those :p

So pretty! The first picture made me want the eyeshadows, and then I scrolled down! That shade of red is absolutely stunning!! I am excited to see your review of it.

That last photo where you’re looking down with your eyes almost/shut makes you look like a forties screen siren – sizzling!

I think if I was going to replicate this look I’d plump for a more nude or beige blush – I can’t really pull off red tones – but it looks fabulous on you!

Well, you inspired me to try red toned blush again – I dug one out of my stash and put it on this morning… I think the key for me is to apply it a bit further back, just past the apples of my cheeks and then gently blend it forward.
Otherwise I just look a bit…funny. LOL!

Wowwww. That red lip/warm blush combo is KILLER on you. Makes me wish I was a little darker/warmer than I am so I could try it 🙂

Wow- you are so beautiful! You make it look so easy, the gorgeous neutral eye never looked better. And those red lips! I wish I was confident enough to carry this look off!

This is such a gorgeous look, Christine. 😀 (I’m glad it loaded for me lol.) Smoking!

Off the top of your head, do you know of a good MAC dupe for the lipstick? As much as I love the color, I have a hard time paying for high end designer brands. :B I start feeling guilty and can’t enjoy the product lol.

Thank you so much! 😀
