Exclusive Preview: The SS2015 Burberry Beauty Look

It was a lovely surprise to be invited to the new Burberry headquarters in London to preview the brand’s SS2015 beauty look the day before their SS2015 fashion show (during London Fashion Week back in September).

This post might be a little overdue but a classic look is never out of style! I had the pleasure of having Burberry’s Make-up Artist Consultant Wendy Rowe recreate this Burberry look on me.

This was also the one occasion during all the fashion weeks where I could sit down with a cup of tea and relax a little, learning about the brand and their beauty products in the company of Burberry’s Chief Creative and CEO Christopher Bailey, the non-stop globetrotter Nicole Warne (GaryPepperGirl), and beauty guru Rae (RaeView).

Wendy was very thorough during the preview and workshop, carefully examining each of our complexions and asking what colour/look we wanted to have for the day. She also showcased the SS2015 runway look (for the show that took place at Kensington Garden the very next day) on one of Burberry’s models for us to see up-close.

While Wendy was ‘painting’ me (like an artist working on a canvas), I was taking notes!

Here are few tips for you to get that everyday Burberry look – The Drew Look:

• Mascara is not necessary
• Go for matte if you love having some red on your lips (put a tissue on your lips and dust with a brush with some powder)
• Big eyebrows are in (look at Cara Delevingne!); gel texture does the trick better than traditional eyebrow pencils

What she used on me:

• Fresh Glow Luminous Fluid Base (Golden Radiance No.02)
• Fresh Glow B.B Cream
• Lightly Glow (Earthy Blush No.07)
• Effortless Eyebrow Definer
• Lip Cover (Ruby No.18)

Besides beauty products for your face, I was also very excited about Burberry’s simple dewy nail polish colours. It was so easy to make a purchase of the limited edition ones via the brand’s Twitter account!

Thanks to Burberry for a magnificent experience and making me feel so ready for the fashion week ahead (back then anyway!) with the right makeup… and the right skills to apply them.
