Sun kissed skin and red ruby lips – learn how to create Burberry’s Spring 2015 makeup look in just a few simple steps.
We always look forward to Burberry Prorsum’s fashion shows – from the ultra-sleek locks, to the makeup, to the clothes. And this season particularly caught our eye – teaming with natural, sun kissed skin and beautiful ruby red lips.
Start the look off by applying a bronzing base all over your face. If you would like, apply fake tan to your face a day in advance. Highlight under the eyes, in the centre of the forehead and on your chin by sweeping a touch of powder – opt for a colour that is 1 to 2 shades lighter than your natural skin tone.
If you have freckles you can skip this step. With a freckle or eyebrow pencil, dot on some natural freckles around your nose and on the high points of your cheeks. Don’t draw them on too hard. Once done, pat your fingers over the freckles to smooth out any unwanted harsh lines.
As for the eyes, go in with a shadow that is 1 to 2 shades darker than your skin tone – apply all over the lid. At the water line, apply a sweep of skin-coloured liner – this helps to brighten the eye and make you look more awake. Finish with a tiny touch of your favourite mascara.
Now, onto the best part – the lips. Line your pout with a red lip liner and especially for this look, make sure the line is quite visible. Using Burberry’s lip cover in Ruby, fill in your lips gently. Do not apply too much product, we don’t want to completely cover your natural lip colour. To avoid shine and keep the lipstick from bleeding, put a piece of tissue paper over the lips and dust with a translucent powder.
There you have, a look that may possibly even beat Snow White.
