Burberry Prorsum Runway Make-up A/W 2012

Burberry very kindly sent me some of the products that they used on their Burberry Prorsum A/W 2012 LFW runway look to feature on the blog. The look is, 'rich, defined eyes with natural pink lips. Effortlessly flawless skin with gently contoured cheeks.'

The Look
As seen on the runway and an adapted version on some of the guests. I went for a softer eye so that the skin took center stage.

How I Got The Look

I started by applying the Burberry primer in 'Fresh Glow' to my face and let it settle. I applied the luminous concealer in '03 Rosy Beige' under my eyes and blended it in with my fingers. (Don't be afraid of it's peachy color.. it blends in well and neutralizes any color issues!) Then using a kabuki brush I applied the Sheer Foundation in '04 Trench' to my face and neck. I then swept the blush in 'no8 Misty' up my cheekbones.

To complete the look, I added a bit of Dior matte bronzer no2 to add warmth to my cheeks, eyes and forehead. I then applied MAC 'espresso' eyeshadow all over and under my eyes and L'Oreal voluminous mascara. On my lips I used Korres pink lipstick.
(The exact Burberry products used to finish the look on the runway were.. Gold Trench, Taupe Brown & Almond eye shadows, Effortless mascara in Midnight Black and Nude Cashmere or Delicate Rose lip cover.)

All in all I was thrilled to be sent these things to play with. They got my coloring in the foundation & concealer spot on! I have two favourite items which are the foundation and blush which I would most definitely re-purchase in the future. The concealer is great but I hate clicky pen products because you can never tell when you are running out and I find the whole attached brush thing gross!

The powder foundation is my kind of product! I have been using it every day since I received it. It gives the right kind of t-zone shine control whilst still being sheer and letting your natural skin shine through. I prefer it to the MAC msf I have been using and I most likely will stick to this for a while. I love powder products as I like the flawless, velvety finish they give my skin.

As for the blush I think the above photo speaks for itself. A gorgeous neutral pink that looks good worn alone or with bronzer. The texture of the product is flawless.. it applies so smoothly. Both powder products wore well on my skin which I am sure is partly due to the fantastic, illuminating primer. Writing this post has reminded me of how much I loved my Burberry 04 Summer Glow bronzer which I need to re-purchase asap!

*Products were sent to me for my blog. If you remember my old youtube videos you will remember that I am a huge Burberry make-up fan!*
