Burberry Launches New Make-up Line



Most recognizable for their famous plaid print and iconic trench coats, Burberry has always been well known in the fashion world. Now, they have branched into the cosmetics industry with their new line of make-up. Burberry's creative director, Christopher Bailey, has said that the line "reflects the natural style and relaxed attitude" of Burberry's trenches. The 96 piece collection was inspired by skies, sculpture, fabric, and colors. Read on for more info on Bailey's palette choices!
Bailey mentioned that his "colors come from beautiful cloudy storms followed by the gentle glow of the sun." He is also inspired the sculpture and paintings of Henry Moore. When designing the textures of the products, Bailey turned to gabardine, mentioning that "the material used for the Burberry trench is central to the texture of the line." Last but not least, when it it was time to pick the packaging colors and patterns, he turned to gunmetal gray and plaid because the gray is modern and clean, while the plaid tells the world that the product belongs to Burberry!
The products are as functional as they are pretty. I would definitely check them out!
Love,
Grace
