Burberry Beauty’s Spring 2011 Collection Is Pretty In Pinks (& Nudes!)

It’s crazy to think that Burberry Beauty is less than a year old, yet at the same time I remember the anticipation of the launch like it was yesterday! The fashion house’s first line for fall was all about classic shades and signature autumn hues like reds, plums, and browns (after all, the color palette was inspired by their classic trench), and it definitely begged the question, what will they come up with next? Well, the new season brings a chance for us to find out, and their Spring 2011 collection does not disappoint! While the selection is a bit on the safe side, it manages to be classic and pretty without verging on boring. The soft neutral color palette boasts plenty of nudes and rosy pinks that give the perfectly fresh, barely-there spring glow that’s subtle yet statement-making at the same time. The collection features new Sheer Shadow, Satin Lipstick, Natural Lip Gloss, and Natural Blush shades in taupe, rose pink, trench, and a soft creamy coral. Plus, the best part of a neutral-based collection is that you can afford to go all out and create an entire full-face look out of the shades without looking like you’ve gone overboard. Splurge away!
