Hey everyone! As someone who is passionate about beauty and following dreams, I find it so important to seek out the perspectives of ladies who inspire us. Today I wanted to share with you Wendy Rowe, Burberry's Make-up Artistic Consultant who is a fountain of makeup wisdom and uses her talents to help develop products and visual direction for Burberry's runway looks each season. Dream job status, am I right? Not only is she an impressive #girlboss but is a truly charismatic and inspirational woman in person so I wanted to take my opportunity of collaborating with Burberry to interview her and get a peek inside her life!

As Burberry's Make-up Artistic Consultant, you have a big role in guiding the beauty look for a runway show -- what's your first step in that process?

Today I wanted to share a tutorial using none other than the totally sexy Urban Decay Smoky Palette which I previously reviewed here. Although there are a variety of looks that you can create with this palette, I thought it would only be appropriate to share its namesake look: the smoky eye.

This smoky is very red carpet glamorous but not too over-the top so I consider it more of an everyday smoky you'd wear on a date night or going to a special event.

Yes mom, you can wear red lips with a smoky eye! *teenage angst*

Ahh, London, how I adore you! The breathtaking architecture, the royal palaces, beautiful gardens, and of course the epicenter for the impeccably dressed during London Fashion Week. London just oozes history and charm and I was absolutely elated to join the Burberry team to experience it first hand.

Our trip started off with visiting Covent Garden to pop into the Burberry Beauty Box, a boutique featuring the entire Burberry Beauty range as well as fragrances and a scarf bar. I personally loved the giant My Burberry perfume bottle outside and wished I could take it home with me. :)
