For Alexa Chung talk about over with to the Burberry Spring/Summer season ‘26 affirm at London Vogue Week, she needed to reference an icon: Lauren Hutton. There’s one thing about Hutton’s glimpse that embodies effortless magnificence, think sublime NY apartment, morning-after hair, and that ‘I wakened bask in this’ glamour that’s as linked now as it became in the seventies. But for Burberry, I needed to give that vitality a contemporary nod: a scramble moodier, a shrimp bit undone, but quiet polished and up to date.

The Inspiration: Easy Class, The Lauren Hutton Attain

It’s constantly relaxing reinterpreting vintage muses for a brand recent know-how. Lauren Hutton’s commence, pure, and flippantly undone beauty feels as frigid on this day’s runways as it did in 70s Vogue. But for a affirm bask in Burberry, on the general crisp, directional, and a shrimp bit rebellious, I felt her makeup must have confidence a sharper edge. The respond? Match softness and depth: a memoir informed in grey and brown, two shades that if handled poorly would possibly perhaps well feel muddy, but carried out appropriate, ultra-up to date.

Eyes: Grey, Graphite, and Sculpted Smoke

Other folks every now and then apprehensive a ways from grey and brown collectively, assuming they’ll clash or dull every various down. But with makeup, nuance is all the pieces. For Alexa’s eyes, I started by tightlining with a steel-grey pencil, a little detail that straight makes the lash line extra outlined and affords eyes a solid but not overwhelming body. Subsequent, I built outwards utilizing a veil of slate shadow, softly diffused to preserve the mood light, earlier than deepening and warming the glimpse with a chocolate brown color on the outer corners.

For the lips, I needed to interrupt a ways from the glaring crimson or nude, vogue week is constantly about stretching those boundaries. A downhearted taupe pencil gave Alexa’s lips a crisp, outlined edge, which I feathered correct into a rich tobacco brown by the centre. This straight felt extra runway than a daytime nude, and brought a grounded sophistication to the entire face.

TOP TIP: The important thing to warding off flatness with browns on the lip? Texture. I performed with a dab of moisture in the centre of the lips (any hydrating balm or light gloss will plan). It’s particulars bask in this that discontinuance a solid brown lip from reading too retro or too heavy.

A gray and brown palette can with out reveal tip into looking out stark except the complexion stays shimmering and recent. I kept Alexa’s skin glowy and energetic with a mushy peachy blush brushed over the high parts, take into legend the parts you naturally flush after a brisk stroll and a lightweight veil of highlighter on the tops of the cheekbones, cupid’s bow, and down the nose.
