Get the Look: Jourdan Dunn Spring/Summer 2015 Burberry Lips

Arianne Suggs May 15, 2015May 15, 2015Leave a Comment

No doubt you have probably already fashionably feasted on the Burberry ad campaign featuring the lovely Jourdan Dunn. Here at 1966 we are always on the lookout out for more and more lip colors. We loved the the light, airy yet demure tint of Dunn’s editorial pout. For the campaign Jourdan rocked Lip Cover in Devon Sunset No.28 with the color being spread across her lips then applied more intensely right in the center of her mouth. The result was absolutely fab!

Living in California we are accustomed to the coast and love everything about the sand as well as sea. The breeze, the calming sound of waves crashing, vitamin D from the sunny one high in the sky and oh yeah… the fashion! Beach wear and just summer couture in general is all about fun and good vibes. What you wear for such moments will most likely be encapsulated by photographs soon to hit a social media platform near you.

“I fall into that nebulous, quote-unquote, normal American woman size that legions of fashion stylists detest. For the record, I’m a size 8- this week, anyway. Many stylists hate that size because I think to them, it shows that I lack the discipline to be an ascetic; or the confident, sassy abandon to be a total fatty hedonist.”

–Mindy Kaling
