Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.As announced by the British success brand last year, Burberry will launch its line of color cosmetics this July, joining a big list of fashion labels that have introduced their own-brand beauty collections recently. So how will it be different?
First of all, products won't be updated every season as opposed to most other ranges be it fast-fashion like Topshop's new line (out May 5) or high-fashion like Dolce & Gabbana's new makeup collection. Instead, creative head Christopher Bailey will start with close to 100 'classic' items for the face, lips, cheeks, and eyes, and then introduce novelties when the time feels right.
"Like the trenchcoat, [the range] can be worn anywhere and at any time," Bailey told Women's Wear Daily. "When we feel it needs a new pop of something, we will start adding things and that will all flow with fashion, as well."
Secondly, judging from the exemplary activity on social media such as Facebook and new website launches such as The Art of the Trench, it is safe to expect a beauty brand that will interact with its customers a lot, and Bailey confirms that the new collection is "completely integrated with everything else we do with the brand and with the company."
The range, which will simply be called Burberry Beauty - a fitting name given that the brand's iconic trenches and check pattern did not only influence the packaging but also the actual product colors (trend-wise, it's a good time to launch beiges and nudes) - will be priced from €18 to €44.
