Have you ever received constructive criticism about your makeup from a friend? What if that ‘friend’ was actually Trinny Woodall. And it was feedback that lead you to refresh your daily beauty routine for the first time in 18 years? Well, following their catchup during Trinny’s trip to Sydney, this is the situation Phoebe Burgess found herself in.
Can you blame Phoebe for wanting to take swift action? We are talking about a woman who has built an entire career around helping women to look and feel their best.
Sharing a series of fresh-faced selfies to Instagram, Phoebe captioned the carousel “sooooo, when someone like Trinny @trinnywoodall tells you – to your bronzed face – that your make up ‘look’ is dated – take the advice.” Hard agree.
All in good spirits, Phoebe took this feedback in her stride and headed to the one place where all good budding makeup artists are born: TikTok. “Long story short, this is me freshening up my makeup routine that hadn’t budged since 2014,” she wrote.
So, what exactly does Phoebe’s beauty reset look like?
Well, according to Phoebe she’s “ditching the heavy-handed bronzing vibe and embracing fresher techniques.” Citing damp sponges and foundation dipped in water as two of her first pit-stops on the journey.
Labelling it a work-in-progress, the mum-of-two revealed she’s “having fun experimenting” as she plays with a more pared-back and natural look.
What steps are involved in Phoebe’s new makeup routine?
Outside of forgoing heavy bronzer, Phoebe didn’t specify her new routine. However, you don’t need to be a detective to figure out that it’s likely built with products from the Trinny London range. After all, nobody does a fresh face quite like Trinny. Ahem, have you tried the BFF De-Stress Serum ($75 at Trinny London)? Heaven.
What did Trinny have to say about Phoebe’s new look?
She was pleased, of course. Leaving a comment to her Instagram, Trinny wrote, “now I really see you! How gorgeous do you look! So wonderful to meet you.”

Would you love makeup advice from Trinny Woodall? If you had the chance, what would you like to ask her?
I think a fresh look is always nice!
totally my main aim is to have a nice clear fresh skin
I’m not sure what I would ask, I don’t wear much makeup. I think her advice was good though.
I am the same but it would be interesting to get her ideas
Would love that too!
Yes Trinny has some good advise
I would love advice from Trinny
No.
No not really.
I remember seeing Trinny years ago at a shopping centre and it was very enjoyable.
Love Trinny, need advice on how to help reduce the look of my under eye bags with makeup.
yesss. I mean everyone does thier own thing, but I never liked bronzers on the face on anyone. Especially not so much
Love her Trinni’s energy, wish I saw her when she was at Bondi recently!
I would like to know what products she’s using.
I keep it simple and I don’t think that ages.
Totally but nice to get expert advice and a new look
If I only had the time
Love her paring back advice!
Probably not.
Her look does look fresh and natural. Nice.
Before this, I honestly did not know who this woman is or had heard of this brand.
I guess it’s on brand for Trinny. Not sure how I’d react to a friend telling me my look was dated, especially if she was selling me stuff from her own product line as part of the solution (seems a bit MLMish).
Depends how they tell you – I have a friend who tells you straight and I respect she is giving an honest opinion -I don’t have to agree though
I mean I do like my friends to let me know if I have lipstick on my teeth or if my fly is undone
That’s a really good point – I agree with you!
it’s all a publicity stunt
Hahaha I would think, how rude!
So very nice of Trinny to give Phoebe Burgess great advice on transforming her Look 👏👏👏👏👏
lol – with friends like that…
Not a fan of bronzers, they don’t suit my fair with yellow toned skin
I would so love to meet Trinny
so would I -I think she would be a lot of fun
Funny i put a little bronzer on today, just a little, and boy it looks awful on me,
Ha Ha you are probably over analyzing after reading this LOL
Phoebe always looks great.
Heavy doesn’t usually look good
I wear minimal makeup, but I’d love to take advice from someone who knows what they’re talking about.
Trinny always looks good, so I’d take her advice, too!
Not a fan of heavy bronzer
Not sure about that.
A lighter makeup look suits most people.
Her advice might have been a little self serving.
I totally agree
Not sure what I would ask but I would love her advice.
I have no idea who these two are.. but hope the new look works for her
What a perfect opportunity for Trinny to spruik her beauty prods lol
I much prefer a minimal makeup look these days
Would love makeup advice from Trinny
I recognise Trinny but I don’t know who the other one is.
I would LOVE her advice! I’d love to meet her and hear what she would have to say – constructively criticism is a blessing!
I always love hearing advice and trying new things and seeing what works for me
I would love Trinnys help
it looks healthy too
