A few
months ago, earlier this year, I fell in love with a foundation from the
Burberry Beauty line. The obsession began with
Burberry’s
Luminous Foundation (my shade is Trench #10), a beautifully seemless, sheer
foundation that is virtually weightless. That was just the beginning. I quickly
fell for
Burberry’s Sheer Eye Shadows.
These are the 3 new
Burberry Sheer Eye Shadow shades I picked up recently are from the Autumn/Winter Collection:
Gold Trench (a soft, warm, golden beige),
Mulberry (a beautiful dark burgundy/plum) and
Dark Sable (a rich coffe/chocolate brown).
These
shadows are smooth with a buttery texture that go on like silk. The shades have
staying power with or without a base and last for hours without creasing or
fading, maintaining a beautiful matte finish. I’ve worn these shadows over 8
hours (without a primer/base); 10 hours (with a primer/base) and did not have
any creasing, pooling or fading problems.
The Sheer
Eye Shadow formulation is easy to blend even though they’re highly pigmented.
They can be applied lightly for a sheer and neutral look or apply a bit heavier
for a more intense look. I found that because it’s a sheer formula, it’s not
overdone.
The packaging
design is a pretty metal finish with the Burberry logo that while beautiful, it’s
a magnet for fingerprints. It comes with pretty logo bag that helps wipe the
surface of any prints and keeps it clean when traveling. Size wise, the eye shadow
itself is a very generous size and in all, well proportioned to the rest of the
compact itself. The entire design is extremely high quality and feels good and
hefty – not flimsy- in your hands.
Important
to note: Burberry Beauty product are scented with a slight rose scent, but it’s
not overpowering, nor does it linger. The scent fades quickly after application.

These 3 beauties have found a home in my makeup bag along with
Burberry Sheer Eye Shadows: Rosewood and Midnight Brown. It's a real luxury: expertly packaged, beautiful shades that are highly pigmented, sheer and buttery textured, blendable formulations and generous shadow pans (2.5 g), all make the Burberry Beauty's Sheer Eye Shadow line one of the most luxurious to try.
