Burberry Russet Blush (Look breakdown here)
Burberry Still Has It
Burberry Russet (01) Blush ($42.00 for 0.24 oz.) is a softened rust-brown. When blended out, it’s just a hint of red-toned brown, but it can be layered on for a deeper shade that looks most rust-like. On my cheeks, it looks like a bronzer with a lil’ kick to it–not quite a flat or shimmering brown or bronze, but it gives my cheeks more warmth and dimension. I like the soft, finely-milled feel of the powder, and it applies smoothly without looking powdery. Burberry’s blushes look incredibly natural on skin, and they’re easy to sheer out or build up for a stronger cheek (but never an ultra intense cheek).
It’s packaged in a hefty gunmetal compact with a soft, bristled brush that actually works (though I’ll still stick with my regular brushes) and doesn’t feel scratchy against the skin. Burberry’s signature check pattern covers the front of the compact, and the logo is on the side. This blush comes with a good amount of product–around 30% more than your average high-end blush compact, actually!

LOL! Win!
What a gorgeous look all over. Love this blush too. It is so flattering. I must admit, I always apply blush with a very light hand since I'm forever worried I might end up looking "clownish". This is totally beautiful.
Thank you, Hilana! :)
So gorgeous on you! Everything Burberry throws out is to die for!

It looks nice, but a typical colour.
The swatch looks like the MAC's Stereo Rose...maybe it is just me.

Hi Christine, was wondering will u be reviewing the last colour in e burberrry blusher range??
I don't have any other blushes to review at this time, sorry!
I love this whole look on you.
Thank you, Diana!
I tried on Blossom last time I was at the Burberry counter. I LOVE it. It has great buildable pigment. Again, I am pleasantly surprised on how much I love this line. I'm not even a real big fan of the Burberry fashion/accessories line itself.
There is something about Burberry's shoes... I don't know. But I die for them! LOL.
I <3 Burberry!
Ugh, me too. They can do no wrong.
Wow, this look's super awesome on you. I love it. I wouldn't have thought it would turn out that way, it looks more like a sheer color in the box.
Thank you, Kat!
Ahh what a pretty color! I bet it'd look great with a nude lip, too. :) Thanks, Christine!
Sure thing, Kristi!
I LOVE This whole look! So classy and old Hollywood!
Thanks, Ginna!
Beautiful blush! I was wondering if u have ever tried bangs in ur hair?? I think it would look all good on u. Sorry for the random question. Just wondering.
I have - I just can't keep up with the trims!
Christine, you look GORGEOUS in this photo! I mean, you always do (I also really liked the natural face makeup too), but the red lips are killer!
Aw, thank you, Teena Marie :)
