Burberry Bright Poppy (311) Lip Velvet Review, Photos, Swatches

Burberry Bright Poppy (311) Lip Velvet ($30.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a deepened, bold berry-red with a matte finish. MAC Heaux is similar, slightly brighter. Guerlain Liu is redder. MAC Rebel is slightly more berry-hued. MAC Lush Life is lighter. Guerlain Lou-Ling is slightly lighter. Burberry Bright Plum is a bit darker and redder. See comparison swatches.

It has semi-opaque color, but there’s a sheerness to it that you can tell by how my lip freckle comes through. The consistency is lightly creamy, so the lipstick applied evenly and smoothly without dragging along the lips, but it’s not too thick or heavy, and it doesn’t bleed or feather. It lasted for nearly seven hours and left a light stain behind, and it felt moderately hydrating while worn and for a couple of hours after it wore away. The finish on this isn’t quite as immaculate as other Lip Velvets, though, even if the lipstick is still quite good–it is inevitably not quite as impressive!

That colour is beautiful. I have been interested in this collection since the first little preview and I’m pretty sure I’ll be making my first Burberry purchases soon. Can’t wait to see how the Oxblood lip colours will look.

Ooh this is lovely! I recently got 2 Burberry lipsticks, Hawthorn Berry lip velvet and Deep Burgundy lip cover, I adore both! Hawthorn Berry lasts an extremely long time, I will have to look into Bright Poppy as well! The more I explore Burberry cosmetics, the more I fall in love with them, I can’t wait for the fall collection!

This is one of those colours that i would throw on without eye makeup for just a pop of colour.
Did you see that??? just talked myself into buying yet another red lipstick…..

I’m so glad you reviewed this. I bought it when it first came out, but had to return it. It was splotchy, dry, and did not apply smoothly at all. It made me not want to try other burberry lip products. But, if this shade didn’t perform as well as others, I might give it a go-especially when the fall colors come out. Also, thanks for the dupes because the color of this lipstick is gorgeous!

I love the color it appears in the tube, but as usual, it goes on *much* different. At least Burberry lets the consumer know what to expect with a specific shade name, and not some ambiguous pun, or random name.

Christine you look great, this color is very pretty on you 😀 . This would be too dark for me but I really want a Burberry product, yet again I´m tortured by this brand that we don´t have here, we only have perfumes…

This is very pretty, but the name is all wrong to me. Poppies are my favorite flowers and they make me think of bright orangey reds. Either way, this a beautiful fall color.
