Burberry Almond (06) Eyeshadow
Burberry Almond (06) Eyeshadow ($29.00 for 0.088 oz.) is a soft, medium brown with just a touch of warmer, more golden undertones, but very subtly so. This would make a great contouring shade for those with fairer, paler skin, and it would work well as an all over color on medium to medium-dark skin tones. It pairs well with Trench for a quick neutral eye.
The texture is soft and smooth–buttery and feels like silk. It adheres well to the lid, over a base or without, though I haven’t worn it sans a base for twelve hours or anything (I always prefer a base–it feels like I’m committing a cardinal sin otherwise!). It’s pigmented but it’s a buildable shade–you can sheer it out with ease for a very soft look or apply in layers for something deeper. Burberry eyeshadows uncomplicate makeup; it’s hard to go wrong if you use their shadows. I also like the amount you get for the price tag; a little more than the usual high-end shadow.

how does this compare to mac soft brown?
Soft Brown is much, much warmer with red undertones.
It’s more like Soba I imagine, right?
Or maybe Wedge!
Is there any word on when Burberry will be expanding its distribution in Nordstroms? It’s only available in six locations.
Not yet, but I imagine if the line is successful enough (and from both my personal experience with the quality and the overall buzz online), I think it eventually will be.
I hope it is! The products look wonderful, but I don’t buy without seeing in person, especially not such high-end brands. Hope it comes near me so I can check it out and judge for myself 🙂
I totally understand! 🙂 It was painful buying a bunch of Burberry stuff without seeing it in person!
If you purchase any more Burberry shades in the future, can you do more swatches? 😀 & possibly MAC dupes? Do you know what would be a mac dupe for this particular shade?
I definitely will! Maybe Wedge!
this color looks so boring
Hi! I was wondering whether you think this is a good dupe for Urban Decay Buck (in the Naked palette). I’ve heard that MAC Wedge (which I know you mentioned in these comments) might be a good one, but I’m not really a MAC person and I am anxious for an excuse to try the Burberry eyeshadow. Thanks!
It is a bit more taupe!
