Dusty Pink (406)

Burberry Dusty Pink (406) Lip Velvet Lipstick ($35.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a soft, medium pink with warm undertones and a satin finish. It had good color coverage, though it was a touch shy of being opaque, that applied evenly. The consistency glided on without tugging on my lips, but it seemed to “split” at my lip lines and look “cracked” (despite not being the type of lipstick that dries down completely!). This shade wore well for four hours and was non-drying.

The formula is described as a “bold, full coverage” lipstick with a “creamy, soft-matte finish” that is “non-drying” and “comfortable.” The lipstick formula has a very velvety consistency–waxier than a traditional cream, as it was thinner but never dragged on the lips–with good pigmentation that typically applied evenly. The one issue I experienced with most of the shades I tried (only six) was there was some color that had settled into my lip lines noticeably, whether shortly after applying or as the color wore. Most shades lasted four hours with some that lasted for six hours, and the formula was comfortable and non-drying.

Nude (407)

Burberry Nude (407) Lip Velvet Lipstick ($35.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a medium, rosy brown with warm undertones and a satin finish. The pigmentation was nearly opaque, so just a smidgen of my lip freckle was still visible. The texture was lightweight, thin without being clingy, and velvety as it applied smoothly. It was more forgiving on the lips with respect to my lip lines than Dusty Pink, though there was a bit of color that settled into my deeper lip lines. The color lasted for four and a half hours and was non-drying.

Dark Nude (408)

Burberry Dark Nude (408) Lip Velvet Lipstick ($35.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a dark, reddish plum with subtle, warm undertones and a semi-matte finish. It had good color coverage that applied evenly and smoothly on the lips. The formula was lightweight, velvety, comfortable to wear, and non-drying. The texture was thin, so it did not slide or slip easily on my lips, but it wasn’t clingy. This shade stayed on well for six hours and was non-drying.

It would actually be a nude shade on a friend of mine – she has a very tan skin tone, and her hips (which are naturally redder) look even darker as a result.

I’m a pale person, so Dark Nude would be red on me – still gorgeous. Might be worth looking into since I love the formula.

No I haven’t! The only Burberry lipstick I own is from the ‘Kisses’ line. It’s one of my favourites though. I love a satin finish, so I’m eager to try this one out!
