Silver Shimmer

Burberry Silver Shimmer Illuminating Powder ($68.00 for 0.10 oz.) is a cool, grayish white base with warmer, golden shimmer, which yielded a more frosted sheen. The texture gave a noticeable sheen to the skin without emphasizing my skin’s natural texture.

It’s supposed to have “buildable, luminous color.” It had semi-opaque pigmentation, which was buildable to full coverage, and with a soft, silky texture, it was easy to apply less or more with a brush to adjust the coverage level. The powder was easy to apply and to blend out, which made it effortless in practice. This shade stayed on well for eight and a half hours on me.

Metallic Pearl No. 1

Burberry Metallic Pearl No. 1 Illuminating Drops ($35.00 for 0.50 oz.) is a pale, white gold with a nearly translucent base and fine, gold pearl. It’s supposed to have a “blendable” and “buildable” texture with that can be used for “subtle shine” on “high points of the face.” However, it’s also a “concentrated formula” with “concentrated pigments for a customisable glow.”

It’s a subtle, liquid-based highlighter that has a very smooth, watery, gel-like texture that is easy to pat on with fingertips or a sponge for even coverage that did not disturb base products. The coverage was semi-sheer, while the brand’s description of the formula said “buildable texture” and “concentrated pigments,” which suggests buildable with respect to the level of shine/shimmer but not necessarily the color itself. I think if you like sheerer highlighters, you’ll enjoy it, but if you wanted something more pigmented, you’ll find this missing coverage. On me, it lasted for eight hours.
