Burberry Light Nude & Fawn Liquid Lip Velvets Reviews, Photos, Swatches
Light Nude (01)
Burberry Light Nude (01) Liquid Lip Velvet ($34.00 for 0.20 fl. oz.) is light peach with warm undertones and a cream finish. The consistency was smooth, more mousse-like so there was more body to the product but never felt heavy on the lips. This shade was one that I found more difficult to apply along the edges, possibly due to the paler base; it made me want to reach for a liner just to get a better edge. It had nearly opaque color coverage that applied evenly. The color wore well for five hours and was neither drying nor hydrating, but I had color pull into my lip lines after three and a half hours of wear.
The Liquid Lip Velvet formula is described as having “rich pigment, smooth application” and a “velvet finish that lasts up to eight hours” that is “non-drying.” Overall, the formula is fantastic for those who want the fluidity of a liquid product without the drying aspect of more traditional liquid lipsticks while not sacrificing wear time. The formula does not dry down completely, so there will be transfer, but the product is so pigmented that the color lasts awhile. I’ve found the colors to wear between six and eight hours and easily survive a solid meal. The liquid lipstick has a smooth, velvety consistency that is almost weightless (I forget I’m wearing it) that was never drying and always comfortable to wear. A pleasant surprise was that the formula was unscented (with no discernible taste either), which is not the norm with Burberry’s products.

Fawn (05)
Burberry Fawn (05) Liquid Lip Velvet ($34.00 for 0.20 fl. oz.) is deep plum with hints of rose and a subtle, warmer undertone paired with a cream finish. It had rich, opaque pigmentation that applied with even coverage. The consistency was mousse-like without being too thick or too thin, spread well, and felt ultra lightweight on. On me, the color wore well for seven hours and seemed almost hydrating overall.

Faaaaawn! <3
Yay!
Fawn is so lush ‘n plush looking! I love it! Light Nude, not so much. Only problem with Fawn is that I have MAC So Select, and likely some other similar shades lurking around in my stash.
You can skip Fawn 😉
I have dupes, but Fawn is pretty!
It is!
Light Nude is the shade that I’ve been looking for – how gorgeous!!
That’s great news!
Light nude is a shade that is often hard to get right, so this looks really good. No streakyness or patchiness- count me in!
It definitely is better than a lot of similar shades!
Fawn is beautiful.
It is!
I wish Fawn was a little bit cooler and darker…
I wish it wasn’t quite so white-based – too hard for me to wear myself!
I wish Fawn had a bit more depth.
I totally get what you mean, Erin!
