Burberry My Burberry Blush Palette Review, Photos, Swatches
My Burberry Blush
Burberry My Burberry Blush Palette ($68.00 for 0.17 oz.) is a soft, medium pink with warm undertones and a satin finish. It had nearly opaque pigmentation in one layer but was a more forgiving blush that could be diffused or used with a lighter hand for less coverage if desired. The gold in the background of the powder was just an overspray; all swatches were done after removing the overspray.
The formula is supposed to have a “soft-as-silk” texture that yields a “blendable powder formula [that] can be layered for custom intensity.” I would describe it as a fairly pigmented blush–medium to semi-opaque coverage if used with a light hand or feathery brush–that had a more forgiving texture, so it could easily be sheered out for less coverage or intensity. The finish became more luminous the more blended and diffused the powder was on the skin, but it never appeared noticeably shimmery so it never accentuated the skin’s natural texture. The texture was smooth, moderately dense, but I had no trouble picking up product with softer brushes (like SUQQU’s Cheek). On me, it wore well for eight and a half hours before fading slightly.

That embossing! How could anyone touch it?
With great satisfaction!!
Very natural looking flushed cheeks blush! Although, I don’t think it’s one I’ll chase down for myself, I definitely appreciate a shade like this to wear either with a look such as you have on with it, or with a red lip and pin-up style eye look.
Sephora didn’t list it as LE, and I think it is to celebrate/launch the “My Burberry Blush” perfume, but it’s always hard to know if something it is truly permanent or not.
Love the color/embossing/packaging, but the price! Aaacckkk!
I hear ya!
Now this looks like a real goodie – lovely shade and perfect rating.
It was a beauty!
My daughter was just looking at this blush last night and telling me how beautiful the embossing was. I hadn’t seen it until today. Absolutely stunning. If it was cheaper I would purchase two and keep one in pristine condition so that I could just stare at it all day. Alas, if I purchase two it will be one for me and one for my daughter.
Christine, in the past you have done questions around what is your favorite purple eye shadow or pink blush. Do you remember if you have ever done one regarding a blush to wear with a red lip, such as Ruby Woo? I just purchased my first tube of Ruby Woo and not sure what blush would compliment it. I have very pale skin with cool undertones. I would love to see what other Temptalia readers would recommend if you haven’t asked that question yet.
It is gorgeous but I don’t need this in my life, especially when it is $68 dollars.
Gorgeous! Just not sure why they call it a ‘palette’ lol. The embossing is stunning.
Overspray!!! Oversprays annoy me so much because either you test it at the counter and love the effect of the product blended with the overspray and then, after buying it and using it a few times, that overspray is gone and what you’re left with is something not quite the same. OR, if you do not like the overspray, you are trying to wear it away somehow and with a pricey product like this, that’s a fair bit of waste.
Burberry always puts out such gorgeous embossing on their cheek products. I love it! This color is really pretty too 😀
I’d rather have Radiant Magenta!
Beautiful shade and finish, and that embossing!
I don’t have very many shades like this, but I love this! It looks so pretty on the skin!
