Midnight Brown is in between a warm and a cool brown with multicolored microshimmers running through it in the pan that translate into a beautiful silver sheen on the lids. What differentiates this eyeshadow from similar muddy browns by MAC, Urban Decay, etc is the sheerness with which it applies. If you apply it in layers, it can go from a super sheer hint of a shadow on your lids, to a dramatic smokey eye. I've been wearing this, blended over the lids with a big fluffy brush and on the lower lashline, with just mascara, no eyeliner. I stole the look from Tanya Burr; it makes me feel high fashion.
The packaging, of course, is gorgeous. Everything about this eyeshadow, from the embossed burberry check to the creamy texture is perfect. I highly recommend you check these out, they definitely live up to the hype!
Next on my list are Rosewood and Pale Barley. Any other recommendations?

It's so pretty - & I'm talking about on you and in the case! I have never used Burberry eye shadow, but I definitely want to go get some now! I'm sure they have lots of pretty colors :)

They have a selection of really beautiful neutrals! They seem like slightly boring, everyday colors - but they are definitely special
DeleteOne of my favorites! I agree, Burberry eyeshadows are AMAZING. I have Pale Barley and it's definitely a must-have! Rosewood has been on my wishlist for ages now but I haven't caved...yet. :)
ReplyDeleteAhh, pale barley and rosewood seem like they're on everybody's wish list! One day...
DeleteThis is so pretty on you! I've had Midnight Brown, Rosewood and Pale Barley on my wishlist for awhile now but I can't justify the price tag yet >.< I'm an eyeshadow hoarder and I have SO many similar shades that I will never use up :( What lip color are you wearing in this post? It's a really flattering nude shade for you!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I know, I wasn't even looking to buy a burberry eyeshadow but when i got a giftcard to nordstrom, that idea just popped into my head. I think I am wearing a combination of the body shop's lip liner in pink brown (one of my favs) and NYX circe.
DeleteI love when colours seem normal in the pot, but they turn into something special when you use them -- I feel that way about Chanel Blue Satin polish!
ReplyDeleteMy gosh this eyeshadow is stunning on you xx
ReplyDeletei love burberry eyeshadows! they're my favorite! I have this one, antique pink, pale rose, dark sable, almond, and the palette in pink taupe! I agree, i will only buy burberry shadows! :) YAY!
