Burberry Bright Crimson Liquid Lip Velvet Review & Swatches

Burberry Bright Crimson is a slightly warm-toned, medium-dark coral with a satin finish. It is a permanent lipstick that retails for $34.00 and contains 0.2 oz.

Burberry Bright Crimson Liquid Lip Velvet ($34.00 for 0.20 fl. oz.) is a bright, medium pink-coral with warm undertones and a satin finish. It had rich, opaque pigmentation with a smooth, cream-mousse hybrid consistency that was easy to spread across the lips. Initially, it seemed more white-based and almost chalky, but after a few minutes, it seemed to transform and looked smooth, even, and lush on the lips. The color wore well for six and a half hours, left a stain behind, and was neither drying nor hydrating.

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.
