Burberry's Liquid Lip Velvet has quickly become a cult favourite amongst makeup enthusiasts, lauded for its purportedly rich pigment, smooth application, and long-lasting wear. Promising a "velvet finish that lasts up to eight hours" without the drying sensation often associated with liquid lipsticks, it's a formula that has generated considerable buzz. But does it live up to the hype? This in-depth review, complete with swatches, aims to answer that very question, exploring the formula's performance across various shades and offering a comprehensive look at this luxurious lip product.
Burberry Liquid Lip Velvet: A Formula Under the Microscope
The brand describes the Liquid Lip Velvet formula as possessing "rich pigment, smooth application," and a "velvet finish that lasts up to eight hours." This trifecta of desirable qualities – intense colour payoff, comfortable texture, and impressive longevity – is the cornerstone of its appeal. The claim of a non-drying formula is particularly enticing, given the often-criticized dryness associated with many long-lasting liquid lipsticks.
In my experience, the formula largely delivers on its promises. The pigmentation is indeed rich and intense, requiring only one or two swipes for full coverage. The applicator, a doe-foot wand with a slightly tapered tip, allows for precise application, making it easy to define the lip line and fill in the colour evenly. The texture is surprisingly smooth and creamy, gliding effortlessly onto the lips without tugging or pulling. This smooth application contributes to the overall comfortable feel, a significant factor in the formula's success.
The "velvet finish" is aptly named. It's not a completely matte finish, possessing a subtle, almost imperceptible sheen that prevents it from looking flat or overly drying. This slight luminosity adds a touch of sophistication, preventing the look from being overly harsh. The claim of eight-hour wear is, however, slightly optimistic. While the colour does last for a considerable amount of time, it does fade with eating and drinking, requiring touch-ups after a few hours of wear. However, this fading is relatively gradual and even, leaving a subtle stain behind even after significant wear.
The non-drying claim is, for the most part, accurate. While it's not as hydrating as a lip balm, it certainly doesn't leave lips feeling parched or cracked, even after several hours of wear. This is a significant advantage over many other long-lasting liquid lipsticks that can be incredibly drying. Preparing lips with a lip balm beforehand further enhances the comfort and longevity of the product.
