More than anything else, that was my biggest concern when I purchased Burberry’s Lip Velvet Lipstick in Pink Amber: the dryness. Their Lip Velvet line has a reputation, a somewhat infamous one, for being intensely matte. While many adore the bold, long-lasting colour payoff, the potential for dryness and accentuation of lip lines is a frequent point of discussion among beauty enthusiasts. This review will delve deep into my experience with Pink Amber, comparing it to other Burberry lip products and exploring whether this particular shade transcends the potential pitfalls of the formula.
Before we dive into the specifics of Pink Amber, let's establish a broader context within Burberry's extensive lipstick range. The brand offers a variety of finishes and textures, catering to diverse preferences. We have the creamy, hydrating comfort of the Burberry Kisses Hydrating Lip Colour, the sheer wash of colour provided by the Burberry Kisses Sheer Lipstick, and the bold, full-coverage of the Burberry Full Kisses Lipstick. Then there's the Burberry Kisses Matte Lipstick, offering a softer matte than the Lip Velvet line, and the intensely pigmented Burberry Kisses Lipstick 93, a popular shade known for its rich colour. Finally, we have the liquid lipstick category, dominated by the Burberry Liquid Lip Velvet. This line, particularly shades like Burberry Liquid Lip Velvet Oxblood, is known for its extreme longevity and intense, almost lacquer-like finish.
The Burberry Lip Velvet Lipstick, the family to which Pink Amber belongs, sits somewhere between these extremes. It aims for a bold, matte finish without the extreme drying effects often associated with fully liquid matte formulas. However, the balance is a delicate one, and the success of this balance is heavily dependent on individual lip conditions and preparation. This is where my initial apprehension stemmed from. Would Pink Amber live up to its promise of intense colour without compromising the comfort of my lips?
The colour itself, Pink Amber, is a beautifully nuanced shade. It’s not a straightforward pink; it possesses a complexity that makes it incredibly versatile. It’s a muted rose-brown, leaning slightly warmer than a classic dusty rose, with subtle amber undertones that add depth and prevent it from appearing flat or washed out. This makes it surprisingly flattering on a wide range of skin tones. On lighter complexions, it adds a touch of sophisticated warmth, while on deeper skin tones, it enhances the natural lip colour with a touch of elegant sophistication. It's the kind of shade that can be dressed up or down, equally suitable for a daytime office look or a glamorous evening out.
