BURBERRY Eye Color Silk [No.102 Pale Bali]

The quality of Burberry's single eyeshadows is definitely guaranteed. They have great application, no powder fallout, fine texture, and the quality is truly excellent. I have Tiro Rose, Rose Pink, Rosewood, and Pale Barley, and all four are great. I bought them because they are so well-known. When it comes to Burberry makeup, Pale Barley is the first thing that comes to mind... True to Burberry, it is very muted. It's a perfect beige-brown for adding depth, but it's muted. Plus, it has a subtle shimmer, so it's a really unique color. As someone with high-value autumnal muted tones, it suits me well. I strongly recommend Pale Barley and Rosewood, especially Rosewood, for those with muted tones who don't want intense shadows or ashy tones.

Since there are no stores in Korea, I can't test them. There used to be one in COEX, but they closed it in April... But I've also heard rumors that Burberry is getting out of the beauty business altogether, so I'm a bit worried.

Please order them online! There are quite a few direct purchase sites if you search. Some sites even offer free shipping to Korea if you spend a certain amount. I really hope Burberry beauty doesn't fail ㅠㅠㅠ I recommend Tiro Rose and Rosewood as eyeshadow colors for those with muted tones, especially if you don't suit intense colors. If you don't like ashy tones, I'd advise against it ㅠ

There are many glowing reviews, so I was curious and bought it. The reviews mentioned its distinctive color and texture, but in my experience, the color is certainly not common, but it's not a color that is completely absent from other brands either - if you look closely, you can occasionally find similar rare shades. It's a medium-toned warm brown, with a lot of gray undertones. But even though it's not a common color, combined with the pearlescent finish, this is really a shade that's hard to find. The pearl itself has almost no color and provides a calm, velvety sheen. The color payoff is almost identical to the swatches you can find by searching for 'Pale Vally', but the actual application is much more subtle than I expected. Personally, I was hoping for a more intense color payoff in one go, so I was a bit disappointed. In summary, it's a medium-toned warm gray-brown with a subtle color payoff and a calm, pearlescent finish. It evokes the image of an English aristocratic lady, just like the Burberry brand. And the texture, the texture is truly exceptional. I really want to acknowledge how exceptional the texture is. You'll be amazed if you rub it with your fingers. It feels like you're caressing not a cosmetic, but the silkiest velvet... That same texture glides so smoothly onto the eyelids, it's a whole new world. Fallout is relatively low, and the longevity is something I'm not sure about since I always use an eye primer, so I don't know how it would perform on its own.

It does seem a bit pricey. I bought it because it's such a famous product, but I'm not usually the type of person who readily buys single eyeshadows that cost over 10,000 won... Somehow, single eyeshadows feel a bit like a waste of money compared to 4-pan or 5-pan palettes. However, the quality is so good that I don't feel the money was a huge waste. I'd like to try out some other single eyeshadow shades from this brand as well.

I really like how the color payoff becomes more vibrant when I use a damp brush with this wet & dry product. In fact, you can use water with most eyeshadows, but this one is specifically labeled as wet & dry, and the sales associate even recommended trying it with a damp brush when I purchased it. I didn't have enough space to mention earlier, but this product also has a sturdy case with a built-in mirror and a tip brush, and it comes with a luxurious velvet pouch, similar to the miniature versions of blush products. However, unlike the blushes, the velvet pouch doesn't have the Burberry print when you flip it inside out. And as a single eyeshadow, the product seems to have a fairly generous amount of product.
