Burberry Beauty Autumn 2014 Slate Blue Palette

I’ve got to admit that I was a little disappointed when I first saw the Burberry Beauty Autumn 2014 Slate Blue Palette – blue is really hard to wear for any shade eyes or tone without it all going a bit 1980s. However, once I’d swatched it, I completely changed my mind!

There’s enough grey and lavender in these shades to make it very interesting indeed – a far cry from the throwback I had in mind! The shades are naturally smoky so it’s one easy smoky eye – I’d still want to pile loads of black liner over it, but an easier smoky eye look I can’t think of. As you can see, there is a little fall out – I used the sponge applicator for the swatches (one swipe, so they’re beautifully pigmented) but the palette also comes with two other brushes. Generally, applicators that come with palettes are a last choice, but actually, I think the Burberry ones are pretty good.

Although I still don’t love the Burberry polish formula (takes forever to dry), they’ve got some very enticing shades for Autumn. These polishes had an early release in March as a set (above) but now they’re available individually. The one that’s everyone is mad for is Oxblood; a deep red. They’re £15 each and the set is £90.

  1. I’m so on the fence with blue/blue palette eye shadows. I have blue/grey/green (just yuk) eyes, and I’ve always thought that blue shadows were a no-no. Too blue and my eyes look green (too green and my eyes look blue!). But, a number of make-up artist UTube tutorials and videos told me that no matter what the colour of your eyes, you can wear any colour. It’s just that some colours make your eyes ‘pop’ more than others. It all depends on the look or effect you want to create. Apparently! This was good news for me, because I was getting utterly bored with plums and browns and taupes and nudes. H-o-w-e-v-e-r…whilst I remain a little unconvinced that I can, actually, wear blue eye shadows, I think if they have a grey/mauvey tinge to them and are infinitely blendable, they could work. The ones above look fabulous swatched on your arm. I’d say I’m more olivey, yellow-toned than you, which could change their colour a bit. They also look more matte than shimmery. I really do love the colours

    Wow the packaging of that palette looks quite cheap.

    This looks a totally gorgeous palette and it is just right for those tired of neutrals all the time. Very pretty.
