New Makeup New Look
I have been looking for a good contour/bronzing powder for the longest time and you all know that my all time favourite is the Soleil Tan de Chanel but I'm running low on this one plus I think it is just a tad too warm for contouring my face. I was actually very interested in the Kevin Aucoin Sculpting Powder in Medium which is the most popular product for contouring but I looked at some swatches online and to be honest with you it is too cool for my skin tone so I went for this beauty - Light Glow Natural Blush in 07 Earthy by Burberry. Ohh lord how could I just found out about this one now? Where have I been? I mean I've heard a lot of raves but was never really interested cuz it just looked kinda boring in the pan. Well let me tell you something guys. Now I've tried it, don't think I would ever look back. It is as good as everyone says if not better.
(Can we all take a moment here and appreciate how Burberry package the product? Absolutely gorgeous!)
I'm gonna get straight to the PROS here as ain't nobody have time to read long boring paragraphs right?!!!
- It is buttery smooth as you would expect from such an high-end product.
- It is pigmented but not to the point that it dispenses too much product on the face in one go.
- The colour is just right for either contouring or warming up the complexion.
- Such a multi purpose powder which can be used as a natural blusher, a bronzer, a beautiful contour product as well as an natural eyeshadow.
- It lasts on me really well throughout the day but if I go out in the evening I will reapply as it does fade a little.
- Ohh and don't even get me started on the stunning packaging!
Well if I have to... Here are the CONS:
- It's not the cheapest let's be honest. 37 Euros for 7g (.24Oz) of product, but it does have a long shelve life of 3 years after opening which is pretty cool.
- It contains parabens as well as fragrance so not " ideal" for those who are after "natural" products.
I have a little comparison situation going on here for ya in case you wanna know what it really looks like.

As you can see Burberry earthy blush is this taupe colour, not too warm nor too cool, it is without a doubt, the most natural one in the bunch and the tone is just absolutely perfect for contouring which is the main reason why I bought it.

I say if you wanna splurge on one high-end product, get this one because it is so natural, so pretty and with so many different uses, definitely worth the money!
(as an eyeshadow, very natural and sophisticated)
There you have it. I hope this is helpful. I highly recommend this product because it is so multi functional and my face just looks so put-together, looks like I've done some serious work but really not. Easy to use and blendable. That's it guys, thank you so much for reading and have a loverly day beauties!
(Finished look, this is my day to day makeup look now, I just think it is so natural, effortless yet put-together. Feel free to use your favourite mascara, I tend to skip it on a daily basis.)
What's your favourite contour/bronzing product?
