Burberry is definitely my new make up downfall. Not long ago it was Dior, but right now Burberry is just spot on with their products. Whilst having a makeup session with one of the beauty artists, she used this little beauty on me and I new right then that I had to buy it. I bought this in Nude Radiance No.01, as the second shade was too dark for my skin, even in summer it would still be too dark. It is a golden-shimmered light beige that gives more of a pearlescent sheen than a distinct shimmer/sparkle and its just stunning.

Burberry Fresh Glow Luminous Base comes with a similar packaging to their foundation. I am a fan of their packaging design and Fresh Glow is no exception. Remember, the cap covers a part of the bottle and giving the impression that it is tiny but what you see is just the half of the product. A pump dispenses the product so that it is easy to get the product out and it is hygienic.

It’s described as a “multiuse luminizer” that hydrates while illuminating. It’s a thin, liquid highlighter that can be used all-over the face, mixed with moisturiser or foundation, or patted on top of foundation for more targeted illumination. I find it is easiest to use mixed in with moisturiser or liquid foundation, and it will give your base a more luminous, dewy look that isn’t oily or wet. It is the type of product that I think translates better in-person than in a photo, as it livens up the skin and illuminates it without being flashy or obvious. I have definitely noticed I get a slightly smoother application of my base products as well as a subtle skin smoothing effect when using this.

Overall this is so lovely. I use it mainly as a liquid highlighter and so many people have commented on how much more healthy my skin looks because its got that beautiful glow to it. It does retail for £34, but it is 30ml and if you only use it as a highlighter like i do, its going to last you a super long time!
