Burberry Sheer Eyeshadow No 21 Midnight Brown

I can pinpoint the exact moment that I fell for Burberry's Sheer Eyeshadow #21, Midnight Brown.  It was this photo from The Beauty Look Book and her to-die-for swatches. Since I don't happen to live in CA, mine aren't as lovely. Still, I'll set this off with my own sunshine photo:

Isn't it lovely?  This was actually the second Burberry shadow that I purchased, way back at the end of February.

One of the things I find so amazing and hypnotic about this shade is the shimmer.  This is grown-up sparkle at its best.

Like all of Burberry's sheer eyeshadows, I get a full day's worth of wear with primer, with little fall-out.  Although this stunner is amazing on its own, I've been using it with Almond and Pale Barley.

Here are some swatches:

I find the inside, with flash to be the most realistic.


Like the others, I pulled a few comparison shades to swatch:

Midnight Brown is unique in my expansive brown collection. Texture-wise, it's buttery and easily blendable. This is one of the stand-out products from Burberry beauty, in my opinion. It's a shade that everyone should own.
