With a rise in the popularity of liquid lipsticks, it’s quickly become one of the most sought-after products.Regardless of your preference (sheer, matte or glossy), there’s something for everyone, thanks to the multitude of choices available in the market. However, it can be challenging to find that dream liquid lipstick that combines versatile coverage, velvety texture and ultra-comfort wear.

Burberry’s latest Liquid Lip Velvet is formulated with super fine pigments suspended in an airy texture. This means that not only is it lightweight, it is also very blendable and versatile. Here, Burberry Makeup Artistic Consultant, Wendy Rowe, shares her application tips so you can be your very own makeup pro.
“If there’s a perfect nude shade for just about skin tone, I’d recommend the Burberry Liquid Lip Velvet in Fawn Rose (No.09). I used it on all the models backstage at the Burberry show in September and it worked well on them.”
“I would recommend applying two coats to achievea bold, statement look.”
“You don’t need to define the lips when using Burberry Liquid Lip Velvet, but you can do if you want to. It really depends on the look you want to create; there are lots of looks to choose from and you might want to use a lip definer if you are creating a more precise statement lip.”
“If you are creating a statement lip look, then using a brush will help you achieve a more precise finish.”
“You can create a modern ombre lip look using Burberry Liquid Lip Velvet. Line the lips with Lip Definer first and apply a matching shade of Liquid Lip Velvet all over the lips. Take a slightly lighter shade and apply it just into the centre of the lips. Then, using a brush, blend it out towards the edges of the lips for a subtle ombre effect.”
