I have long held that Burberry Beauty makes superior quality products, and their eye shadows have been among my favorites since I began using them years ago. My latest Burberry eye shadow acquisition, Burberry Eye Colour Wet & Dry Glow Shadow in Nude No. 002, has proven to be my favorite shadow from the line.

Burberry Eye Colour Wet & Dry Glow Shadow in Nude No. 002 ($29.00 from Burberry, Sephora, Nordstrom, Saks Fifth Avenue and Net-A-Porter): Nude No. 002 is, in my estimation, the perfect shade of cool-toned taupe with a gorgeous luminosity and sheen. The formula is ultra-finely milled, it feels creamy to the touch, and it glides across the skin effortlessly as it deposits color evenly. It is long-wearing, and for me doesn't even require a primer for all-day wear. However, if you have particularly oily eyelids, I would recommend the use of a primer. It can be worn wet, or dry, but my personal preference is dry since I don't feel to amplify the luminosity by creating a foiled effect. If, however, you seek a more pronounced metallic effect, then applying Nude No. 002 with a damp brush delivers a  gorgeous and dramatic metallic sheen.

According to Burberry Beauty,

A highly blendable powder eye shadow that gives an effortless wash of luminous, highlighting color.  This lightweight, talc-free powder shadow blends highly pigmented color with light-reflecting particles. The smooth texture gently glides onto the lid for an even application and delivers an effortless wash of luminous, highlighting color. The versatile formula gives multiple results: apply it with a dry brush for an even wash of color or wet for vibrant intensity. Wear alone or mix and match with Eye Colour Wet & Dry Silk Shadow.

Isn't this the perfect shade of cool-toned taupe ?!

Burberry Eye Colour Wet & Dry Silk Shadow in Midnight Brown, Burberry Eye Colour Wet & Dry Silk Shadow in Pale Barley and Burberry Eye Colour Wet & Dry Glow Shadow in Nude No. 002 I own all three, but my Midnight Brown and Pale Barley are the original formula. If I could own only one, I would select Nude No. 002. Nude No. 002 differs from Midnight Brown and Pale Barley because it is from Burberry's Glow Shadow formula, whereas the other two are from the Silk Shadow formula. I personally am very drawn to Nude No. 002 because I think it is a perfect shade of taupe with a stunning luminosity and sheen. If I had to pick one, it would be Nude No. 002, but Midnight Brown and Pale Barley remain gorgeous staples in my eye shadow wardrobe.
