Burberry offers two highlighters in their regular range – N*de Radiance and Golden Radiance. I wanted to get my hands on “N*de Radiance” but it was out of stock, so I settled for Golden Radiance. This shade is quite unique and I don’t have anything similar to it in my collection.

Perfect for every day, the whisper-light formula also contains Rosa Canina fruit extracts to soothe.
My Experience with Burberry Fresh Glow Golden Radiance No. 02 Luminous Highlighting Powder:
Being a luxury brand, Burberry kills when it comes to packaging! With the beautiful gunmetal casing that comes in a black Burberry chequered velvet pouch. Even the metallic case and the product itself has the same Burberry checked design all over. It also comes with a skinny brush that’s almost as big as the compact. The name of the brand is mentioned at the front of the compact and the shade name is mentioned at the bottom of the case.
Golden Radiance is a dull golden highlight with bronze undertones, it is extremely frosty. In the pan, it looks dark, but on the skin, it looks lighter. The texture on Burberry Golden Radiance Powder is smooth ,soft and silky. Even being frosty, it is finely milled powder and goes on super smoothly on the cheeks. Golden Radiance is highly pigmented, so you need to have a light hand while applying.
It has a strong powdery floral scent to it and it disappears after application, but if you are someone who doesn’t prefer fragranced beauty products, then wouldn’t appeal to you.
The shade Golden Radiance will work beautifully for deeper skin tones. I have medium skin tone and I find it makes me look a bit tanned which I prefer in summers. This does emphasize my pores. I did test golden radiance on the eyes and it looks stunning.
It is quite blendable and gives you a beautiful luminous look. If you like natural highlight, this might not be for you. This powder stays on for 8 hours on me, which is quite a good wear time according to me because I don’t wear makeup for longer than that.

Would I Repurchase/Recommend Burberry Fresh Glow Golden Radiance No. 02 Luminous Highlighting Powder?
