Fashion & Beauty Week: Ballerine yourself with Bourjois!

The New Paris Ballerine range

In the first of our beauty features, Bourjois share some make up tips with us and show off some of their new range which will be available in a store near you Mid-April 2011.

In a very Black Swan-esque series, choose your character and make yourself over. This is a stunning set of pastels and they’re ideal for any occasion, day or night. With the addition of the bold black, you can bring out the ‘Black Swan’ in you.

Good or Bad? Who will you be?

Bourjois’ Make up Artist – Top Tips…

For a romantic smoky look for day and night.

Subtle romantic smoky eyes for daytime wear

• Apply Little Round Pot Eyeshadow in n°25 over the upper eyelid to create a subtly glimmering silver backdrop.

• Draw a thick line along the upper lashes with Effet Smoky Pencil in Sand rose concentrating on the inner corner of the eye. Smudge with the brush, blending with the glittery eyeshadow to create a delicate ash pink halo.


PARIS BALLERINE

Transform it into a rock ‘n’ roll evening version

• Start by choosing the Effet Smoky pencil shade that best enhances your eye colour: for light-coloured eyes use Ultra black, and if you have dark eyes, opt for New wave blue.
• Apply the pencil at the roots of the upper and lower lashes, concentrating on the outer corner of the eye and smudge using the brush, moving up to the eyelid and smudging the lower line.
• Then dab Little Round Pot Eyeshadow n°25 on the domed part of the upper eyelid and on the centre of the lower lash line to make your eyes sparkle with sophistication. Finish by applying Little Round Pot Eyeshadow n°5 to the inner corner of the eye and the eyebrow arch to give a touch of light.

This beautiful range will be available in stores from Mid-April.
