Easy Make Up Tips from Bourjois

- Everyday style or evening glamor, the Parisian way

By: Monica Gaza, Life & Style Editor

For those of you who are not all too familiar with the French cosmetics company Bourjois, it's enough to state that it's one of the oldest of its kind, defining itself as a French expert in beauty that derives and defines most of its trends for the cutting edge of the fashionable world of entertainment. Bourjois has always managed to keep itself on the forefront of fashion and style – with a Parisian twist. For those of you seeking to add a little extra charm to their looks, here are two sets of basic make-up tips recommended by Bourgeois for two different, yet equally glamorous and ever-fresh looks –
one for daytime and one for the evening. They will give you the basic guidelines for creating a canvas on which to work, blending in your own particular choices with these classic principles for a fun, easy make-up session.

The Parisian "everyday look" blends demure nuances of nude beige and pink on your skin, eyelids and lips. Start by applying you usual tinted foundation in a nuance that's as close to the natural color of your skin as possible. Instead of your usual matte powder, apply one of the Bourjois signature radiant finishing powders that will leave your skin looking vibrant and fresh for the rest of the day. Don't forget to add a tiny bit of blush. For your eyelids, use a nude beige nuance all over your upper lid and all the way up to the brow bone, then blend in a soft pink eyeshadow on the upper lid and the crease of your eyes. Add two coats of black mascara. Finally, use a pink shade of lipstick and as a glamorous finishing touch, apply a coat of Bourjois lip plumper in nude pink for a plumped pout.

For the Hollywood evening glamor look, the main focus of your make-up session should be your eyes. Keep in mind that the dramatic eye make-up must be balanced by more natural shades on the cheeks and lips. Apply foundation and use a loose mineral face powder to set the foundation, then go for a natural, radiant shade of blush that's as close as possible to the shade of the lipstick you intend to wear. As for the eyes, start by applying metallic gray eyeshadow over the entire upper eyelid, then blend in a dark blue shade into the crease area for extra depth. Finally, use a wet fine tip brush to line the eyes with the same shade of dark blue eyeshadow you used on the crease and apply mascara. All you need now is an equally glamorous outfit and you're good to go.
