Sensitive eyes have a new best friend!

I had the pleasure of a sneak preview of the new formula Bourjois little round pot eye shadows and they are fab! The history of Bourjois is fascinating... they have had a unique baked formula for over 150 years and it still remains a guarded secret today.

The Bourjois pots are in every make up artists kit and this new release is another must have. The colours are great and come in 22 shades. They can be used wet for added intensity and extra staying power. Best of all they are hypo-allergenic, fragrance and paraben-free so they are ideal for sensitive eyes.

As always the texture is super silky and they glide over the skin and need minimal blending. I am a huge fan of these anyway but the new formula has just topped what was already a fantastic shadow.

If you haven't tried them wet, do. Dip your brush into a little water, wiping off any excess and swirl into your colour. Apply as you would normally but keep edges neat or dab your finger over any lines to blend.
Contrast the colour with a few coats of mascara and for extra definition line the inner rim of your eye with black kohl.
