Bourjois Silk Edition Poudre Compacte ~ Compact Powder (2014) {New Beauty Product - Skin - Cheeks}

Bourjois_silk_edition_compact_powder.jpg Bourjois have introduced a new compact powder called Silk Edition which promises to be an advance in the technology of soft-focus face powders...

What the brand say, in French, and then see further down for our translation into English,

Douce comme de la soie, fondante comme de la crème, sa texture glisse comme une caresse et se fond sur la peau pour un confort ultime, sensation peau nue. Enrichie en poudres cristallines, elle unifie et matifie le teint pendant 8 heures tout en préservant l'éclat de la peau.

----

As soft as silk and melting like a cream, its texture glides like a caress melting on the skin to create an impression of ultimate confort together with a sensation of nude skin. Enriched in crystalline powders, it unifies and matifies the complexion during 8 hours, while preserving the radiance of the skin.

silk_edition_compact.jpg The new compact powder is available in 7 shades. During the winter, I'm personally always trying to find a powder that's light enough so the Porcelaine option looks good. The maximum in shade intensity is Hâlé which is really cutting off a lot of people with darker complexions. When I see the number of women at beauty counters with more ebony-like complexions, it just doesn't make sense, especially for a wide-appeal brand like Bourjois.

The compact offers the option of a 360 degrees rotating mirror and looks pretty sleek.

MSRP: 14,95€
