BOURJOIS 'Little round pots'

I bought this gorgeous little pot of eyeshadow today. It's in the cutest vintage inspired round pot. I just had to share it with you all. For a limited time they will come in parisian inspired pots. "Bourjois has teamed up with the artist and illustrator Nathalie Lété to celebrate the brand’s Parisian heritage with the limited edition collection Rendez-vous à Paris. Each pot in this colourful, romantic and playful collection has its own unique design celebrating famous Parisian landmarks.

The collection, Rendez-vous à Paris, Bourjois celebrates the treasures of its birthplace, the source of inspiration for its collections and creativity. Paris is all about French romance and glamour; a city full of history and surprises, with its cutting-edge designers and unforgettable landscape. But most of all, Paris is a city of two passions – love and fashion." (Quoted from http://www.bourjois.com.au/) 

The 'Little round Pot" eyeshadow range as a wide variety of gorgeous colours to choose from. I picked up 08 'Beige Rose' a shimmery gold skin toned colour. The shimmer is soft, luminous and blendable.  Its a baked formula inside a cute little pot with intergrated mirror and applicator.

They have a huge range of colours, from the dark and sultry Noir Precieux (#07 black) to the gorgeously iridescent Blanc Diaphane (#90 Silver/ highlighter)

For an intense look you can apply it wet and reveal the full pearly and pigmented effect.

Little Round Pot comes in pearly, glittery, irridescent and matte effects.

1940's makeup

The 1940's makeup was based on 'Natural Beauties', with a little help of course! It was a soft feminine look and really the easiest to re-create.

The base was made up of a foundation 1 shade darker than the natural skin tone, then a powder applied over the top 1 shade lighter than the skin tone.

Rouge was applied in reds, fushia's and pinks all with pinky undertones. Apply to the apples of your cheeks and blend well.

The eye's were kept fairly neutral in tone, with a small amount of eyeliner applied to the top of the lids, remember to keep the line thin. The eyebrows were manicured to perfect arches, you can use a sharp pencil to define in either brown or black. Most importantly the eyelashes. Apply beautifully thick soft false lashes and then a brown or black mascara over the top for the old-Hollywood glamour look. The day time look the eyelashes were kept fairly natural.

the lips were kept full and soft, colours such as red's, crimson, mustards were popular. The top of the lip was slightly exaggerated.
