New From Bourjois - Shimmering Shine Liquid EyeShadow


Bourjois have just released their new liquid eyeshadow 'Shimmering Shine', it is a waterbased product with pearlised pigments which are amplified to increase shine & brilliance. It is said to be a light, non sticky formula that will dry quickly without creasing, it also comes with a patented applicator to allow precise application.. I bought this product over the weekend as I was very impressed with the over all look & the results that were promised, unfortunately I wasn't so impressed after trying it out on Saturday night...
The applicator doesn't apply the colour as precisely as promised & I feel that a light brush would be far better instead, the colour doesn't go on as evenly as I would have liked either & it did crease slightly too. I re-applied it over a silver eyeshadow (I was using the grey/silver 35) & I found the effect was actually a lot better, it intensified the colour of the shadow & the shine looked very good, any slight uneven patches are disguised by the shadow underneath. I then used a light shimmer highlighter (powder) & blended upwards to keep everything even. In the end I was happy with the finished result but only after applying it over a shadow, I think if you were to use it on it's own the results may be a bit uneven but it does give added sparkle to your eyeshadow which is a lovely effect.
