While other makeup brands might be happy to maintain the status quo, Bourjois takes pride in innovating and creating makeup without compromising on comfort or aesthetics. This French brand isn’t just on-trend – it boasts over a century’s worth of research and experience in making women bold and beautiful.

Rouge Edition, s’il vous plaît!

This season, own the matte lippie trend with the Rouge Edition range that’s created with an exclusive formula to bring about a new era in matte lippies. Unlike traditional matte lipsticks that can feel like paint on the lips, Rouge Edition boasts a unique lightweight fluid texture that transforms into a velvety matte finish. Enriched with oils that hydrate and soften for long-lasting wear, it will feel as if you’re barely wearing anything on your lips. And with a wide selection of 25 shades to choose from, there’s a colour for every occasion.

Rouge Edition Velvet: For bold and bright matte colour

First launched in 2014, this cult product was the first hybrid formula of its kind. It combines the comfort and texture of a lip gloss but delivers the saturated and intense colour you want from a matte lippie. And with 17 shades, you’re really spoilt for choice. Best of all, it’s comfortable to wear all day, and lasts up to 24 hours. No flaky lips, or worse, faded colour, that’s for sure.
