Bourjois Paris Smokey Eyes Trio Eyeshadow Review

RATING – 6 OUT OF 10

Very recently i did a super mini haul which included a few Bourjois items and then a Deborah foundation, and of course 2 H2O+ skincare stuffs too. So i will be reviewing them one by one soon. Lets start today with the Bourjois Paris Smokey Eyes Trio Eyeshadow Palette review. I got the trio shade number 5, Rose Vintage. These Bourjois trios come in 10 different shades.

The Bourjois Paris Smokey Eyes Trio Eyeshadow costs INR 700. This is a baked formulae of Bourjois cosmetics. The pressed eyeshadows look amazing as i surf through the shopping sites. I always wanted to buy all the trios of Bourjois but then i thought of bagging only 1 palette at first, if it works out, then shall try to buy a few more – was what i thought initially!

Baked formula eyeshadows do have a big drawback and that is the pigmentation is poor. However, this eyeshadow gives a decent color payoff. I would recommend one to use a sponge tip applicator instead of an eyeshadow brush to apply these shadows, as then it is easier to pack the shadow on the eyelids. The texture of Bourjois Paris Smokey Eyes Trio Eyeshadow is soft and satin like and is blendable but then you need to pile on loads of color to get nice pigmentation.

Rose Vintage has got 3 shades of pink. So i guess its cool that you are getting 3 Bourjois eyeshadows in a set. Other shades are perfect to create smokey eyes as i could make out from the swatches and pictures available on the internet. Bourjois Paris Smokey Eyes Trio Eyeshadow comes in a plastic container with a transparent top lid. Also a dual-ended sponge tip applicator is provided inside the set.

So, lastly i would say considering the price of the eyeshadow trios, the product is simply an okay and in fact i wont be purchasing any other Bourjois trios as i am not at all happy with the color payoff. No exceptional positive points are there in Bourjois Paris Smokey Eyes Trio Eyeshadow which would make it stand out from the rest of the brands.
