CHANNEL EFFIE TRINKET WITH BOURJOIS’ SWEET PARIS COLLECTION

Go bold this spring by adding sorbet-colours to your makeup collection. With the popularity of The Hunger Games movie setting trends in fashion and beauty – especially Effie Trinket’s fun, flamboyant hair and makeup –  you can also have fun without going over the top. 

Bourjois Paris’s new Sweet Paris collection is all about indulging your inner flirt. Inspired by the world of patisseries, macaroons and other sweet treats, the collection focuses on pastel pinks, corals and aniseed green in order to create a soft, yet playful look. What’s even better is that they’re all paraben and fragrance free and have mineral pigments. And there’s no better time than now to channel Effie’s style and look trendy doing it!

Little Round Pot Eyeshadow in 01 Anis and 05 Rose Dragee. Apply 05 over the entire lid to create a subtle pink base, then place 01 on the inner corner of the eyelid and finish with a sweep of Volume Glamour Mascara. These shadows are luscious and silky and easily glide on lids.

Pro tip: While adding Blush #95 Rose de Jaspe for sweet cheeks, apply the blush under the brow bone, blending from the outer corner inwards. This will give the eyes a more vibrant effect.

Rose Exclusif Lipgloss in Rose Hypnotic self adjusts and changes according the the pH of the lips. It then morfs into your perfect shade of pink to compliment your skin tone. It’s super cool and adds 3-D shine. There’s also another shade in coral.

Who doesn’t want candy-coated nails this spring/summer? Bourjois 10 Days Nail Enamel in 25, pastel coral and 26, pinky mauve, combines an anti-chipping formula with pro-silicium to give them strength. I personally love to wear these shades together. Try brushing one colour on half of your nails and fill in with the either. Tres chic!
