Review: Bourjois Liquid Eyeshadow
By marlena • Aug 2nd, 2008 • Category: Articles & ReviewsSince I consider myself to be a full-on eyeshadow junkie, I thought I had swatched, tested, and worn just about every type of eyeshadow out there. That is, until I found these liquid eyeshadows by Bourjois!
These liquid eyeshadows are like pearly liquid diamonds for your eyes! They glide on smoothly, are easy to apply, and have the best staying power I have ever seen. I wore the pink colored one and fell asleep with it on (yes it is bad, I know), but when I woke up the next morning, the eyeshadow was still on while my MAC Carbon had faded away.
Although they have amazing staying power, they are still easy to get off with warm water or makeup remover. These shadows cost $16, but you can get them through Amazon for $11.20. I highly recommend, and will definitely be using these more in the future!
I love watching your videos. You are AWESOME. I want to be a makeup artist so bad. I have been using one kind of makeup for the past 2 and a half years,then I seen your videos on you tube & I was like where have I been . I love the videos of the nyx. I’m a bare escentuals addict but I think I’m going to try the nyx brand because they have really pretty colors. But anyway I dont want to ramble on & take up your time I just wanted to let you know that you rock and you are truly an inspiration to me to pursue my career in the beauty industry. I have been a makeup junkie since I was a little girl. So thanks for this awesome website and opening my eyes to different brands. You truly are an amazing makeup artist.
thank you for showing us that new product !!!! Bourgeois is very famous in france because it’s not as expensive as MAC or MUFE or UD makeup maybe it’s the équivalent of L’Oreal Hip that we can’t find here).
Till now it wasn’t as good as professional products but the colors are always gorgeous ! I’m happy to know that those liquid eye shadows are great and I’ll look after them in my supermarket today.
You’re a very generous person Marlena, everything you’re sharing with us is terrific !
Thanks to you I’m really having fun doing my makeup everymorning (yesterday I’ve made the gold and black look, it was just fantastic)
Thanks again !
I have to agree with Marion (and it’s not just because I’m french, too…) You are incredibly generous and talented, so I guess all the love is just very well deserved!
I extremely rarely leave comments on blogs (although, and that’s funny, I happen to read Marion’s blog, too, and I really like it), but yours is just absolutely incredible. I’ve always loved make up, but reading you made me realise how little fun and technique I had until now… Now I really enjoy my make up to the fullest and it’s a blast! I bought so many things since I started reading you, and everything was absolutely worth it.
And it gives me an extra boost in the morning when I see there’s a new video up!
Well, just like Marion, I guess I’ll have to go and check that eyeshadow today… the pink one lookss like something I could really love….
Thanks again so much for the inspiration…
And have a very nice day
Wow Marlena, you’re definitely an international star!
I’m also french (that’s the day for french girls, it seems!), and I also have to thank you for helping me go through bad days with great make up tips, techniques and ideas. I have been sick and the treatment made me lost my eyebrows and lashes, and watching and learning from you has really helped me go through all this without people telling me all day long that I looked sick (I had to learn from someone else how to put on false eyelashes, though!). I actually had people telling me I looked great, and it was a relief in all this!
So really, thank you again for this website, and please keep up the good work!!
Big hugs from France!! (if you need something from here, just send me an email, I’ll be glad to help!!)

Hi Marlena!! I’ve been watching you for a while now and really enjoy your videos. I found these a while back, in my quest for liquid eyeshadow that stays and much to my suprise not only did these stay until you took it off, but the color also stayed true!! LOVE! I hope you can do this professionally also! What a great fun dream job that would be!! I look forward to your tutorials everyday! Keep up the wonderful, beautiful work!!
hey marlena those colors are great….just curious to know what eyeshadows your wearing? i love all ur looks!!!!!!!!
What a fabulous look !!! I really love it.
I hope that I can find the liquid eye shadow over here in Belgium, because I just bought the Mineralize “Pink Split” eye shadow from Mac today. And I think that they will be great together.
Marlena you really rock. Thank you for eveything, I already learn so much from you.
A big hug from Belgium.
Marlena,
Wow, first of all I love your makeup in this video, it’s beautiful! Second, thanks for sharing those swatches of the Bourjois liquid shadows, there are so many products, sometimes you don’t even know what you are missing out on. And last but not least, I just had to tell you how much I enjoy watching your videos, reviews and hauls. I always look forward to learning from you, it’s always exciting to see what new looks you have or new information you have to share. My dream has always been to be a makeup artist, but a regular office job is all I’ve ever had. I feel alot more inspired now that I have been watching such great talent. It’s made me much more knowledgable and my make up looks better than ever. Thank you! I may not know you personally, but I do admire your talent and the time you put out of your own life to share all this with so many people. Thanks!!
I really can’t wait ’till they arrive in my country too!
When they’re here, i buy them all immidiately!!
Hi All !!

i just saw these on sephora.com for $8, so if you want to get these really cool eyeshadows check them out there
Hi, a friend of mine sent my your website and i fell in love wiht it :)…You are so talented. I was wondering where on internet i can by the Bourjois Liquid Eyeshadow. I live in Sweden and we dont have that eyeshadow here :(..so pleaseee update me on that
Heya. Just wanted to say that i love liquid eyeshadows as they stay on so amazingly. Also, i love your tutorials. I went on youtube a while back and was trying to get some make-up tips, and came across your vids and love the way you do your vids. They’re awesome.
You can get three of them for $32 at qvc.com
The three you get are beige, brun and gris.
Hi Marlena,
I am a NC35-NC40 and I just bought the liquid eyeshadows in beige metallique and blanc chrome…I was having a really tough time deciding between blanc chrome and rose electron…which one do you think would look nicer on me? I am thinking about exchanging the blanc chrome for rose electron..hmm
Go for the Rose Electron. It is soooo beautiful. I just had to buy another.
I actually love the Blanc Chrome because it has hint of pink and gold.
They do look beautiful applied together. You can streak one color and
then the other next to it and blend the two. Has anyone tried the one in
Brun? Is it a pretty brown?
I forgot to mention that you can apply the formula with a concealer brush
if you want a nice and thin layer. Sometimes the Rose Electron comes
out strong if you apply it directly from the tube.
Aww thank you so much… I probably have to run to Sephora and get the Rose Electron before it runs out:)
Hi. I discovered your website just 2 days ago and really appreciating your videos. I am learning so much with regards to make ups and above all your eyeshadows which are really very nice.
One request though, could you please show how you did your eyeshadows when you did this review for Bourjois. I really love your look. You are so, so pretty. What color of lipstick did you use?
Thanks.
Just wanted to let you know there is currenlty a 20% off sale at Ulta (and Bourjois brand included). SO if looking to pick up some more eyeshadow-NOW’s the time!
I bought the pink at Sephora and LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE it!
I would have bought more, but the only other color they had left was white.
I bought the pink (Rose Electron) at Sephora and love LOVE L-O-V-E it! I probably would have bought more, but the only other color they had left was the white. I do plan to buy more, though.
you have really great video tutorials. that eyeshadow looks great on you. i wanted to know if it would look great on asians. i definitely want to get one of the products.
Hey Marlena! I was wondering what you did to your hair in that video, it looks awesome!!! Very shiny and healthy:)
Which hairspray do you use here?
I have become a makeup junkie. I never thought that I could be this addicted. I am now having to order Bourjois through ebay and I can wait to try the colors. Thank you for everything. You have taught me so much.
I was very excited to see these shadows for 75% off at Sephora last week! Yay!!
