Rouge
Baiser is a classic make up brand from, well, Paris – as te name suggests. Their
forte is the kiss proof lipstick formula. Of course, when I purchased this
palette in Monoprix Paris, I didn’t know this yet. I was more interested in the
pretty black and white ink sketches on the packaging. Only the lips of the
pretty illustrations are painted in seductive luscious red.
The sketches
however, doesn’t appear in the palette itself. The palette material is shiny
patent leather like pretty red, just like the lips of the sketches. The compact
box is wrapped in black velvet pouch – making it look expensive! Main material
of the palette is plastic with magnetic closure.
Inside, I got
small mirror, face powder, 2 blushes, 4 lipglosses, 12 eye shadows, dual ended
sponge applicator, lip brush and mini powder brush. Very complete for such a
small palette.
The powder
and blush is fine textured. The face powder though, will be too light for
deeper skinned beauties, as the powder is not translucent. The blushes are
pretty tan with golden shimmer and tan with a dash of mauve with golden
shimmer. The shimmer is not very visible once blended to the skin. They are
pigmented and stays pretty much the whole day on me. These colors must be worn
lightly, as they are pretty pigmented. I
like to wear the tan as eyeshadow, as I don’t contour my face too much.
The glosses
are sheer and balmy, I recommend to warm the product first by placing your
finger tip on top of the gloss before applying. I find this method makes it
easier for me to pick up color. The colors are plum, warm red, cool red and
nude. These are very nude and gives off glossy finish. I am liking all the
colors and find they are super wearable.
The main
star of the palette for me is the eyeshadows! they are pigmented and
wonderfully textured. Super easy to blend too! Shadows on top row are ivory,
warm bronze, taupe and black. The middle row is warm green themed: starting
with pearl, warm leaf green, deep olive and
greenish deep brown. Last row is plum themed: pastel lavender, deep cold
lavender, deep black-purple and pinkish plum. All have shimmery finish. This is
super easy to use, mix and match for all skin color. I am loving it!
I am
definitely going to check out more products from Rouge Baisier. The price point
is very reasonable and the brand is readily available in Monoprix Paris. Give it
a try if you drop by in Paris.
