About Bourjois
Monsieur Alexandre Napoleon Bourjois has always been ahead of his time. In 1863 the most modern makeup available was greasy, thick and uncomfortable to wear. Worst of all it was so heavy that it damaged the skin. Monsieur Alexandre Napoleon Bourjois heard Parisian stage actresses complaining about this terrible makeup and devoting his time to creating a unique powder Pastel Joues. Naturally, this powder blush was a huge hit with the actresses, and before long women all over Paris were demanding to try this revolutionary cosmetic product. It is more than a hundred years since Bourjois' cute round pots of blush were launched on the cosmetics market, but they are still well known and loved by women around the world. Bourjois was an expert in beauty and the desires of women.
