Bourjois Paris is a very popular brand of makeup in Europe & the UK. Founded in 1862 by Joseph Albert Ponsin, who created a patented whitening powder for Actresses, the "Bourjois" name grew with the introduction of Alexander-Napoleon Bourjois to help promote the new brand. In 1869, Bourjois purchased the enterprise and continued to expand its products, including a type of "baked eyeshadow", a unique recipe which is still closely guarded to this day.
