Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet Lipstick 12 Beau Brun – 7.7 ml
Meet Beau Brun, the warm brown nude with a subtle red undertone from Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet. This liquid lipstick glides on in a single pass, delivering rich, full coverage with a velvet-matte finish that looks sophisticated while staying feather-light on the lips. The compact 7.7 ml tube combines luxury and practicality, making it easy to carry from morning coffee to evening plans. Beau Brun is designed to flatter a wide range of complexions with its balanced, everyday appeal.
The shade itself reads as a versatile brown-rose, leaning warm and wearable for daily styling—from casual lunches to polished office looks. In practice, it suits warm undertones and adds a refined glow to a neutral palette, pairing beautifully with both minimal makeup and more dramatic eye looks.
Details you’ll appreciate include a velvet-matte finish that remains smooth, a long-wearing formula that stays put for hours, and a lightweight texture that never feels cakey or drying. The formula is enriched with pigments for depth and intensity, and it uses a soft foam applicator for precise, controlled application.
Visible on the product page, the lipstick is described as having up to 24 hours of wear with a non-drying, comfortable feel, thanks to oils that help maintain a second-skin softness. The 1/4 of pure pigment content contributes to the deep, vibrant color in a single stroke.
Fragrance is present in the formula, with the inclusion of parfum/fragrance and notes drawn from its fragrance components, which contribute a subtle, refined aroma without being overpowering. Expect a light, pleasant scent rather than a strong perfume.

Fragrance notes
Fragrance plays a refined role in this formula, with parfum/fragrance and fragrance-related components contributing a subtle, up-front aroma. The visible notes include ingredients such as alpha-isomethyl ionone (violet-like nuance), linalool (floral), citronellol and geraniol (rose-y nuances). This combination yields a clean, sophisticated scent that disappears as the color sets, so it won’t compete with your perfume.
How to Use
- Exfoliate the lips to create a smooth base, then optionally apply a light layer of lip balm to hydrate before color.
- Using the applicator, apply Beau Brun starting at the center of the lips, then glide toward the corners for precise, even coverage.
- Outline the lips with the tip for clean definition; fill in the rest with a steady hand for full saturation.
- Allow a brief moment for the color to set into a matte finish; if you desire more intensity, apply a second layer once the first has set.
- For a “bitten lips” effect, tap the color with a finger while it’s still slightly tacky and blend outward for a soft-edged look.
- Reapply during the day as needed to maintain a fresh, chic appearance without reapplying a lip balm on top.
