How do small moments belie vast hopes, dreams and desires? This #BooksandLooks has taken inspiration from BBB London’s Ultra Fine Liquid Eyeliner and Amour to consider how the tiniest of details contribute to the totality of expression.
Amour: How the French Talk About Love is the personal project of Stefania Rousselle, a French-American Pulitzer Prize winning journalist and documentary filmmaker. The resulting book, published by Viking, is both a quiet contemplation and joyous exclamation of love.
Following years of reporting on far-right nationalism, terrorism and sex trafficking, as well as the end of her own relationship, she had stopped believing in love. Plunged into a state of despair, Stefania decided to travel alone around France, asking people simply: what is love? 
From those who have only just embarked on a relationship, to those who have been together for a lifetime: childhood sweethearts, second-chances, late-life romances, from shepherds, to students, refugees and mothers, all had an answer.
“We are imperfect beings, but we have something that links us together, and that is sublime: Love. Amour.”
And whilst we might be imperfect, our eye makeup doesn’t have to be. BBB’s liner sets the bar high when it comes to the perfect swoop. The highly-pigmented, demi-matte formula of their black Ultra Fine Liquid Eyeliner glides effortlessly onto our lids, while its superfine brush tip allows for micro-precision application.
The perfect way to accentuate come hither eyes, smudge-proof and water-resistant with 13 hours of lasting power, breakup or makeup: we are in love.
