Bonjou is Creole French for Hello, so Hello Beauty!
Canada is known for many things, but we’re maybe best known for hockey, maple syrup, snow…Drake, Justin Bieber, Celine Dion and Robin Sparkles. And, if you know who Robin Sparkles is - bonus points! One day, hopefully, Canada will also be known for Bonjou Beauty.

Some other deets about us
- Our photographer is Toronto-based Tarsipix Studios. Check out his portfolio.
- Our makeup artist is Toronto-Based Jade Alliyah. Check out her portfolio.
Most of the models in the campaigns we use are friends and family. We feel it makes a difference to see real people who also use the products daily.
Other than some minor touch-ups the photographer does to the initial photos, we do not use Photoshop or filters, so these photos represent what everyone looks like wearing the makeup.
