Makeup artist Florrie White, Sisley’s Artist in Residence, explains how to transform your look from day to night.
5 steps to a radiant complexion
Brighten with Stylo Lumière
Simultaneously hides shadows and brightens the complexion.
Even Out with Blur Expert
For more even skin and less shine, apply Blur Expert all over your face with a medium brush to get around your nose and under your eyes too.
Glow with Phyto-Touche Illusion D'été
Apply Phyto-Touche Illusion D'été Bronzer to areas of your face that would catch the sun, sweep the product from your cheekbones up to your temples, from either side of your forehead into your hairline, across your nose and along your jawline, then blend together.
Touch of Color with Phyto-Lip Twist
Phyto-Lip Twist gives lips a touch of color and shine. Florrie White also applies it to the cheekbones before blending it in with a finger for delicately rosy cheeks.
Set with Floral Spray Mist
As the final touch, Floral Spray Mist across your whole face. The refreshing and hydrating formula helps makeup stay in place whilst also picking up your radiance when applied throughout the day.

Florrie White's beauty tips
What are your makeup essentials?
For foundation, Phyto-Teint Nude, which is so light but makes skin look so even and highlighted, and Stylo Lumière to conceal any shadows around the eyes or mouth. For the eyes, I use Phyto-Khol Star Waterproof which is so easy to apply, and So Stretch Mascara to define the lashes. I love Phyto-Ombres Eyeshadows: they're easy to use and work with, and you can adjust the intensity.
I also use Phyto-Lip Twist on my lips and cheekbones. I brush up my eyebrows with Phyto-Sourcils Fix, which is essential for structuring the face and also opens out the eye.
What kind of makeup should you wear for different occasions?
For date night, I'd go for radiance: make your skin glow like in candlelight! I'd add a touch of Phyto-Blush Twist for that healthy look. Apply it at the edges of the temples, on the eyelids and a tiny bit on the nose. For a night out, I'd play with Phyto-Ombres Eyeshadows, especially metallic shades like 41 Glow Gold and 40 Glow Pearl. For a job interview, I'd focus on the complexion for a neutral presentation. Make sure you choose the right shade of foundation and stop that nervous shine by popping Blur Expert in your handbag. Check your reflection before you walk into the interview.
How would you describe your hallmarks as a makeup artist?
I make sure my makeup suits the person and their personality. The compliment I most enjoy? When people around an actress I've worked on say: "You look amazing! And you still look like you." I always try to understand the woman in front of me, work with what she wants and keep in mind what kind of event she's going to: a premiere, a shoot, a press event... I use makeup to enhance, not to transform. I like playing with light and shade. People often recognise my work, so I think there are definitely "Florrie hallmarks"!
