How to enhance your makeup look?
As the saying goes, the eyes are “the window to the soul” – they convey our emotions and can be a source of fascination and intrigue. Eye makeup can be used to accentuate them, create an intense look, and brighten up the face, but it also allows you to play with their shape thanks to an eyeliner, by lengthening or opening up your eyes. Brows are just as important, as they add structure to the face and frame the eyes, dialling up or toning down their intensity. Here are our expert beauty tips on how to bring out your eyes.
Good habits
Remove your makeup the right way
The eye area is sensitive and fragile. Mascara or smoky eyes, treat it gently when you take off your makeup. If you’re using a cotton pad, there’s no need to rub vigorously: leave it on for a few seconds to let the makeup remover work, then gently wipe in the direction of lash growth and repeat if needed.
Look after your eye contour
The skin of the eye contour area is especially thin. It has different needs to the rest of the face, which is why it’s essential to use suitable products. Morning and evening, apply an eye cream and use your fingertips to tap the product into the entire area.
Use eye makeup enriched with skincare ingredients
Opt for eye makeup enriched with skincare ingredients for a long-term action, for example a mascara with a lash-strengthening formula, an under-eye concealer that tones your skin, application after application, or an eyeshadow with softening properties.
Use suitable makeup brushes
Choose makeup brushes suited to the eye contour area, which has particularly sensitive and fragile skin, and remember to clean them regularly.
Look after your brows
Your brows are the most important part of your face, so adjust your beauty routine to suit their shape and your wishes. You can simply brush them, pluck them or rework their shape with a pencil or powder.

The glamorous routine
The essentials to create an intense look
Apply an under-eye concealer on dark circles, puffiness and shadowy areas and, if needed, use it to even out the upper eyelid. Add structure to the eye by using several shades of eyeshadow, applying with your fingers or a makeup brush and stretching out the darker shade on the outer corner of the eye – a foolproof way to give the illusion of bigger eyes. Apply mascara from the roots to the tips of your lashes until you achieve the desired result, then finish with your brows: a touch with a pencil to redefine them and fill in any sparse areas.
• RED VINE EXTRACT : toning.
• ACACIA WAX : softens, protects.
• RICE PHYTOCERAMIDES : reinforces the eyelashes' structure and makes them stronger.

The eyeliner routine
Beauty must-haves for a perfect cat’s eye
Use an eye pencil to draw a line along your upper lashes, stretching it outwards to continue on from the lash line and following the curve of the lower eyelid to make the eye look as wide as possible. Correct it with a cotton bud soaked in micellar water or smudge it with a makeup brush. Makeup experts can use a felt-tip eyeliner for a more eye-catching and precise line. Finish with a few coats of curling mascara, and don’t forget the outermost lashes.
Here are the key ingredients selected by Sisley for glowy skin :
• CARNAUBA WAX : coats and increases the volumising effect.
• VITAMIN PEPTIDE : for longer and thicker lashes.
• BEESWAX : protects and separates the lashes.

Looking for expert beauty advice?
How do I apply eyeliner properly?
Apply your Sisley eyeliner before mascara along the base of the upper lashes, from the inner corner of the eye outwards. Then continue the line towards the outside of the eye.
For a thicker line, press gently on the tip of the brush.
How do I choose the right mascara?
It depends on the results you want to achieve (curl, volume, length) and your lash type – short, straight, fine. This is because each type of mascara has a specific formula and brush. Some of them lengthen while others add volume and density, and curl the lashes.
How do I apply mascara properly?
Apply product to each lash line, then use the brush to spread the product along the lashes while closing your eye.
How can I get wider-looking eyes?
Use an iridescent or matte luminous eyeshadow in the inner corner of the eye, and apply a darker shade on the outer corner of the eye. Then trace a line that continues on from the lash line with a brush or an eyeliner.
Should I apply my makeup with my fingers or a brush?
It depends on how comfortable and skilled you are and the finish you want to achieve. Applying makeup with your fingers is more intuitive and gives a more natural finish, while brush application gives a more sophisticated result.
How can I protect my lashes?
By religiously removing makeup, using soft and gentle motions in the direction of growth. Opt for mascaras enriched with skincare ingredients on a daily basis.
