Sandra‘s Closet

September is always the «beauty month» – each week several brands host a press event to present their newest launches. Let me get started with one of my favorites, the press conference of  SISLEY Paris at Ynox in Zurich. The perfect location to indulge in the fall novelties that you definitely should not miss as well as yesterday’s must-have sandals… .

At the press conference with SISLEY National Make-up Artist David Hahmeyer and SISLEY General Manager Switzerland Florence Maraval.

Arty visuals, a strong statement with the signature zebra stripes, modern but not vulgar – the new SISLEY products are young, easy to use with professional results. Let me get started with the new foundation, the first one under CHF 100, that is available from now.

PHYTO-TEINT ULTRA ÉCLAT – an «augmented» version of the brand’s famous phyto-teint éclat foundation. More radiance, more shades, more skincare: that is the promise of this new foundation that now addresses every skin tone and comes in 14 shades (good to know: the shades with a plus have a warm undertone compared to the ones with normal numbers).

The new PHYTO-TEINT ULTRA ÉCLAT is formulated with a radiance-activating complex that combines minerals (zinc, copper, and magnesium) to give the skin a breath of fresh air. Radiance is boosted, skin is luminous, fresh, and flawless thanks to the oil-free formula which perfectly crosses make-up with skincare. It stays fresh and clear even in hot or humid weather. Skin imperfections and wrinkles fade.

Price: CHF 90.00 / 30 ml
In stores now.

LES PHYTO-OMBRES – long lasting radiant eyeshadows that will blow you away. They are packed with pigments and feature «light reflecting» mother-of-pearl, and they come in various finishes that can be combined in infinite ways to give your eyes radiance and depth. A new collection of twenty luminous, intense, magnetic shades, half-powder, half-cream, these eyeshadows blend seamlessly with the skin thanks to a gelled sugar and a film‑forming polymer that give them a smooth, melting, creamy texture.  Folds and fine lines on the eyelid are visually reduced rather than accentuated.

The make-up lasts all day and into the night 20 radiant shades, 4 colour families (the nudes, the smoky, the arty, the glows) and 5 finishes for multi-faceted possibilities: matt, satin, metallic, luminous, glitter. All the shades complement and echo each other so they can be worn alone, in combination, or on top of one another. The tailor-made result catches light or electrifies the eyes depending on the mood, time of day, or season.

Price: CHF 48.00 each
Launch Date: November 4, 2019

VELVET SLEEPING MASK WITH SAFFRON FLOWERS – SOS comfort intense repair. This nourishing mask supports dry, or occasionally dehydrated skin, in the repair process. Enveloping the skin in softness, it instantly soothes and provides necessary nutrition and hydration to particularly vulnerable skin.

Used as a sleeping mask, it optimizes the nocturnal repair of the skin. Upon awaking, the skin has recovered. Regenerated, the skin is more resistant, softer and more radiant. Apply 1 to 2 times a week. As SOS mask, it immediately calms irritations and relieves sensations of discomfort. The soothes skin is once again smooth, soft and supple.

Price: CHF 128.00 CHF / 60ml
Launch Date: October 7, 2019

Before flying to Brazil, I filmed with SISLEY Paris a TV-spot at Jelmoli about the most important S/S 2019 beauty trends that will air for the first time on May 31, 2019 at 6.30pm during «Lifestyle» on Tele Züri. SISLEY National Make-up Artist David Hahmeyer created three different looks on me that reflect what is in vogue now and explained which star products he used. The spot will be constantly repeated in case that you are missing out…

A big thank you to the Sisley team and the Tele Züri crew!

Every season poses an opportunity for the biggest names in makeup to decide how they would like to see the beauty world. For the S/S 2019 makeup trends, their focus was on clean, glowing skin, to create a no-make-up look. Effects were punctuated by just a single messy or unusual element, in this case preferably a wild graphic eyeliner to watercolor-esque eyeshadow in an eye-catching hue. For the evening, old-school glamour played an important role, with the focus on strong red lips combined with soft smokey eyes. This is a season of «everything is possible», and the S/S 2019 beauty trends certainly reflect that.

SISLEY Paris star products for the «No Make-up» look:
Phyto-Teint Expert Flawless Skincare Foundation and Instant Eclat (a great product that you can also mix with your blush to create a highlighting effect).

SISLEY Paris star products for the «Statement Eyes» look:
Phyto-Eye Twist Long-Lasting Eyeshadow – 5 Lagoon and Highlighter Blush – L’Orchidée Corail No.3.

SISLEY Paris star products for the «French Red Lips» look:
Blur Expert and Le Phyto Rouge Lipstick – 42 Rouge Rio.

Now that the sun is finally coming out, you also may feel liberated to have more fun with your makeup, because the next few months are the perfect time to press restart and try new things.

LoL, Sandra

So happy with the results – thank you, David!
