Sisley Paris is set to launch four new products in local markets and travel retail in February.
Phyto-Blanc Brightening Daily Defense Fluid SPF50 PA++++ is a two-in-one product that aims to treat damaged skin and protect it from further damage by pollution, UVA/UVB radiation and free radicals.
Non-oily Daily Defense Fluid, which contains the patented Phyto-Blanc complex of active ingredients, encourages radiance and evenness. A triple shield ‘Skin Defense System’ is made up of a SPF50 titanium dioxide mineral sunscreen; buckwheat seed extract, said to be effective against the effects of pollution; and ascorbic acid 2-glucoside which contains anti-free radical properties.
Pro-vitamin B5 and phytosqualane moisturise, soothe and protect skin from the drying effects of air-conditioning and central heating.
Sisley has reinvented its range of make-up brushes with eight new designs. The brushes were created in collaboration with Raphaël, a French master brush maker since 1793. Each brush is handmade by experts, with synthetic fibres, using thirty manual procedures. The range features shortened handles, in black lacquered wood, for greater portability.
The eight new brushes are:
Retractable Kabuki Brush – for all types of powder and blush
Blush Brush – for contouring and sculpting
Foundation Brush – for all types of foundation (fluid, compact, cream)
Fluid Foundation Brush – for fluid and gel foundations
Powder Brush – for loose or compact powders
Eyeliner Brush – can be used with powders, creams, gels, crayons
Eyeshadow Shade Brush – ideal for creating smokey eyes
Eyeshadow Smudge Brush – an angled brush, perfect for blending
New Phyto-Blush Twist boasts colour, skincare and a healthy glow in one twist-up tube, according to Sisley. The gel formulation has micro-pigments to provide long-lasting colour, wax for a translucent finish and lightweight oils to create a blur effect.
The Twist, which does not need to be sharpened, can be applied in a single stroke without using a mirror, to lift and sculpt the features, noted Sisley. The effect can be subtle or dramatic depending on how much product is applied. A formula of shea and camellia oils and vitamin E comfort and hydrate skin.
Phyto-Touche Sun Glow Powder has been designed to give the complexion a ‘subtle amber hue like at the end of a summer day’. It is available in two versions: Trio Miel Cannelle in golden shades for olive skin and Trio Pêche Dorée in beige shades for fair skin.
Each compact contains a trio of powders: a light shade to add luminosity, a dark shade to provide definition and a blush to deliver radiance. Alternatively, all three shades can be blended together to create a customised tan.
Sun Glow Powder contains new Sisley innovation ‘Back Injection’. The product starts out as a paste coated with volatile oils which is pressed and baked. In the oven the oils evaporate and the paste returns to powder form resulting in a formulation which adheres to the skin with no visible powder to give a long-lasting, light glow.
The product is formulated with shea and camellia oils and vitamin E and comes with its own miniature Kabuki brush.
