Distinctly Canadian Lise Watier

“Every day, women in Canada, France, the United States, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates put their trust in Lise Watier products…And every day, these women inspire me in my life and work.”

These are the words of Montreal native Lise Watier about her self-titled makeup collection which has been expanding and winning awards since 1972.

In 2005 alone, she won three awards. Her Solution Express Cleansing Cloths, Les Basiques Nail Care and Eyebrow Essentials each won a spot on Chatelaine’s Top 100.

This season, buying eye shadow palettes that work well together can save you time trying to find which eye shadow works best and saves you room in your purse when you’re on the go. Lise Watier has many eye shadow quintets and duo shadows with colours that go well together, which makes it easier for those who aren’t too makeup savvy create a more blended look.

And for the woman who loves to give back to the community, The Lise Watier Foundation was started in 2009 to help disadvantaged women hone their talents and skills and find a better place in society.
