Review: Sothys Paris Reflet Make-Up Collection (Fall/Winter 2017)

Sothys Paris Fall Winter 2017 Reflet Make Up Collection

The Sothys Paris Fall/Winter 2017 Reflet Make-Up Collection features refined and mysterious colours for a bold and sophisticated look.

Sothys, an avant-garde beauty expert, offers a line of innovative skin and body care, as well as a makeup line with limited-edition collections inspired by the seasons. I was lucky enough to test out four products from the Reflet Collection that create a beautiful, seductive reflection with shades of grey, plum, and red.

Sothys Paris Fall Winter 2017 Reflet Make Up Collection Voile de Rose Cream Blush

As a blush lover, I tried the Cream Blush* from this collection first. I love cream formulas during the colder months since they apply well over drier skin and don’t turn chalky throughout the day. The formula on this blush did not disappoint. Upon application, it melts into the skin and transforms to a powder to create a healthy glow that doesn’t look oily or sticky. Its velvety texture provides a soft, satiny finish that makes the complexion look naturally flushed and smooth. The shade, Voile De Rose is very versatile and gives the cheeks a natural rosy glow. It warms up my pale skin and makes it look bright and fresh as if I have been out for a brisk walk in the cool air. If you are going to try any product from this collection, I highly recommend starting with the blush.

The next two items are eye products that are meant to work together to created a chic and sophisticated smoky look. I received this duo in the shade Gris Zinc which features complimentary shades of grey (there is also a cranberry-toned duo). The Eye Contour Pencil* has a matte finish and works beautifully as an eyeliner. It is retractable with a fine tip for making precise lines. I like using it as an eyeliner to make my brown eyes pop. With its blue undertones and subtle flecks of shimmer, it’s a nice alternative to brown that’s perfect for the holidays.

Let’s take a closer look at that beautiful shimmer.

The Smoky Eye Pencil* is grey as well but with a hint of bronze rather than blue. It’s creamy, blendable, and provides perfect coverage which makes it great to use as an all over lid colour.

As you can see from the swatch, this pencil has a smooth, iridescent finish. It’s ideal for achieving a beautiful jewel-toned look for the cooler months.

Sothys Paris Fall Winter 2017 Reflet Make Up Collection Vernis Sothys Rouge Des Arts Nail Lacquer 1

The last item is the Vernis Sothys Nail Lacquer* in the shade Rouge Des Arts. Most of the Sothys seasonal collections include a polish in a shade that complements the other items. This is the perfect shade of red for the holidays and year round. I love how the colour is so chic and timeless. It’s a true red without any shimmer or pink or orange undertones. It has a glossy finish and a formula enriched with keratin and biotin to preserve the health of the nails. Like all Sothys polishes, this one includes a flat brush for easy application.

Overall, the Sothys Paris Fall/Winter 2017 Reflet Make-Up Collection includes an elegant combination of colours for a sophisticated, luminous seasonal look. I like how the eye duo includes two different options to appeal to different eye colours and create multiple looks. The classic red polish and rosy cream blush will look great with any skin tone and add a fresh pop of colour. These two products are my favourites from the collection even though I love all the items I tried. In addition to the products that I shared in this post, the collection also includes a matte lipstick in both a red and a rose shade. All Reflet products range from C$18.50-C$48.50.
