AQUA EYES, for a dreamlike look

Aqua Eyes, artistic inspiration

Creative and inspired, Dany Sanz imagined a unique persona:
“This mermaid, a hybrid creature of myths, fuses with her aquatic surroundings. Her white, diaphanous skin is almost translucent. She is unique, phantasmagoric, lost between two worlds. A disconcerting enchantress, she has nourished every designer’s imagination since the beginning of time and will continue to stir their creativity for many years to come.”

AQUA SMOKY LASH LOOK

“This sophisticated, provocative woman is modern, confident and sure of her femininity. She loves a challenge and likes to destabilize anyone who meets her gaze. Plunged in a swimming pool, on a warm summer night, she makes water her ally. It becomes a weapon of seduction that she wears like a necklace of light. The play of reflections, water drops… In her game of seduction, the bait is danger. She is always the femme fatale, in any situation.”

AQUA SMOKY LASH LOOK Step-by-Step

Face
Even out the skin with the neutral HD primer, to be applied using the fingertips or the HD sponge. Apply Face & Body #2 with the Ellipse sponge and correct any imperfections with Full Cover #4. Blend perfectly with the 5N brush.

Eyes
Apply Aqua Black to the upper eyelid and spread it out to the temples in a clear line for a perfect Smoky Eye. Blend some turquoise Aqua Eyes 7L eyeliner on the lid and under the lower lashes, extending it all the way to the temples. Draw a crescent with black Aqua Eyes above the outer crease and go over the outer corner of the eye. Layer copper Aqua Eyes 10L over the black crescent and illuminate the area just under the brow with a line of silver Aqua Eyes 8L. A hint of Aqua Smoky Lash on the upper and lower lashes will open up the eyes. Add structure to the overall look by intensifying the brows with Aqua Eyes 2L.

Lips
Define the lip line with raspberry Aqua Lip pencil 15C and color in the lips from the outside to the inside.

LONG-LASTING EXPERTISE
AQUA SMOKY LASH
With its natural black mineral pigments, film-forming polymers, mineral-rich red seaweed, Carnauba wax, beeswax, and D-Panthenol to protect the lashes, the waterproof version of Smoky Lash is a new bestseller!

The latest innovation in the MAKE UP FOR EVER mascara range, Aqua Smoky Lash is the waterproof version of Smoky Lash mascara. Extremely concentrated in pigments, the formula coats lashes in intense black color and perfectly resists water, perspiration and tears. Under a spray of water, at the beach or in the swimming pool, its staying power is infallible. The unique brush, a blend of fibers and elastomers, creates an exceptional lash volumizing effect, never-ending length and instant curl. Although it is long-lasting, it is very easily removed with a waterproof makeup remover like Sens’Eyes.

Aqua Black

Aqua Black waterproof cream eyeshadow is ultra-pigmented and can be used to create intense, smoky makeup looks, with impeccable staying power. Its black micronized iron oxide mineral pigments coat the eyelid to create a perfect Smoky Eye. Developed from the same technology as Smoky Lash and Aqua Smoky Lash mascaras, Aqua Black can be removed just as easily with a waterproof makeup remover like Sens’Eyes.
