Beauty Advisor Yves Saint Laurent Boutique

Job description

The Yves Saint Laurent history of fragrances  is punctuated by successes. Ever since the 1964 creation of « Y », more than 50 years ago, YSL Beauté has produced true olfactory sociological markers. A societal dimension perfectly illustrated by the image of Monsieur Yves Saint Laurent posing nude for the launch of his first men's fragrance, Pour Homme, in 1971. Today, many fragrances of the brand have become must-have references both for men, with L'Homme, La Nuit de l'Homme and women, with Opium, Black Opium, Paris and Mon Paris.

Makeup  offers the highest technology at the heart of a precious case, under the inspiration of one of the most famous makeup artist Tom Pecheux, newly appointed Global Beauty Director. The YSL Beauté make-up icons include Touche Éclat, Mascara Volume Effet Faux Cils, Rouge Pur Couture and Rouge Pur Couture Vernis à Lèvres glossy stain.

Skincare  unites the most cutting-edge technology with glamour and an ultimate sensorial experience. Top Secrets, a pioneering skincare range for makeup lovers that presents a simple beauty equation: skincare plus makeup equals a multitasking hybrid of pre and post-makeup solutions for all complexions. The skincare branch of the brand is today conquering the premium skincare territory with its Or Rouge collection that brings together the Glycobiology science and a precious ingredient containing a high concentration of glycans, the pistil of Saffron.
