Yves Saint Laurent Dessin du Regard Eye Pencil

The key to the Carine Roitfeld look is that less is more: the area of focus is the eye leaving the skin free of foundation and the lips natural. Carine is a YSL girl all the way in choosing her favorite makeup products (unlike Julia who likes Chanel). Since the emphasis of the look is on "le smoky eye" invest in a good eyeliner. In defining her eyes, Carine prefers Yves Saint Laurent Dessin du Regard Eye Pencil in Mink Touch. Her intense look is framed by her strong, dark brows which must be perfectly groomed. Carine uses YSL Eyebrow Pencil in #2 Brown to tame her eyebrows and finish the look—voilà. No wonder her daily beauty ritual takes her ten minutes to complete.

Thank you for this! Does she use any shadow all over the lid? or just the pencil to line? Thanks!

I believe she may use the pencil all over her lid, Debbie, darkening it at her lash line. Note that this is just a guess based on what I can see in photos of Carine in addition to my own use of the product.

Do you know what she uses on her lips?

Sorry I do not, Nicole.
