PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
Lise Watier’s first steps into beauty go back to the 60s. During that time, she embarked on a flourishing career on Canadian television as a host for numerous TV shows addressing women’s issues.
The creativity of her concepts, as well as the genuine tone of her comments, quickly gathered tremendous interest on the part of her audience. Her charisma, her self-confidence, and her natural ability to communicate generated a flurry of letters from women seeking her advice.
Strongly motivated by the positive feedback from her viewers, Lise Watier wanted to go a step further. In 1968, she opened the Lise Watier Institute; a space dedicated to beauty and self-esteem offering classes on makeup, personal style, and overall well-being. The women who enrolled were delighted; finally someone had addressed their deep desire to express their own personal inner beauty. The experience was absolutely enriching for both parties.
It is while helping women blossom that Lise Watier discovered the core values on which she would build her business. For this passionate entrepreneur attentive to women’s desire for fulfillment, beauty needed to go beyond what meets the eye. Cosmetics were now seen as tools meant to enhance women’s self-esteem; creations geared towards celebrating a radiant state of being. With this concept in mind, Lise Watier launched Lise Watier Cosmétiques in 1972, a complete line of makeup, skincare and fragrances that has grown steadily to become a truly iconic Canadian brand.
Today, Lise Watier products are distributed in over 1300 points of sale in Canada, as well as in France, United States, Saudi Arabia, and the Unites Arab Emirates.
Ambitious, passionate, loyal, dedicated and creative, Lise Watier has made her mark and still serves as an inspiration for many women.
