About Watier
Watier is a beauty brand founded by Lise Watier in Montréal in 1972. It offers makeup, skincare and perfume, and is home to the Neiges fragrance, a scent many Quebecers know well.
It suits anyone looking for beauty products with Quebec roots. Neiges is a classic holiday gift, fitting for a Quebec winter. Makeup and skincare from the brand are easy to find in pharmacies and stores across the province. Choosing Watier is a nod to a Quebec woman who built a beauty brand from Montreal, and to the decades of history behind it.
