Makeup artist Violette Serrat, the founder of Violette_FR, makes the je ne sais quoi of French Girl style and beauty accessible to everybody. She shares her rebellious approach to makeup, the homeopathic skin drops she uses, why skin needs to rest, the key to good “sex hair,” and why eyeshadow looks better when it’s “slowly dying.” This interview originally aired in 2020 and has been re-edited and includes a new introduction.
