For years, the idea of French beauty has been one of aspiration for many people. Many beauty trends have come and gone, but the Gallic mystique has not only persisted, but grown. It is, at once timeless, but also eternally cool. The artfully mussed-up hair (bangs are a plus), paired with a rose-red lip or a coquettish kitten flick liner are hallmarks of beauty that generations continue to embrace and make their own.

It is in this intersection of the classic—the French are sticklers for history and tradition after all—and the youth culture that we find Violette—not last name necessary—the Creative Director of Makeup for Guerlain and coolest of the cool girls. The nicest one too.
