Get inspired by Violette Serrat, founder of Violette_FR, colourful makeup routine!

Incredible makeup guru, Violette Serrat sees beauty as an art and plays with colours as if she was using a Canva to paint her mesmerising makeup looks. To celebrate the launch of VIOLETTE_FR on our shelves, discover her makeup routine and let you be inspired to add colours to your life!

Her minimalist skincare routine
Her double cleansing ritual

“In the morning, I simply put water on my face before applying any product. I have very sensitive skin so I don’t cleanse my face to avoid anything that could be too aggressive on my skin. However, at night, I double-cleanse. It has become my skin religion! I start with Oh My Cream Skincare Makeup Removing Oil to really melt off the makeup and any impurities, and then Herbivore Pink Cloud Jelly Cleanser. A really good cleansing ritual is the base for everything!”

The saviour serum

“Since I just came from New York, I’ve travelled and didn’t get much sleep… I have very dry skin. I apply VIOLETTE_FR Skin Barrier Rescue Serum to hydrate my skin and repair the skin barrier. We’ve developed these 5 serums like a first-aid kit for your skin to really soothe any skin’s emergency concerns!”

The Dream Skin Duo

“Between us, we call them our “Dream Skin Duo”. First VIOLETTE_FR Boum Boum Milk Moisturising Spray Cream. It’s quite the miracle spray! A serum, toner and moisturiser that you can apply onto your body, your hair and scalp, enriched in probiotics thanks to the fermented birch sap in its formula. Since I’ve been using it, I don’t have anything to worry about when it comes to my skin. It’s liquid gold! 

Next, VIOLETTE_FR C'est La Cream Moisturising Cream, enriched in prebiotics thanks to its beetroot sugars. What I wanted was to develop a cream that could create a protection barrier to protect the Boum Boum Milk’s benefits, protect the skin from external aggressions and boost hydration at the same time.” 

Her daily makeup look

A minimal complexion routine

“Having naturally dry lips, I always start with a bit of Ilia Lip Wrap Reviving Balm. Next, I apply Ilia True Skin Serum Concealer. It’s a concealer that melts onto the skin without leaving any marks. I apply by dabbing it on, what I call, the root of my dark circle.”

On the cheeks

VIOLETTE_FR Bisou Cream Blush was inspired by my daughter Inès. I always dreamt about creating a blush inspired by the colours of her cheeks from when she was very young and teething. The day I went to the lab with her picture was quite a magical moment. I think the chemists never saw someone showed up with a picture of a baby to copy the colour and turn it into a blush. For the formula, I was inspired by sfumato techniques (one of Da Vinci’s favourite techniques), it consists in using layers of transparent colours to give this “sun-kissed” effect that comes from the skin and not from the makeup.”

On the eyes

“When I was developing the brand, I had this desire to create creative but yet wearable colours, to let anyone be easily inspired. I believe we were born perfect and that makeup and colours should only be there to celebrate and inspire us. Today, I wanted to apply a colour that could inspire me, wake me up and give me a bit of a boost. The one that does exactly that to me is VIOLETTE_FR Yeux Paint Twinkling Liquid Eyeshadow in the shade Rêve de Dahlia, one of my favourite colours.” 

 

And the lips

“I use VIOLETTE_FR Bisou Tinted Balm, one of our best-sellers! I really wanted to have this “just-bitten” lips effect, like a light cloud of colours on the lips. I love the shade Sucette, which is, to me, the most fun colour that we have.”
