Filled with more juicy drama, cutting-edge fashion, and bold beauty, the new season of “Emily in Paris” premiered on Netflix on December 21, just in time to bring us plenty of style inspiration for the new year.
Within the first two minutes of the third installment of the series, we see Emily Cooper, played by Lily Collins, do a drastic beauty makeover while cutting her hair into bangs. The new bangs set the tone for the beauty looks of the season: a little more French and a lot more dramatic.
“We wanted to make makeup evolve in a way that would bring more fun and more French glamour,” says the show’s lead makeup artist, Aurélie Payen. “We had to make some statements on hair and makeup to show that change is happening.”
Emily’s new hair not only shows off her embrace of Paris (the bangs, according to Payen, bring out a “cool French attitude”), but she also keeps her bold lipstick the centerpiece of her makeup. “[Emily] he is very vocal. She has many things to say. So we needed to keep that focus in the mouth,” explains Payen. Vibrant lip colors were present in seasons one and two, but they get even more emotional, leaning especially toward powerful red hues in season three.
Likewise, the public sees an evolution of Emily’s friends, Mindy (played by x) and Camille (played by Camille Razat). As Mindy lands a gig at a jazz club, her center stage fashion and makeup become super flashy. Meanwhile, we see Camille working in an art gallery, where her style matches the creative environment and her beauty is given an added touch with graphic eyeliner.
To create the dynamic beauty looks, Payen drew on a host of French products. From Parisian staples like Payot and Talika to global favorites from L’Oreal and Lancôme, the makeup and skincare used on set added an extra dose of French flair.
Here, Payen shares eight French beauty products used behind the scenes. Consider them a petit plaisir (“a little treat”) and add them to your own routine for that effortless French girl look.
Skin prep is essential for makeup looks that will last through long days of filming. “I really love doing a massage before applying any makeup because it’s so relaxing on the skin,” Payen shares. This quartz roller was a favorite on-set beauty tool for massaging and de-puffing.
Payen loves these reusable eye patches from Parisian brand Talika. They’re great for refreshing tired eyes, as they contain ceramides and shea butter to plump and hydrate the under-eye area.
Collins’ makeup looks focused on the lips this season. The makeup artist used this long-lasting matte lipstick in the shades French Idol, Rouge Pigalle, and Mademoiselle Lupita to highlight her lips. “I love working with matte shades, because these are the ones that add the most depth,” says Payen.
Camille’s character is the “quintessential French girl”, according to Payen, what we see in her natural style. She never dresses up too much, but her appearance becomes more experimental in both fashion and beauty.
“When we do ‘Emily in Paris,’ we’re very into fashion right now, what we’re living in right now and what can be avant-garde as well,” Payen says. Reflecting the adventurous spirit of today’s trends, Payen translates it into a bold graphic liner for Camille with this precision-tip pen.
One beauty trick Payen uses to keep skin looking natural is translucent powder only in the T-zone. This way, you can control shine but your makeup won’t look too heavy. “Actually, seeing the skin under the makeup is very important,” says Payen. This setting powder beloved by makeup artists is completely translucent, which Payen loves for all skin tones since it doesn’t appear chalky.
To keep skin fresh all day, Payen kept this facial mist on hand. A few sprays provide a light layer of hydration that you can apply to the skin before touching up any makeup.
Filming during the summer months means sunscreen is a must. Payen opted for this French drugstore favorite that she says is “not heavy on the skin, it’s very soft.”
