French influencer Makeup & Beauty of Paris
FIV: Hi Emmy! How are you? You are now one of the most influential Makeup and Beauty youtube girls with more than 1 million followers. Your passion and determination have made you a successful beauty columnist and professional makeup artist. What made you want to get into social networks and what was your biggest success on Youtube?
Emmy: When I was in make-up school almost 10 years ago, August 2019, I asked my teacher where she got her inspiration. She explained to me that she was watching makeup videos on the Internet. When I came back to my home I looked and I didn’t find it. We didn’t have the Internet on the phone in 2007, lol! The next day she explained to me that there was no such thing in France and that I had to type makeup. That’s how I came up with the idea of making make-up videos but in French. I think my biggest success is Horror Week. An event I created 8 years ago during Halloween when I release a special effects video every day for a week before October 31st. My most viewed video is that of a flat eye with almost 8,000,000 views. Impressive!
FIV: You must be very busy between your youtube channel, your instagram account, your many beauty events and your professional projects. What does one of your days look like?
Emmy: It’s difficult to describe a typical day because there are none. Every day is new and that’s what I like. Let’s say: I get up in the morning, I look at my insta (my favorite network), I check my emails, I get up, I get ready and then I answer the emails. I make phone calls, I receive my parcels… once a week I film.
FIV: As influencer, you often have the opportunity to work with companies. What is essential for you when you agree to cooperate with a brand?
Emmy: That the product conforms to the description and especially that it is in adequacy with my values and those of my community.
New make-up brands in Paris
FIV: Thanks to your profession as a beauty columnist and professional make-up artist, cosmetics brands no longer hold any secrets for you. What are the new make-up and beauty brands “in vogue” in Paris and that you would like to recommend to us?
Emmy: TarteCosmectics is very recent but I have known this brand for a long time. It is an innovative, qualitative and reasonably priced brand. I love their product which has an impressive look and feel. The second brand is HudaBeauty. She arrived in France two or three years ago and it is a brand that I particularly like because it is constantly innovating.
Tips and tricks for a Natural Glowy Makeup Look
FIV: What are your beauty tips and tricks for a Natural Glowy Makeup Look ?
Emmy:
- Face care: mask at least once a week with a scrub
- Green farsalli base that gives light and a smooth appearance to the skin incomparable
- Amazonian Foundation Pie that is exceptional : Glow Hold Rendering
- and the highlighter palette of HudaBeauty
Hydration, lipstick and fashion look for the Fall/Winter season
FIV: As a beauty professional, what is your secret to moisturizing and caring for your skin?
Emmy: Apply a good face cream morning and evening and especially cleanse your skin well. Avoid cleansing milk I find it clogs pores. I prefer micellar water but it’s a matter of taste. In the evening apply a serum. I really like Khiel’s Midnight Recovery. Its effectiveness on the skin is immediately apparent: suppleness, tone and light.
FIV: What is your Top 5 Flash and long-lasting lipstick?
Emmy: I don’t apply flash lipstick, I prefer more sober colours. I love HudaBeauty and KatVonD
FIV: On your social networks, you don’t hesitate to combine beauty and fashion, which are ultimately very linked. If you had to describe your fall/winter 2019/2020 look to us, what would it look like?
Emmy: Good question. Boots, large wool sweater, small hat in the colour of the boots and handbag.
“Makeup Don’ts”
FIV: What are for you the “makeup don’ts”?
Emmy: I think that in terms of make-up it is difficult to judge because the tastes and colours are unique to everyone. Let’s say we should avoid:
- the orange complexion
- orange arched eyebrows
- much darker yeast contour
- l’anti-circle white marked
