True love begins with self-love.

I developed the Cabinet of Curiosities as a peek into my creative process. Part mood board, part science exhibit, it’s a study in observation that allows me to capture my endless inspirations in one small visual world.

I love the complexity of purple—dancing between feelings of power and vulnerability with every variation. It can be tender, vibrant, or deep and mysterious. What emotion does it evoke in you?

Bisou Balm Rose Latte is truly the most wearable pink—a mid-tone hue in an ultra-blurry formula for soft, just-kissed lips.

Truly a "pinch me" moment. Photographer @txemayeste's striking chromographic print is now on display in the Solid Gold Exhibit at the Brooklyn Museum, featuring makeup by me.

It’s so important during transitional seasons to give extra love to your skin. The Dream Skin Duo—Boum-Boum Milk and C’est La Cream—acts as a nourishing barrier shield and rebalancing spray that brings your skin back to optimal health.

There’s so much beauty and inspiration in the repetition of texture.

In today’s LBD, I’m sharing how to recreate my beauty look from our Webster event last month. To start, I use a touch of concealer and corrector to brighten my under-eye area and add luminosity to my cheekbones. Then, I lightly line the lashline with Yeux Paint Café Serre—a rich brown—and blend it slightly with a brush. I use the leftover product on the brush to line the lower lashline, and then, with a clean brush, I add a winged tip. Next, I add a soft flush of color to my cheeks using Bisou Blush Louise. I line the lower waterline with Yeux Paint Paris La Nuit for a pop of twinkling red, then I add mascara to balance the look. I finish with Petal Bouche Cerise Désir on my lips and the surprise factor—a line of Yeux Paint Paris La Nuit on my cupid’s bow. Et voilà!

So many of you asked for a guide on my beauty look from our Webster event celebrating the launch of Yeux Paris La Nuit and Café Serre. So, for my next LBD, I’m sharing a tutorial on how to create this chic, holiday-ready look.
