Look Très Chic By Following These Tips
These beauty and fashion tips are oh-so-easy to recreate and there’s also room to add your own personal touch to it. As the French say, “C’est simple comme bonjour”!
Hide Your Bad Hair Days Effortlessly
Bad hair days are annoying. It can leave you feeling like merde, even if your outfit and makeup are on point and getting the perfect selfies are almost impossible in such situations. Well, if there’s anything we learned from Emily Cooper, is that un chapeau makes everything better. And the options are endless as well. You can hide your bed head for your morning brunch with a stylish beret, or use a sun hat while vacationing at the beach or even ditch the baseball hat for a fedora to protect your head from the heat while grocery shopping.
The Perfect Day And Night Makeup Look
The makeup artist who created Emily Cooper’s perfume launch event makeup look revealed that in order to achieve the perfect day and night French-girl makeup, you need to keep it très simple in the morning and later highlight your eyes and lips. For the day, a light base along with highlighter, mascara and blush starting from the apples of the cheek going all the way up to the temples is good enough. For the night, all you need to do is apply a bold red lippy and a hint of eyeliner on your upper lash line, et, voila!
It’s All About Those Big Brows
We first saw Audrey Hepburn rock those bold brows in ‘Breakfast at Tiffany’s’ and now we see Emily doing the same in Emily In Paris. Granted, actress Lily Collins does have naturally thick brows, but that doesn’t mean you can’t achieve it as well! All you need is your trusty brow powder and spoolie to rock those box brows, all day.
Office Chic
Not everyone is brave enough to pull off all of Emily’s office wear looks but there’s one that’s simple, stylish and will make you look like a total #bossbabe. A long flowy summery dress paired with a belt and strappy stilettos is something everyone can pull off.
Hair Accessories For The Win
After seeing Emily Cooper’s ballet outfit which consisted of an off-shoulder dress and a sleek updo paired with a subtle tiara-like accessory placed around her head, we’re now left wondering why hasn’t hair jewellery blown up on the trend chart yet? It clearly screams la haute couture. If you want to embrace this look, you don’t need to go scrambling through the internet to find a chic piece of hair jewellery, you just need to dig into your jewellery box. The show’s stylist revealed that she used a necklace and place it around the crown of the head to upgrade the updo.
Along with these tips from Emily In Paris, remember, confidence is the cherry on top to help you fully embrace that French girl style.
