She promptly moved to New York, with no training beyond a Kevyn Aucoin library book, and began to network her way into the industry.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Between 2012 and 2020, Violette worked as a Makeup Designer at Dior, a Product Development Consultant at Sephora, and as Estee Lauder’s Global Beauty Director, and was discovered by Vogue France in 2015.&nbsp;</p><br><p>In 2021, Violette was named Creative Director of Makeup for heritage brand Guerlain, AND launched her own brand, VIOLETTE_FR.</p><br><p>In this conversation, Violette shares why she’s an advocate for self-funding where possible, the value in staying true to your personal style when others suggest otherwise, and why she’d prefer it if her daughter weren’t to follow in her footsteps.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Read more at glowjournal.com</p><p>Follow Violette on Instagram @violette_fr.</p><br><p>Stay up to date with Gemma on Instagram at <a href="https://www.instagram.com/gemkwatts/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@gemkwatts</a> and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/glow.journal/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@glow.journal</a>, or get in touch at <a href="mailto:hello@gemkwatts.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">hello@gemkwatts.com</a></p><br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
