Summary
In this special live episode recorded at SCAD during SCAD Style, we sit down with the effortlessly chic Violette Serrat—makeup artist, creative powerhouse, and founder of Violette_FR.
We dive into her nontraditional path into beauty, what sets a Violette_FR product apart from the rest, and how she balances being both the creative visionary and the business mind behind the brand. Violette also shares what it really takes to launch at Sephora, how she defines the iconic French-girl aesthetic, and the unexpected influences—from David Bowie to Japanese minimalism—that shape her approach.
Of course, it wouldn’t be Gloss Angeles without some beauty recs: Violette dishes on her ride-or-die French pharmacy products, her essential hair staples, and how to pull off a bold eye or lip without looking overdone.
