Emily Ratajkowski Masters the French Makeup Game in Paris

Emily Ratajkowski is getting the hang of this whole Parisian beauty thing. A quintessential California girl at heart, EmRata s aesthetic menu typically centers on tousled lengths, nude lips, sky-skimming lashes, and strategic ab reveals. But some time spent in the City of Light—under the guidance of makeup artist Hung Vanngo, no less—seems to be eliciting a desire to ramp up all things above-the-neck. Though, as it s France, the elevation comes with a side of nonchalance, a winning combination that is more challenging than meets the eye.

Case in point: After the Jacquemus runway show, which was held at the Musée Picasso, the party found Ratajkowski serving up a look classique: Show-stopping red-orange lips defined by its glaze of gloss (as well as her signature plump pout). Lengths were styled in a rumpled wave that offered a familiar frame for the flicks of liner and amplified lashes that completed the doe-eyed gaze. And rather than following the splashy moment with a one-up, the morning after saw the model-turned-actress embracing a no-makeup makeup look that was pared-down and demure (and very French) at Dior s front row. Those same lengths were neatly tucked behind ears, her lips coated in a transparent gloss, eyes edged in a touch of highlighter, with smudged onyx making a subtle showing under the lower lashline. The shared factor was EmRata s glowing complexion and compulsion for contoured blush (that L.A. lean), but it s the contrast of the looks that demonstrates her mastery of what defines the Parisian allure: the ability to move seamlessly from French femme fatale to angelic ingenue without skipping a beat.
