Camille Rowe’s Guide to Effortless French Girl Beauty

[soft music]

Bonjour!

I m Camille, and this is my go-to Paris fashion week look.

So I ll put my hair up before I wash my face.

That s cute, okay.

So I wipe my fingers.

So the cleanser kinda sets in, and then I wash it off.

Okay, and I pat dry.

I like to use the hyaluronic acid by Dr. Barbara Sturm.

So I ll leave these on for, you know, however time I have.

It says 20 minutes,

I ll sometimes do more, sometimes less, depending.

So, I like these guys, they re easy to travel with.

They re liquid.

And I swear I never, ever get sick.

I look like a little animal right now.

[Camille grunts]

Ugh, it s not great.

This helps with unpuffing.

I like, I get a really sore neck

so I really like to get in here.

It s all super natural ingredients.

So the cream was made by a woman who got breast cancer,

and she created this cream.

Ten percent of the proceeds go to

Cedars-Sinai cancer research, so that s nice.

It s quite, it s very very hydrating

and also, I don t know, it leaves your skin,

it s like a very nice texture.

And you re just gonna be, you really have to rub it in.

I pick at my face constantly,

and so then I get little scabs,

and it s really good for just healing.

I should get more facials.

I just,

I like,

I like popping my own pimples

so I feel like when I go and get a facial

and they do it for me, it s really annoying.

I d rather do it myself.

I have this big,

hormonal pimple

that showed up this morning, including this one.

Look, I buy this in French pharmacies, Hexomedine.

It s really good for kind of under-the-skin pimples,

so like this one in particular.

Because of lack of sleep, I ll put a little bit of,

I ll put some eye drops in.

I quite like these.

These are also from a French pharmacy.

They said that actresses in the 50s put them in their eyes

cause they make them look blue,

but I don t, I haven t noticed that.

[imitates crying]

Then I ll put on some eye cream.

I like this Biologique Recherche one.

I mean, French pharmacies are,

I love walking in and just,

I buy a lot of random stuff.

There s more pharmacies than bakeries, even in Paris.

My mother s really into skincare.

She got melanoma a few times,

and so she kinda freaked me out,

so now I m quite scared of the sun

and put on so much sunscreen daily.

Wear sunscreen because then you get wrinkles,

you don t want wrinkles.

Yadda yadda.

I m French, I love cheese.

I will say sugar, though,

if I eat a lot of sugar, I will get a pimple,

so I try and, like, not eat too much sugar.

I don t love to exercise,

but I walk,

and I swim,

and like once a month I ll go boxing.

Because the go-to look is a red lip,

I think it s pretty important to scrub your lips.

This is just Vaseline and sugar,

which you can, which I make myself.

It s very easy to make.

This is also Biologique lip balm

that I love.

I ll put some on my cuticles too cause I pick at those.

So I keep my eyebrows pretty natural

but there are, like, a few little guys.

I let a makeup artist tweeze my eyebrows once

and I just, it got really 90s.

My mom cuts my hair,

and she only wants to cut it on a full moon

cause she says it grows longer and thicker.

So, I don t get to see my mom that often,

maybe like three, four times a year.

So the odds that I see her on a full moon

and I can actually get a haircut are quite low.

So, makeup!

I don t mind a few imperfections.

I don t put,

I like foundation

but I kinda use it more as a concealer than foundation.

I feel like people are like,

Ooh French beauty, they don t do anything!

But I think it s more about looking as natural as possible.

At the end of the day,

I d rather look like I have no makeup on,

and if you go to a party

and then you look like you have no makeup,

it s a win-win situation cause you re either like,

Oh, she looks amazing and she doesn t have any makeup!

or, Wow, she s not wearing any makeup

and she still has the balls to show up!

You know, She s so confident!

I like this Westman Atelier concealer.

It s a little thick, which is nice for our friend here.

I don t usually break out as much as this.

I just, I don t,

I have okay skin.

Just not, not this week.

So for my brows, I don t,

I don t actually like to fill them in that much.

I have a scar here that I kind of just

like to pinch rather than fill in,

but I do like to put a little

clear brow mascara.

That s cool.

I like to use Laura Mercier ones.

And the great thing about these, too,

is if you get a little,

if you get little red marks.

Oh, and now it s a freckle.

Maybe, should we turn him into a freckle?

No, I just need to commit to the fact

that I have a pimple in the middle of my face.

This is called contouring.

I m one of those humans.

But I sort of just use it more as a bronzer.

We ll do a little pink, a little brown.

I use this same brush for everything,

which clearly is not a good idea.

And voilà,

it s like I spent the whole entire day in the sun,

and I like to

kind of pinch the brush

and put it right in the crease of the nose,

like a little line.

Ooh, that was, that s a bit aggressive.

Okay.

So it looks like you have, like, a little sunburn.

It s so cute.

But I don t get sunburns cause I wear so much sunscreen.

So I cheat a sunburn.

Voilà.

I usually don t put on very much mascara,

but I always, always, always curl my lashes.

I feel it just wakes you up.

[speaks foreign language]

Let s try and do this.

When I first moved to Los Angeles,

I got hair extensions and eyelash extensions.

Because when in Rome.

I did a hair job, and they died it

five times in three hours,

and it just all fell out

so I didn t have any hair for awhile,

and I put a few extensions, which was nice,

but it s too high maintenance for me.

But it, it did feel nice to have hair again.

It was actually traumatizing to lose hair.

I like mascara when it s a bit dry,

cause otherwise it sort of just gets everywhere.

Like, I try and take off as much as possible,

but not too much, so just, just the top.

I m gonna put a little bit of

glitter on my eyelids.

So this is kind of a, like a gold-y situation.

But I like, I like this guy cause I feel like

it looks a bit wet, if that makes sense.

I love some highlighter.

I found this little guy.

I ve never heard of it before,

but I think it s a fantastic highlighter.

Yeah, I d rather my skin look a bit dewy than matte.

I love a red lip.

I mix a lot of colors.

I usually quite like a sort of orange-y red.

So I think today, I wanna do [yelps].

I mean, Dior makes a great,

they make a great red one.

I like the 999, which is sort of the classic red,

but we can mix it with

[mutters]

We ll just put this one aside.

Ooh, this is nice.

Okay, so we re gonna mix maybe a bit of this

and a bit of this.

Uh, okay.

I like a stain, but not for tonight.

Tonight we re going out.

The technique to apply lipstick is no technique.

I mean, a lot of my fingers are involved.

I follow my natural lip line to start,

and then I kind of, like,

tap over it so it looks like a softer line.

This is quite nice, but I think we want a little bit more,

a little bit of this guy.

Maybe let s add a little dark.

It s okay if it s not perfect, no?

I m gonna make out tonight anyway,

so it ll be all over I think.

And then, because I love a blush.

Then we, I can.

Hair!

My lip is so creepy.

I looked like Willem Dafoe in Wild at Heart.

Great film.

But he s creepy in that.

So I kinda wet the bottoms

cause they get a bit frizzy,

and then up a bit, the top.

[speaks foreign language]

Look, it s kinda wet.

Put a little bit of serum in the end and here.

[speaks foreign language]

And then I put it behind my ears.

I put on a hat.

It kind of makes the top sort of close to my head

and flattens it,

and then I m

I kind of make a wave here,

and I put it down [speaks foreign language]

[speaks foreign language] up.

And then I twist the back and put it up in the hat,

cause my hair is super flat,

and it gives it a nice little wave.

So then I just wait a little bit

until it sort of dries but not too dry.

So it s been a few minutes, I can take it off.

Okay, so this looks kinda weird.

But it kinda gives it the shape I like.

Or maybe brush it a little bit more.

My hair gets really tangled very easily and very fast,

so I ll try and make it as clean as possible

before I go out.

And because I flattened the top,

I quite like just,

in the back,

riding it a tiny bit

to give it a little bit more volume.

Not, not,

I don t like it here, I like it in the back.

And then for the time being, I ll just put it behind my ears

so that when I take it out it ll be,

there ll be even more of a bend.

So then there s two sprays that I like to use.

I usually don t use them at the same time.

Biologique one,

which is honestly a game-changer on an airplane.

It s super, super hydrating.

Voilà.

So that feels good.

I feel like it just adds extra moisture.

And then this guy by Caudalie.

It smells really nice, and I feel like it just, like,

kind of wakes you up, so I ll keep that in my purse

and do it a bunch throughout the evening.

Thank you so much for watching.

This is the final look.

Yeah, merci beaucoup.
