Why do you think Americans are so obsessed with French beauty?
"No idea! Is it the exoticism of the packaging? The historical influence of the country on fashion?"

What's one thing you love about French beauty and one thing you hate?
"I love the simple and chic looks that French women can have in the blink of an eye. I love the 'non-colors': beiges, blacks, navy blues… they are very French, they are divine. I also love soft tints and matte red lips. I don’t hate anything. I am glad to see that French women are, unlike Italian or American women, not constantly on the lookout for logos or ostentation. They love truly beautiful things and that is their strength."

What's one thing you love about American beauty and one thing you hate?
"I love the spontaneity of the looks. My favorites are dramatic nails and Dallas hair. I hate the too much, the overdone."
