ABOUT THE FOUNDER
French makeup artist Violette is the founder of VIOLETTE_FR, which was inspired by and developed with her social media audience (on Instagram and YouTube) in mind. To date, her expansive portfolio, which includes collaborations with Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, W Magazine, T Magazine, Dazed, and Teen Vogue, showcases her ability to not only conjure up painterly beauty looks but to contribute her distinct creative direction as well.
In 2012, she was appointed as the International Makeup Designer of Dior Beauty where she became the youngest makeup designer in the brand’s history. Soon after, in 2014, Violette was invited to consult for Sephora on product development where she lent her artist expertise to the global beauty retailer as they looked to expand their in-house line. More recently, she held the role of Global Beauty Director of Estée Lauder in 2017 at the age of 33, making her the youngest person to hold the significant role within the company’s 75-year history.
ABOUT VIOLETTE_FR
VIOLETTE_FR, much like its founder, does not compromise on values or quality. The tightly-edited, multi-category beauty collection consists of 11 innovative products across 6 categories including fragrance, hair, lip, eyes, complexion and skin.
Violette closely worked alongside chemists in France and the U.S. to develop formulas (housed in environmentally-conscious packaging) that are vegan, cruelty-free, and only utilize ingredients that are safe and effective. The complete collection, built upon the concept of “street luxury”, upholds Violette’s mission of democratizing the beauty world.
