Beauty’s best-kept Parisian secret is finally getting its moment: the effortlessly chic French makeup brand Violette_FR has landed at Sephora. Founded by Parisian makeup artist and former Guerlain Creative Director Violette Serrat, the brand has become a cult favourite for its minimalist yet expressive approach to beauty—think glowing skin, flushed cheeks, and painterly eyes with an art school twist.

If you’ve ever wanted to channel that perfectly undone, je ne sais quoi look, these are the Violette_FR products to add to cart before they fly off the shelves. —Alexandra Aulicino

YEUX PAINT Liquid Eyeshadow & Eyeliner

Part eyeshadow, part eyeliner, Yeux Paint is one of the star products of the Violette_FR collection—and for good reason. This high-pigment, no-fuss formula glides on effortlessly, dries down to a comfortable and flattering finish, and comes in a range of shades from natural to bold. Whether you want a subtle wash of colour or a graphic flick, this multi-tasking product delivers editorial-level impact with minimal effort.

Must-try shade: Cuivre de Lune – a shimmering copper that makes every eye colour pop.

BOUM-BOUM MILK Rebalancing 3-in-1 Barrier Spray with Squalane

This skincare-meets-makeup prep mist has a serious cult following. A 3-in-1 toner, serum, and moisturizer spray, Boum-Boum Milk is formulated with skin-loving ingredients such as fermented birch sap, squalane, and glacier water. It calms irritation, boosts hydration, and preps your skin for seamless makeup application—all with just a few spritzes. Perfect for jet-setters, French pharmacy lovers, and skincare minimalists alike.

LIP NECTAR Hydrating Lip Stain

This brand-new product isn’t your average lip tint. Lip Nectar combines the comfort of a balm with the staying power of a stain, giving your lips a flush of juicy, just-bitten colour that feels weightless and hydrating. It’s the ultimate French-girl lip: soft, sheer, and effortlessly romantic.

Pro tip: Apply with your finger and blur the edges for that lived-in look.

BISOU BALM Sheer Matte Lipstick

If you’re into that barely there lip look that French girls are famous for, Bisou Balm is your new go-to. This sheer matte lipstick melts into the lips with a soft-focus finish and feels more like a balm than a traditional matte. It’s understated in the best way and made for everyday wear.

Favourite shade: Amour Fou – a universally flattering rosy beige.

BISOU BLUSH Marbled Cream Blush Stick

Arguably the prettiest blush stick on the market, Bisou Blush features a marbled swirl of pigments that create a naturally flushed, lit-from-within glow. The creamy texture blends like a dream—use your fingers, a brush, or even the stick directly—and it layers beautifully over foundation or bare skin.

Best for: Those who want an easy, fuss-free pop of colour that looks like you’ve just come back from a long walk along the Seine.
