00:02 Bonjour Vogue, it's Colette Gansin
00:07 and today I'm gonna take you with me
00:09 through my hydrated skincare routine
00:11 with a classic French makeup.
00:13 Let's go.
00:14 I'm about to use the Cleanser Authentique Skin.
00:19 I'm gonna put it just right here.
00:22 I'm gonna use a mask.
00:27 I really love to do my skincare.
00:30 It's like a me moment for myself.
00:33 It's time to relax.
00:35 Ooh.
00:35 Okay, so right now we're gonna use
00:49 the Fenty Skin Fat Water.
00:50 I put just a little bit of this.
00:55 And generally I have like good skin, thank you mom.
00:58 Next step, we're gonna use G.Lonchi
01:01 Vitamin Blend Glow Serum.
01:03 Some people use just one pump, I'm extra.
01:06 I always put two.
01:07 I live in Paris and I'm using this product
01:13 because it's winter and me, my skin in winter is so dry.
01:18 So I really have to hydrate
01:20 and make sure that my skin looks good.
01:21 Mineral SPF 30, moisturizer.
01:25 So it's like, girl.
01:28 Voila.
01:30 Everything runs so you don't need to use any primer.
01:34 Riri, I'm right here.
01:38 I am ready whenever you are, text me.
01:40 This is also Fenty Skin, it's the Blush Pudding.
01:46 You can also use it before you go to sleep.
01:50 So when you wake up, your lips are not that dry.
01:52 Now I'm ready to do my French girl makeup routine.
01:55 I'm gonna use my foundation, which is Fenty in shade 415.
02:00 I'm gonna put it right here.
02:03 I applied for open casting in like the beginning of 2023.
02:10 And I'm so blessed because Vogue announced in September
02:16 that I am one of the eight finalists,
02:19 which I'm very, very grateful for.
02:21 I cannot wait to do like my first run ratios
02:26 as a curvy model because you know,
02:28 before like when I was young, I was really like insecure.
02:32 I did not feel like I had the beauty standards
02:35 because if you looked on TV and all the bigger things,
02:40 I wouldn't see a girl that looks like me.
02:42 So I never saw myself in that way.
02:44 And right now I'm gonna use my Too Faced concealer.
02:47 I really like this concealer because it's very like covering
02:50 if you want to have like a full makeup look.
02:53 Being a model is not just being pretty.
02:59 You have to have the skills, you have to be disciplined,
03:02 you have to wake up, you have to make sacrifices
03:05 because right now, honestly, I've been working
03:08 and I'm missing a lot of things
03:10 like hanging out with friends, birthdays,
03:13 because being a model requires your fully attention.
03:17 You have to be like secure in yourself.
03:19 I was born and raised in the Netherlands
03:32 and my parents are from Congo in Africa.
03:36 So I got Congolese roots.
03:38 Then I decided to move to Paris to a bigger city
03:41 because bigger opportunities, it's a fashion city.
03:45 I had to go.
03:46 Next step, hopefully I'm going to New York.
03:49 I've been chosen for a reason.
03:52 Now it's time to show the world why I was chosen.
03:56 I will use my Laura Mercier setting loose powder
03:59 in medium deep.
04:00 So for the dark skinned baddies, medium deep it is.
04:04 I am Congolese and we do speak French,
04:06 but when I grew up in the Netherlands,
04:09 I only knew,
04:11 [speaking in foreign language]
04:14 That's it.
04:15 So when I came here, my French was very limited.
04:18 Like I felt like a tourist.
04:19 Step by step it became better.
04:21 And now I speak fluently French.
04:23 I'm going to use my bronzer, Mocha Mami.
04:26 I'm going to tell you a secret in Dutch guys.
04:28 [speaking in foreign language]
04:32 If you know, you know.
04:33 I'm going to use my blush from MAC Cosmetics.
04:38 It has a little bit of glitter as you can see.
04:43 Look at this guys.
04:44 Do you see it?
04:45 Do you see it?
04:47 Okay, sprinkle, sprinkle.
04:49 French girl makeup is really like red lipstick.
04:52 They will put like maybe just concealer,
04:53 a little bit of blush, mascara and lipstick.
04:57 Yeah, it's very simple.
04:59 I will use MAC and this is the gold deposit.
05:03 It's like a highlighter as well.
05:06 I'm going to do eyeliner,
05:13 but I'm not going to do a full eyeliner.
05:15 I will only put it on the ends.
05:17 Silence.
05:18 Can we just admire the wing and highlight, okay?
05:26 So my next step, we're going to use mascara.
05:29 Givenchy, Dysturbia.
05:31 You know, there are some models that I really like.
05:34 Imane Hamon, she is just joyful.
05:38 I don't know, every time when she walks,
05:39 so it's just like, damn girl, she got it.
05:42 She is so stunning.
05:43 I really like, you know, the dark skin girl.
05:47 Anoc, attitude, everything, I love it.
05:50 And do not forget, of course, Precious Lee,
05:52 she is gorgeous.
05:54 And let's not end with, you know, Paloma.
05:57 You know, oh man.
06:00 I was too excited while doing my makeup.
06:03 So what you're going to do,
06:04 you don't even see it.
06:07 We're going to do it like this, whatever.
06:09 I still look cute anyway.
06:10 I love me a red lipstick.
06:12 One thing about me, I love red, okay?
06:15 It's either nude or red.
06:17 This is magic for the lips.
06:19 Look at this.
06:27 You can tell me nothing.
06:29 We're going to use Charlotte Tilbury, setting spray.
06:33 I think I should add some earrings.
06:37 My look is complete.
06:42 Classic French girl makeup.
06:44 A la Colette.
06:45 Thank you for watching.
06:46 See you next time.
06:47 [kissing]
06:48 Bisous.
