The skinny on man-approved first date makeup.
Audrey Hepburn quotes
"The greatest victory has been to be able to live with myself, to accept my shortcomings...I'm a long way from the human being I'd like to be. But I've decided I'm not so bad after all." "Your heart just breaks, that's all. But you can't judge, or point fingers. You just have to be lucky enough to find someone who appreciates you." "The best thing to hold onto in life is each other." "Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, it's at the end of your arm, as you get older, remember you have another hand: The first is to help yourself, the second is to help others." "People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; never throw out anyone." "If I get married, I want to be very married." "Success is like reaching an important birthday and finding you're exactly the same." "I was asked to act when I couldn't act. I was asked to sing Funny Face when I couldn't sing, and dance with Fred Astaire when I couldn't dance - and do all kinds of things I wasn't prepared for. Then I tried like mad to cope with it." "I probably hold the distinction of being one movie star who, by all laws of logic, should never have made it. At each stage of my career, I lacked the experience." "Pick the day. Enjoy it - to the hilt. The day as it comes. People as they come... The past, I think, has helped me appreciate the present - and I don't want to spoil any of it by fretting about the future." "It's that wonderful old-fashioned idea that others come first and you come second. This was the whole ethic by which I was brought up. Others matter more than you do, so 'don't fuss, dear; get on with it.'" "I decided, very early on, just to accept life unconditionally; I never expected it to do anything special for me, yet I seemed to accomplish far more than I had ever hoped. Most of the time it just happened to me without my ever seeking it." "I love people who make me laugh. I honestly think it's the thing I like most, to laugh. It cures a multitude of ills. It's probably the most important thing in a person."
On elegance
For attractive lips, speak words of kindess. For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people. For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry. For beautiful hair, let a child run his fingers through it once a day. For poise, walk with knowledge you'll never walk alone. We leave you a tradition with a future. The tender loving care of human beings will never become obsolete. People even more than things have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed and redeemed and redeemed. Never throw out anybody. Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you'll find one at the end of your arm. As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands: one for helping yourself, the other for helping others. Your "good old days" are still ahead of you, may you have many of them. - Audrey Hepburn For all her chic thinness, she had an almost breakfast-cereal air of health, a soap and lemon on cleanness, a rough pink darkening on her cheeks. - Truman Capote, Breakfast At Tiffany's It's that wonderful old-fashioned idea that others come first and you come second. This was the whole ethic by which I was brought up. Others matter more than you do, so 'don't fuss, dear; get on with it. - Audrey Hepburn The only real elegance is in the mind; If you've got that, the rest really comes from it. - Diana Vreeland To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not, rich; to listen to stars and birds, babes and sages, with open heart; to study hard; to think quietly, act frankly, talk gently, await occasions, hurry never; in a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common - this is my symphony - William Ellery Channing I laugh, I love, I hope, I try, I hurt, I need, I fear, I cry. And I know you do the same things too, So we're really not that different, me and you. - Colin Raye A truly elegant taste is generally accompanied with excellency of heart. - Henry Fielding That is the key of this collection, being yourself. Don't be into trends. Don't make fashion own you, but you decide what you are, what you want to express by the way you dress and the way to live. - Gianni Versace She had a flair for doing things in a very elegant way. At the same time, you felt like you were right there in her living room. She paid attention to people so that she was seeing to it everyone's little needs and egos were met. - Harold Brooks Without elegance of the heart, there is no elegance. - YSL Beauty is not in the face; beauty is a light in the heart. - Kahlil Gibran That which is striking and beautiful is not always good, but that which is good is always beautiful. - Ninon de L'Enclos There is no charm equal to tenderness of heart. - Jane Austen
What is elegance?
Clothes are such a small part of what makes a person beautiful, don’t you agree? Here’s my incomplete and disorganized list of details that, to me, contributes to creating impalpable elegance. - How you carry yourself. A sporty allure, head held high like a princess, a cat-like stroll, the swagger of a tomboy. A certain way of sitting, a poised neck, the way the hands move… There are a million ways to inhabit your own body. Take Giovanna Battaglia for example. I would never know how to give a name to her stride that’s just so princess of cool. But what I do know, is that she could dress in a bag and she’d still be fantastic. - A sincere smile. Not a perfect smile, no. A radiant smile. Is it too cheesy to say that? That said, it’s so rare that I can’t think of an example right off the top of my head. Oh yeah! Clémence Poésy. Pfff. One smile and poof! You fall right away. - Ah! Having a great sense of humor, being able to laugh at yourself a little. It’s the thing that right away is so disarming to me, especially with men, or women, or kids, or my checkout clerk, or Woody Allen, or Scott, or Anna Dello Russo… - Attention to others. Have you ever met those people who, when he or she looks into your eyes, you feel like the most interesting person in the world? Who, with all sincerity, are curious about you? You remember my post about Peter Lindbergh? Not so much about fashion but woooooooooah, all about true seduction. - Politeness. It’s stupid, I know, and we never can learn it all, but knowing a few rules of politeness and being able to apply them naturally, without being obvious, goodness, it’s so chic. The British are so good at that. Jefferson Hack mixes punk and good manners with a virtuosity to fall for. - Ah, and I gotta include this because I admire it so much… Well-manicured people. I don’t know how they find the time, but these girls with painted nails, perfectly hydrated skin, glossy hair… I know a whole bunch, and I admire them all, but my favorite is my sister. Well, yeah, except for last time she tried to do my nails she messed them up with a polishing machine that looks more like a Black & Decker drill, but that’s how these things go : On me, it never works, that’s all = pffffffff. - Culture. Oh man, a sense of culture that isn’t flaunted, or in your face, but one that just shows that you are an open window to the world is soooo attractive! Like Caroline Issa, Sophie Fontanel, Salomé, my agent… I could spend entire days talking to them. My god, this post is dripping with sentimentality, and even if it feels good, it’s not the most elegant thing to talk about myself at the end of every paragraph. I’ve still got a ways to go, you know… But, what is elegance, for you? - Garance Dore

Bella Hadid @ Fashion For Relief Cannes 2018
I knew really well what I wanted - I wanted to work with certain people, I wanted to do this and do that. Determination is who I am. And then, of course, unlimited love for what I do. You know, I'm still really passionate about photography, about making people look beautiful, and taking pictures of them. If you don't love what you do, then change what you do. Take a different job. I'm as passionate as I was when I was 12 years old. That's the key.

In fashion and in life, you want to find your own style - what makes you feel good, what makes you look good. I think it gives you power and you can achieve better. Makeup is only good when it's an accessory to help you be yourself.
Francois Nars
The French are very laid-back about makeup. They never want to be a prisoner to it. When they see Instagram trends and heavy contouring, they get scared by that. It's good for a movie or on stage, but it's fantasy. They're more into transparent skin, maybe some red lipstick, maybe some mascara...they like reality more. Bring glamour to it, but in a very real way.
Francois Nars
A lipstick, an eyeliner is something a woman can use, and should use, to really put forward her strengths. She can totally control how she wants the world to see her — and she can also cover up her weaknesses if she wants to. For me if you use it well, it’s the strongest feminist weapon there is.
