Benedetta Porcaroli and Violette: June Vogue Italia Interview

Benedetta Porcaroli and Violette: June Vogue Italia Interview

The author has two daughters whose names are short, sharp. They’re just names: in themselves they don’t mean anything, they have a derivation (of course!), but you have to look for it. Many names are like this, but not all. Some are with clear, immediate meaning. Names that potentially have destiny. This is the case of Violetta, a woman who has made color and its infinite nuances work: she Guerlain Makeup Creative Director, and then there’s so blessedwho has a surname
Porcaroli, Italian actress among the most interesting people of her generation, How Benedetta is “blessed” will be discussed (and make you smile a little) at the end of this interview. An interview which is also a meeting. And travel a bit.

Hello both. How are you?
Purple Well! Also because it was the first time I slept since my second daughter was born
a whole night
blessed porcaroli busy and happy.

Violet, in an interview you said that you shouldn’t wear makeup every day because it’s important to accept your skin the way it is. how is your skin Do you like that?
Woe My skin is moody, sensitive to what happens to me. With time I learned to understand it and therefore love it. I predict this.
BP Extension I’ve been taking great care of my skin for a few years now, it’s a habit I just can’t give up-
King. And anyway I agree with Violet.

Talking About Makeup and Mood: Do You Wear More Makeup When You’re Happy or When You’re Sad?
Woe Well, if I’m down in the dumps I really don’t want to.
BP Extension In fact, they are two opposite ways of reacting. But yes, I also decide not to wear makeup sometimes
as a “gesture of protest”.

What was the first beauty product you ever bought?
Woe A black pencil I think.
BP Extension A black pencil or eyeshadow. When I was 14, I did a lot of eye makeup. Maybe too much.

The product you always have with you.
Woe A red and matte lipstick. Color gives me strength.
BP Extension Variety of matte nude lipsticks, I would have at least 5 or 6.

The one beauty mistake you’ll never make again?
Woe I used a lot of black pencil to make my eyes. One day I stopped and my friends told me: finally!
BP Extension I drew my eyebrows in a hyper dark and defined way. I haven’t done that now. Your first beauty gesture of the day.

And last thing.
Woe First thing: I wash my face, but only with water. And before sleeping I apply perfume. It’s a “small” gesture that always makes me feel snuggly and sexiest.
BP Extension I remove makeup in the evening, I wash my face in the morning.

The historical period in which you wished you lived.
Woe How nice it would have been to be an assistant to a Renaissance painter!
BP Extension Undoubtedly the 1920s, a brilliant period for fashion and fundamental to the emancipation of women.

Violet, what kind of beauty does this photoshoot represent?
Woe Shooting is a celebration of Benedetta, in which touch of sophistication that comes from makeup.

The goal is to strike a balance between the two. What are your next personal and professional projects?
Woe Right now I’m very focused: Guerlain is an incredible treasure and my goal is to show it to as many people as possible. Writing a new chapter for Mason takes commitment and in fact, before accepting the role, I wanted to make sure I could do it. My focus, currently, is on updating some of the formulas and giving a twist to the image. Once this process is over, it will be time to amaze with unexpected and… fun products and textures!
BP Extension I’ll be Madonna (laughs, Ed, rather a rebellious and moving madonna the gospel according to mary by Paolo Zucca. see me later in the horror movie Nirmal with Sidney Sweeney and finally in a dedicated Netflix TV series Leopard,

«To create the new Guerlain colors I draw inspiration from everything: fashion, nature, my daughter’s cheeks. What is “beauty” never. These are the examples I bring to the lab: things that just don’t exist. It means writing a new chapter». Purple

Are you where you want to be?
Woe I’ve forgotten.
BP Extension To be honest, I did not think that I would be where I am now. Then at some point I got used to this idea. I get to do work that I love, so that helps a lot.

Appreciate yourself.
Woe I am stronger than I think. I have faced pregnancy, childbirth, child birth. all twice.
BP Extension I am very generous, determined and determined. I am tough and I never give up. For better or for worse.
