I may have binged the entire second season of Emily in Paris weeks ago (right when it came out and maybe, just maybe, all in one sitting), but that doesn't mean I'm not still flying high on the show's delectable spread of beauty looks. Every single episode is an obvious feast for hungry eyes in terms of the outfits and fashion, but the screenshot-worthy hairstyles and makeup moments are still living in my brain (and inspiration boards) rent-free.

So when I was presented with the opportunity to chat with the show's on-set hairstylist, Mike Desir, and makeup artist, Aurélie Payen, about their treasure trove of beauty staples, I couldn't have accepted the offer more quickly. Curious to see which skincare, makeup, and hair elixirs the pros behind all of your fave Emily in Paris beauty moments swear by? Keep scrolling!

Beauty Director

Erin has been writing a mix of beauty and wellness content for Who What Wear for over four years. Prior to that, she spent two and half years writing for Byrdie. She now calls Santa Monica home but grew up in Minnetonka, Minnesota, and studied writing, rhetoric, and communication at University of Wisconsin, La Crosse. She studied abroad in Galway, Ireland, and spent a summer in L.A. interning with the Byrdie and Who What Wear family. After graduating from UW, she spent one year in San Francisco, where she worked as a writer for Pottery Barn Kids and PBteen before moving down to L.A. to begin her career as a beauty editor. She considers her day-to-day beauty aesthetic very low-maintenance and relies on staples like clear brow serum (from Kimiko!), Lawless's Lip Plumping Mask in Cherry Vanilla, and an eyelash curler. For special occasions or days when she's taking more meetings or has an event, she'll wear anything and everything from Charlotte Tilbury (the foundations are game-changing), some shimmer on her lids (Stila and Róen do it best), and a few coats of the best mascara-type product on earth, Surratt's Noir Lash Tint.
