"   When Laure H\u00E9riard Dubreuil moved from Paris to Miami some five years ago to open chic retail mecca The Webster, she introduced Americans both to a new way of shopping high-fashion labels and a new way of thinking about understated personal style. H\u00E9riard Dubreuil is admired around the world for her effortlessly chic fashion sense, whether dressed in head-to-toe Tom Ford or Emilio Pucci paired with Azzedine Ala\u00EFa. It&amp;#039;s a sensibility that has been honed throughout her career\u2014where she has worked alongside Nicolas Ghesqui\u00E8re at Balenciaga and headed up the merchandising team at Yves Saint Laurent. It&amp;#039;s also a product of her French upbringing. We caught up with H\u00E9riard Dubreuil during the spring 2014 ready-to-wear shows to get her personal take on Parisian beauty. How do American and French women approach beauty differently? Laure H\u00E9riard Dubreuil: Regular blowouts and manicures are a routine in the U.S. I especially embrace the mani-pedi places that are always open with such reasonable prices here in New York City, and I miss them in Paris. French women prefer neutral colors on their nails. I love Chanel Le Vernis Nail Colour in Ballerina. Parisian women also have a minimal hair routine. They are more into the just-rolled-out-of-bed hair look. And we tend to let our hair air-dry. In terms of makeup, we don&amp;#039;t wear much foundation (hence the importance of skin care), but lipstick is key. My favorite shades are by Nars, and I love M.A.C mascara. I am also totally addicted to the Nars Multiple sticks. I use a little bit everywhere, so they are very convenient\u2014especially when I travel! So you place larger emphasis on skin care over makeup? Yes I do. Beautiful skin is key and SPF is a must. I keep my face masks in the fridge and exfoliate at least two times a week What is your biggest beauty splurge? I enjoy a long massage so I get one as often as I can. I also splurge on Clarins Tonic Body Treatment Oil, which I use in the shower. (Since I became pregnant, I literally drench myself in it!) Fragrance is also very essential for the French, and I would love a bespoke fragrance by Francis Kurkdjian. One can dream Any favorite French pharmacy brands? Of course! Bioderma Eau Micellaire removes all of my makeup and is perfect for sensitive skin. And Fluocaril toothpaste is a must; it has a very specific taste but I grew up with it French women are admired around the world for their sense of beauty and fashion. How do Parisian women always look so effortlessly put together? It is not effortless, but it has to look that way! My advice is to build your wardrobe with timeless pieces and key accessories that are casual and stylish. Try an all-denim look or a little black dress. I also think when you are comfortable, you look your best. And my most intimate fashion secret is always wearing Eres lingerie. The fit, materials, and colors are so chic and empowering.
