Héléna Bailly: From Star Academy to Beauty Expert
Once a semi-finalist in the 11th season of Star Academy, Héléna Bailly is now stepping into the spotlight as she launches her debut album, ‘Hélé’, on March 14. To celebrate, she takes on the role of our editor-in-chief for the day, sharing her go-to beauty tips and favorite products. With Héléna’s insights, you can easily incorporate her skincare and makeup favorites into your own routine.
Héléna admits that her beauty regimen hasn’t always been as extensive as it is today. “In the past, I relied solely on a Yves Rocher moisturizer,” she reflects. However, after working with professional makeup artists, her approach to beauty has transformed. Now, she boasts a comprehensive skincare routine that includes Typology’s nine-ingredient moisturizer, Charlotte Tilbury’s eye cream, Givenchy’s facial cleanser, and Caudalie’s Vinoclean cleansing oil.
Essential Beauty Products for Everyday Glam
The singer is passionate about makeup and feels incomplete without her lip contour or perfectly manicured nails. “I love it, I love makeup,” she shares. Among her daily essentials, mascara holds a special place. “If I don’t have mascara, I don’t feel good,” she confesses, noting that her naturally light lashes are almost blonde at the tips. To enhance her blue eyes, she swears by the Benefit Badgal mascara, which adds both length and volume. “I’ve been using that one for years and no other,” she states confidently.
For her brows, Héléna opts for an affordable option—a transparent eyebrow gel from Hema, priced under 6 euros. To achieve a radiant complexion, she adores Yves Saint Laurent blushes, whether in liquid or powder form. For a sun-kissed look, she relies on Rare Beauty’s Warm Wishes Effortless Bronzer Stick. Completing her beauty routine is a signature lip combo featuring a Charlotte Tilbury lip contour and a lighter lipstick. Héléna even highlights her blue eyes with gray eyeshadow, a look she showcased in the music video for her song ‘Mauvais garçon’.
In the world of fragrances, Héléna Bailly has also undergone a transformation. After wearing the same scent, Cacharel’s Amor Amor, for a decade, she decided it was time for a change. She now embraces a more sophisticated aroma with Million Gold for Her eau de parfum by Rabanne Fragrances. This floral and sensual fragrance features notes of white flowers, jasmine, and ylang-ylang, making it a perfect fit for her evolved style. A bottle of Million Gold for Her starts at 81 euros.
