She was the popess of Miss France. The icon, Geneviève de Fontenay, passed away at the age of 90 following a cardiac arrest in her sleep. Besides her subtly controlled gala outfits, she has never committed any infidelity to her historical makeoverseeming to be frozen in time.
Red lips and black rimmed eyes
Geneviève de Fontenay sealed her beauty look from her first election as Miss Elegance in 1957. To enhance her luscious lips, the one who reigned over the biggest French beauty contest opted for a lipstick bright with coral shades and glossed texture. A shiny finish that did not fail to illuminate her make-up with finesse. For the look, the former model gave pride of place to liner black. Matt and thick, the latter came to line the contour of the eye starting from his eyelid to the lower eyelash. She blended it slightly so as to obtain a slight smokey eyes magnifying her irises. In order to draw light to this smoky gaze, the unbeatable figure of beauty stretched her eyeliner with a grey, metallic eye shadow, to the hollow of her eyebrows. Thus her eyelids captured the shine, harmonizing the whole of her beauty treatment. Finally, for the complexion, Geneviève de Fontenay had no other attractions than for the Bronzing powder. After unifying her complexion and structuring her eyebrows, the one who will have conquered the hearts of the French, underlined her cheekbones with sun powder in order to embellish her radiant face.
The queen of the pulled bun
Geneviève de Fontenay has always appeared adorned with her traditional black and white wide brim hat. Mythical accessory accompanying her most sophisticated outfits, always monochrome, she has never deviated from it. Under this emblematic piece of fashion, the French icon took care of her hairstyle: a flat bun, pulled up high, perfectly studied. She wrapped her hair in a net to protect your lengths and moderate volume load under his headgear. If the “lady in the hat” will have marked the spirits by her status within the Miss France committee and her legendary outspokenness, we will never forget the symbol of French elegance and chic represented by Madame de Fontenay.
