LancĂ´me x Emily in Paris: Brand Ambassador Lily Collins on the New Collection, Beauty, and Self-Care
Everyoneâs favourite Parisian âitâ girl is back in town. The second season of Emily in Paris is set to premiere on 22 December â and LancĂ´me is celebrating with a new beauty collection inspired by the show's star, and the French luxury brand's ambassador, Lily Collins.
When the first season of Emily in Paris aired in 2020, it quickly became a hit â reaching 58 million households in the month after its debut, as well as receiving one Emmy and two Golden Globe award nominations. Starring and produced by actress Lily Collins, the Netflix series follows marketing executive Emily Cooper as she begins a new life in Paris.
With the second season set to premiere in the coming week, LancĂ´me is celebrating with a special "LancĂ´me x Emily in Paris" collaborative beauty collection comprising makeup and skincare. After all, Collins has been a LancĂ´me Ambassador for eight years now. "Iâve always admired LancĂ´meâs loyalty to their Ambassadors, and to their customers. I donât think I expected a huge company like LancĂ´me to feel as small as it does; it really feels like a family," she says.
The limited-edition collection has everything you need for all-day dewy skin, bold lips, and intense eyes: a 12-pan heart-shaped eye palette (featuring chocolate browns, rosy mauves and smoky silvers), the Advanced GĂŠnifique Serum, and lipsticks in creamy rose beige and classic matte red.
We chat with actress and LancĂ´me ambassador Lily Collins about how she uses beauty items from the collection, her self-care routine, and her feelings on community...

You're the face of LancĂ´meâs Advanced GĂŠnifique Youth Activating Serum. How do you work GĂŠnifique into your routine?
I love the serum and I love the hydrogel melting mask, which I use whenever I have a big job or been travelling or just want to feel like Iâm having a spa experience at my house. Theyâre the most wonderful things. Also, Iâve started using the Advance GĂŠnifique serum with my foundation. I add a few drops with the Teint Idole Ultra Wear foundation and mix it all together. It just glides on for a very light look but with great coverage.
Are you a mascara enthusiast?
This is, maybe, a pretty obvious statement but as an actor, you emote through your eyes first. It doesnât matter what you sayâ as long as you are present and awake and emotive through your eyes, then anyone can understand the state youâre in and the emotion that youâre feeling. And so to accentuate the eyes is something that I always have to do.
Have you been practising self-care more lately? What have you been doing?
I totally have. I think self-care can come in many forms, whether it be therapy, meditation, reading a book, or having an amazing cup of coffee. We havenât been able to go out and get our nails done or go to the spa. Instead, Iâve been finding that joy in wearing a face mask, having a bath, taking a walk outside, reading a meditation book in the morning, writing in a gratitude journal. And just taking a moment for myself. I think itâs easy to confuse the fact that weâve had so much time at home with self-care time but theyâre not the same.
You're outspoken in your support for female empowerment. Does this cause remain close to your heart?
Yes, and I believe it starts with me. Because when you feel empowered, you can then empower others. Itâs the same as how, until you feel comfortable and confident and love yourself, you canât be the best version of a partner or a sister or brother, a friend, a colleague.
Community is important to you. Tell us about that.
Itâs very important and I think that can mean a physical community, but it can also be an emotional or spiritual community. Community is when you connect with people that are willing to share and be there for you and vice versa. I think that when you have a strong sense of community, you can be the best version of yourself because you feel like even when youâre feeling low, youâll have the support there to lift you up. It makes you feel a part of something greater.
