We've got some très incroyable news — a makeup artist from "Emily in Paris" just spilled the tea on the beauty looks that everyone has been obsessing over from EIP Season 3. That's right, we have the scoop on everything from Emily's post-breakup trauma bangs and eye-catching shades of lipstick to Mindy's performance glam and Camille's "I-woke-up-like-this" beauty look.

Aurélie Payen, Paris-based makeup artist and supervisor of "Emily in Paris" Season 3, told Page Six that she wanted each character to have an identity that was expressed through their look. "Some of them I wanted them to be more American glam, and some of them I wanted to be more [of a] French makeup look," Payen explained.

Season 3 Emily is no longer the naive American tourist that she once was — the social media influencer is learning French, adapting to the Parisian workflow, and dating a European beau (Team Alfie, WYA?!) so naturally, her makeup reflects her multi-cultural experience. Payen notes that Emily straddles the line between two worlds. "She's very French in the way she wears makeup, but she still has really bold, strong lips, which is more American,” Payen clarifies. "[Her styles] make a nod to Audrey Hepburn."

Audrey isn't the only Golden Age Hollywood star that served as inspo in the "Emily in Paris" makeup chair. Camille, played by Camille Razat, often rocks a super-chic winged eyeliner inspired by actress Brigitte Bardot. The French gallery owner typically appears on-screen with a fresh makeup style also seen on Sylvie (Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu), with a focus on "minimal foundation, [...] less contouring and more blush," according to Payen. Mindy Chen (Ashley Park), on the other hand, tends to favor sparkles and more contouring.

As for how to get the Netflix magic by yourself at home, Payen recommends paying close attention to skin prep before even unzipping your makeup bag. The makeup artist uses an LED light therapy mask and face mist on the skin before applying a foundation/concealer mixture in minimal amounts. And when it comes to recreating that "French Girl" glow, blush is the key — Payen spills that she puts "blush on the nose as well to give that little sunshine on your face.” Say less — now excuse us while we revamp our makeup bag...
