[@justineleconte]

The eyebrow video is here 😉: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJiXfHuphKx-Zrc

[@coastandmountains2171]

Justine is just so pleasant to listen to :')

[@margauxgf]

So agree!!

[@makeupdarling6171]

She sure is. ☺️

[@SingingASMRSongs]

Yes please, do a brow video 😊

[@mariamkh441]

I agree on the brow video 😍 I think it's important nowadays regarding there are many manyy brow trends out there

[@kkobvestila8813]

For me too

[@MariaSCarr]

Karen Singing ASMR YES! The most flattering brow shapes for your face. Also, the most flattering ways to "style" them?

[@acninee]

I thought brow was done, but perhaps not. What would interest me in brow is something beyond the classic proportions. As we age, our brows become thinner, or lighter, or more coarse. They droop. I would be very interested in information about how to address these things. What are the best products for darkening or thickening, yet avoiding the look of a brow that is drawn on? What makeup or treatment around the brow will appear to raise or even it, without recourse to lifting surgery? Or how can one work with the aging brow to make it look groomed and refined, but still natural and age appropriate?

[@mariewagner5283]

Plus there's so many different methods nowadays to care for them or change them. Which methods work best for the natural way your brows are? Stuff like that!

[@MehdiScent]

Would you please talk about your top fragrances?? Thank you so much 🙌🙌🙌👏👏

[@gabbyling7142]

She has a video on them

[@MehdiScent]

Gabby Ling I know but I meant new list... thank you for reminding anyway 👍

[@MildlyRabid]

Or the art of choosing your fragrance

[@MehdiScent]

Emily Martin absolutely great idea

[@gabrijelalozancic2840]

If Justine doesn't make a video, look up Jeremy Fragrance here on youtube. He is a dedicated perfumerist ;)

[@ilahhusich9153]

Can you make a video on original styles of the biggest fashion houses, that they are known for? Their main colours, prints, fabrics etc? For example- Chanel- tweed jacket and what else? Versace- colour yellow and so on.

[@mmn958]

I would love to see this as well!

[@JClover2]

Fantastic idea!

[@alp7928]

What a great idea!

[@josephinewinter]

wow, that would be my absolute favourite, she is so knowledgeable about fashion and clothing history, i always learn so much!

[@58aastha]

Its a great idea

[@sonjameyer3796]

I would love a lingerie video

[@aditighosh4926]

Me too

[@AvecPoesie]

Wonderful suggestion! French lingerie is legendary for its beauty, appeal, and quality and I'd love to hear Justine's point of view about it!

[@blowurn0se]

Sonja Meyer yesss!

[@sxs311]

I second the lingerie and eyebrow videos! you have made me so much more aware of the quality of the clothes I buy so a lingerie video would be great. and I really like your view on proportions and how you view the body as shapes, if that makes sense, so an eyebrow video would be very interesting!

[@justineleconte]

Thank you 😘

[@annmark9150]

More Q & A please! Love your videos - Happy Spring!

[@maroulio2067]

Enjoyable chat, Justine! I really appreciate the hair care mention as I am growing my hair longer.

[@glassanddiaphane]

Awesome q&a! I really love your videos, I learn something new everytime from fashion and the way you keep your creativity growing. Thank you for sharing it with us.

[@nureinherz]

You are so reliable with the links and other information in the description box, thank you, I really appreciate that.

[@anaandrade5277]

Yes! I would be very interessed in an eyebrown design history and harmony! Thnak you justine! Always the greatest videos!

[@lisasusanna7896]

Justine, if you haven't done one already, can you do a video on how to dress to compliment a long torso?

[@lenieczka]

You come across as a very warm person and the way you talk about your passion for fashion is very inspirational. Looking forward to the videos you mentioned in your Q&A :)

[@donnamainord7633]

Justine, I always enjoy your videos. May Spring add many colors to your life.

[@ievamelbarde3294]

Thank you for the video! You always make me smile :) Have a sunny spring! :)

[@lisawakefield6994]

Thank you for another informative video. I always learn something and look forward to your videos.

[@OlderWomenRock]

I enjoy your videos Justine . I love your earthy no fuss approach . It’s sooo refreshing 😊🙏

[@lailanilsson6553]

Thank you Justine! Nice video. Interesting that you mentioned 15-century period. Never thought about that period in time. Good questions from the subscribers. Have a great week.

[@paularocha883]

Great content as always Justine! Thanks for sharing 😊

[@mariannechevrier7908]

Thank you for answering my question! Very inspirational, as always!

[@simonatoader1193]

Omg! I just saw that you uploading a new video and you did your hair routine, just like I asked you. You literally made my day seem better. I do not have words to describe how HAPPY I am. Thank you so so much. In my eyes, you're the most beautifull and professional youtuber! Love from Romania ❤❤❤❤💌💌

[@MrKikopr]

Thank you Justine for your comprehensive advise. As a man I try to implement those that pertain to me in my daily routine as much as possible.

[@kavitashankar3834]

Yes Justine .... a video pls on eye brow & full hair care routine

[@09TessMc]

Thank you! I just ordered the book, I've been looking for that. I got an old Singer from my mother in law, all metal, that can sew over anything. Thank you Justine, lovely and informative as always.

[@sabaasif1591]

Thank you for creating yet another amazing video! Thank you!!

[@cafefay]

Great advice regarding the sewing machine! I got my 1973 Singer rehabbed for $140 and the older gent that did the work said it was money well spent as it was metal and had tons of life left in it. Straight and zig zag, basic machine and works like new💚

[@heidilarson5109]

I'm looking forward to the series on iconic clothing that has changed the world!

[@jreyas6263]

I grew up with no guidance on clothes, hair or make up. I appreciate no nonsense instruction. I watched Martha Stewart to learn how to cook when raising my kids. I now watch Justine to learn about hair, etc. Thank you!

[@carolineholzwarth6360]

Always enjoy your content. Very thoughtful.

[@leftybelle7022]

You are just plain wonderful. Informative, classy and charismatic. Thank you for this video, and all your videos!

[@sayalijadhav6046]

Justine just keep talking, I can keep listening to you. I love you so so much ❤️

[@korieb6762]

Yes! Would love a brow video!

[@valfletcher9285]

I love Out of Africa for clothing...my long time fave. Thank you so much for ALL of this advice.

[@ablaqp123]

You have a very pleasant personality. I’ve just found you a couple of days ago and I’m fascinated with your channel. Thank you for all the advice in fashion, etc.... merci beaucoup!

[@micheku1219]

I love your videos! They’re so informative!

[@calmandcool8229]

Hi Justine, I am amazed at how much energy you have and I love how you said you don't worry too much about security. That's great. I am like that too. I don't strive to own a home because I want freedom to pick up and go live wherever I may want. Things like that are important for me so I never feel stuck!! All the best to you lovely lady!!

[@elizabethploetz132]

Justine, are there any books / role models / etc. that inspire you and help you not worry too much about security? I'm just curious if there is any resource you can point to that you draw inspiration from regarding this topic, especially during challenging times. I think this characteristic of your content is exactly why (as a scientist with, typically, little fashion interest) I enjoy watching your videos. You are really brave and confident, and I respect that a lot. Thank you for your videos!

[@anaeden6229]

Love that so many women feel this way! I left Alaska at 19 on a whim and love the idea of being able to go anywhere I want in the world! 💕

[@williamkazak]

Thank you Justine. Very informative. French culture, fashion and more.

[@anastasiakonkova9400]

Thanks for answering my question! That video is very informative!

[@croitoriafaraformule]

Thank you, Justine, for answering my question. I feel the same way towards my manequin, I am glad I am not the only one :-)

[@EstefaniaSantosIllustration]

Thank you Justine for the recommendations :) I bought the book and I am looking forward for it!! Love your videos!!

[@user-qq6ok4qj5k]

Justine, you are the best! We love you!

[@nadinewittig1938]

Thank you for your interesting themes and elegant explanations, always looking for the next one :) I would also like to see a brow video. Salut!

[@christiannemclaverty5836]

Super interesting, and always helpful & articulate😃

[@marcie_atl]

I just adore you. I could listen to you for hours and it’s not just the accent, but that does add to it! Haha. You’re so warm and charismatic but my favorite thing about you is how intelligent and informative you are. I leave your videos a better person with more knowledge and that is IRREPLACEABLE. You’re just the best. (Side Note: I took French for years and to be honest I’ve forgotten most of it, but I recently found out that I’ve been living a lie; my parents are Dutch and I thought I was fully Dutch but it turns out that I’m actually half French and never knew until a recent ancestry test! Oh la la)

[@TheCurlyclub]

Great advice as usual, thanks.

[@siaeva]

Great question on the sewing book - grateful for the suggestion :)

[@syearty5621]

Thanks, Justine! This was perfect timing for me! I have just changed careers because in my former career I had no time to be creative, be in nature, or take care of myself properly. I have never known a lot about sewing, but have been thinking a lot about getting into it. I really had no idea where to start, except that there are things I know can be done to pieces in my wardrobe to make them look better. I always appreciate your kind attitude in sharing information. I'm sure people say this all the time to you, but you are an inspiration for me to be more comfortable with myself. Blessings and peace!

[@isabellchloe]

Memoirs of a Geisha is my favorite movie, sending love from Norway

[@Thegardenwhatcanbedone]

Yes the Reader's Digest sewing book is amazing.

[@emmjaechi]

I enjoyed this q & a, merci Justine😊

[@samanthakyte8564]

What you said about your life's motto was actually very inspiring! Responsibility yet opportunity - love it! I watch quite a few of your videos - you were my inspiration to really think about my sense of style and look to buying a few quality items that I wear repeatedly but they will last me ages. Your Capsule Wardrobe video really made me declutter my wardrobe as well... a much needed chore that feels now it's done but I don't think I come under the minimalist category :P Love your videos :)

[@stephdaulton3604]

Memoirs of a Geisha is my fave of all time❤❤❤❤❤

[@carolannthornton1918]

I rely on you!! Your spirit, expertise, and wonderful panoramic view of fashion inspires me so much and brings joy every Sunday!!!

[@justineleconte]

Thank you kindly!

[@irinaklimenko2430]

Thank you for another interesting video! I wish they were more videos from the French series!

[@pdmullgirl]

Yes! Love your channel! You are so kind. Justine, please do a brow video!! ❤️💜💚

[@maddscientist3170]

my sewing machine is metal ...got it when I was 18yrs. old (used Mom's before that).....still going after 50yrs. ........very simple: straight, zig-zag & "stretch" stitch...it is all you need. I would like to have a serger tho.........

[@alicestein9871]

Gut vorbereitetes und ehrliches Video! Dankeschön

[@no1pinkjellybean]

The Reader's Digest is great! Many sewing books try to copy it

[@mediumpurple4994]

My goodness! My question was answered! Wow! Thank you so much, Justine! 🙏 I will use your criteria on future adventures at a thrift shop hahah Thank you 💜

[@sandybowman0703]

Yes please to the brow video.....loved your Q&A .... Sandy 💕🥂

[@Slivings911]

I have had that Readers Digest sewing book for eons! I also have the Readers Digest book for embroidery/needlework. Excellent books.

[@shirleyens7707]

I have the Reader's Digest Needlework book, a gift from my mother. Great resource. I taught knitting and used it all the time myself and for my students.

[@cassliew3269]

Salut Justine! Love your videos! I'd love a full video on eyebrows too and your view on microblading eyebrows (it is pretty common now in asia). Merci! 😊

[@mariadej.torresdelatorre1345]

You are a very polite person answering people that follow you, French Woman is known by her self confidence, it defines her personality, it is my personal opinion, I noticed that in Paris. Nice video full of smart information.

[@luckyDancer100]

I was always asking for haircare haha. So thank you Justine 😊

[@danaryon6409]

You are so kind. I adore your tons of information! I'm 5' 9" so understand!

[@kostanabanjac4896]

Very much enjoyed, as usual 🤗🥰

[@baileyondricek5041]

The first thing I thought of when you started talking about costumes is the movie Mirror Mirror with Lily Collins. I gasped at every new gown! There’s so much detail in the costuming.

[@eleanorbarsic8065]

Not a question-just thinking of you and the notre dome :Our hearts are with you! It was heart breaking to see the pictures. Thank goodness so much thought had been put to how to respond to this 160yrs ago when it was last struck by such tragedy. Trees are ready to rebuild (and amazingly, all the statues had just been removed last week for remodeling). We know how it feels to loose such iconic buildings. But it is not lost forever and it will remain the beautiful icon of France and place of awe and worship for people, the world over, to come and connect with (or re-connect. Thinking of you all as you process and mourn and re-build!

[@shirleygibbs7440]

Great video, Justine! Enjoyed your answers to questions. I love the 13th & 14th Centuries and am an avid midieval historical fiction reader! Well researched, if course! I'm currently looking at your jewelry collection... again! And am deciding which pieces I NEED❣😏 I especially love your wide silver interlocking "cris-cross" silver ring you always wear on your right(?) middle finger. I don't see that in your collection though. I like the D- ring, too. And the Diane necklace! 😊 And more! Thank you, Justine, for sharing your broad fashion expertise! 😁💞💞

[@dellenebecker4610]

This was so much fun and your top is gorgeous :)

[@gailspear2173]

I loved all you French style in clothes video they are very stylish to watch over and over so one for each season would be great

[@dabriashae]

Every time you start a video with that smile I just feel so at home. Your videos are my soft spot to land on KZbin. ❤️

[@justineleconte]

Thank you 💛

[@labellaiza6670]

I would love an eyebrow and a linguerie video! I would also love a video about how to pack a small suitcase with outfits that can be easily transformed into several looks...

[@annoldham3018]

Bless you Justine. My husband and son have long torsos too.

[@immortalazure]

This is wonderful love your life motto, and love readers digest sewing book.

[@_milkywayicecream4990]

hearing your voice makes me smile while watching 🐥

[@drawingout.net-vmcg]

Thank you Justine...really enjoyed the Q&A. I would love a video on brows with references to face shape, balance, shaping and colouring. That is, if you have time...

[@susanmazzanti5643]

I have a Singer that I bought new in the mid 1950's. It is a very heavy machine that will sew a beautiful stitch over several layers of thick fabric. You have to oil it and change the needle and I love it.

[@ameerahalgohary]

Your smile is so pretty and cheerful :)) Thanks for the informative fum video.

[@loredelore7286]

Great book. The most comprehensive book written on sewing and dress making.

[@sampadaregmi5107]

perfect timing

[@darkestuberwald1725]

I just enjoy your French accent so much Music to my ears

[@CrankyBubushka]

Interesting you mentioned sewing machines. You are so right about the cheap plastic ones. I have been through several. I bought a second hand Husquarvarna sewing machine last year. I have to get it tuned up, but it is all metal with all these interesting attachments to it. It looks like you can sew anything on it. I am so excited to play with it.

[@katherinemargeson8082]

I love your philosophy!

[@isabellapattinson1437]

Loved the video. I enjoyed the questions. Love you and love your channel.

[@justineleconte]

Thanks!

[@seriouslyinsanediva]

I've enjoyed your videos for over a year now. Always interesting. In regards to Shopping second hand I must say that after having been in the fashion industry for over thirty years now I trully find more value in buying the best possible quality for the lowest possible price in the second hand and vintage market than shopping full price for low quality in trendy fast fashion shops. There is enough offered out there that you never have to settle for something stained or damaged. Cheers!

[@michellesciuk3594]

Yes please eyebrow video!

[@rebeccamelia7135]

I love your smile!

[@jukes243]

Oh yes please Justine. A brow video. Thank you.

[@christinat.7171]

Enjoyed your video. Always learn something. See you next time!!😊❤❤

[@joannekerr8839]

Yes please, to a whole video on eyebrows - love your work :)

[@Aleexv33]

About the crop top question when I don't feel like showing my belly with crop tops I go for high-waisted jeans or a skirt. I can totally see that working for a mature woman or for women who are moms and may have stretch marks or other stuff that they may feel insecure about but want to wear them, great to show off the curves but not the belly! I love your videos Justine, I could hear you talking all day!

[@gorejs8396]

Merci, Justine! Delightful, as always: you convey such an engaging sense of lightness & playfulness, floating just above a solid foundation of knowledge, research, & experience. And it's always fun to hear what people ask you about. The hair questions are inevitable (but I'm glad you answered!), & the thrifting one was unexpected. What body shape is considered fashionable changes over time, & in thrift shops it's fun to see what was considered the average or ideal body shape in different eras. Because we're generally getting taller, tall people are at a bit of a disadvantage in thrift shops, but your idea of going for outerwear is a great solution.

[@justineleconte]

Thanks for all the compliments!

[@annescanapico2181]

That was so informative, thank you

[@tfloyd6651]

I love your cover photos on this one. They made me smile. 😆😆😆😆

[@carolinacastillo923]

Great video as always Liebe Justine! It would be great another "French Stye" video!! LG
