Maquilleuse internationale ca ne veut rien dire. Ca depend de ta notorieté et de tes contrats si tu es en free-lance.
Et pour ecrire dans les revues ce sont des journalistes avec une specialisation en mode.

A mon avis tu devrais plutot faire des etudes de journalisme en te specialisant sur la mode/fashion.
Le maquillage c'est pas un metier qui te fera vivre confortablement.
navré de gacher tes reves. 😊

Nah Je sais tous ca. Justement je connais assez de monde pour pouvoir faire tous ce que je veux. Et tu saura quetre journaliste nest pas plus facile.. Tu peux etre pigiste longtemps avant davoir une job stable. Tu disais quetre maquilleuse nest pas tres payant.. Cest p-e vrai si tu travaille chez la coiffeuse du coin.. Mais je ne suis pas sur que Kevin Aucoin etait a sec...Il faut travailler fort pr etre reconnu...
Vanessaa
C'est vrai que c'est difficile d'être journaliste. Il faut savoir écrire sans fautes.
oui sans faute et aussi faut pas croire que tout le monde puisse devenir célébre. 😏
Ca serait super où tout le monde est célèbre et plus de place pour les non-mediatiques... Nouvelle mode de la société de consommation à qui on fait croire que le but ultime c'est d'etre célèbre 😛

Mince, j'aurais du faire chauffeur de taxi, je suis sûr qu'en travaillant dur j'aurais finis pilote de formule 1 .....🤪🤪
Eh oui tu as loupé ta vocation! chauffeur de taxi oui l'ideal pour ne pas savoir conduire mais aller vite oui ils savent le faire
😛
Yen a qui lon et dautre qui lon pas. Tu es qui toi pour juger ce que je suis et ce que je serai ou ne serai pas?
Toi est ce que tu es devenu ce que tu revais de devenir quand tu etais enfant? Jen suis pas certaine a voir la facon dont tu parle...
Le but ultime nest pas detre celebre au contraire ma belle.
Vanessaa
Fais gaffe Nemo, la pieuvre t'attaque !! 😎
En tout cas, tu es bien partie pour devenir célèbre sur le forum : 16 ans, inscrite depuis 4 jours et tu envoies déjà promener le monde !
Et en phonétique, parce que visiblement tu as trop fait l'école buissonnière pendant les cours de français. Et à propos d'école, tes parents sont d'accord pour que tu la quittes si tôt ?

en tout cas cé pas avec des etudes de maquillage tu vas devenir celebre sauf sur ce forum
😛
je ne juge pas mais dit simplement la realité dont tu sembles oublier tres vite. On dirait des filles qui veulent devenir des hotesses de l'air en voyant des films et en réalité c'est une serveuse et "sauveteuse" dans un avion.
😏
C'est bien vrai. Cela dit meme si elle devient célèbre (peu de chance si elle envoie bouler tout le monde au bout de 5 minutes) ce sera seulement pour un cercle très fermé, parce des maquilleuses connues j'en connais....aucune !! 😉
moi non plus je n'en connais pas. Pourtant je regarde TF1 M6 Fox RTL9 😛
Peut etre devrais-je regarder CBS, Bloomberg, CNN... 😏😏😏

Bonjour Vanessa,
Premièrement, je commencerais par définir ce que tu recherches exactement: étudier, ou voyager? Car ce n'est pas la même chose!
Si tu veux poursuivre tes études, sache qu'à l'étranger ça sera très, très, très couteux. Tu aurais intérêt à poursuivre tes études au Canada, et ensuite à aller chercher une formation complémentaire ou un stage à l'étranger pour parfaire tes connaissances.
Crois-moi, à 17 ans, on change souvent d'idée et de domaine d'études!! Quand tu sauras mieux dans quoi te lancer, tu pourras penser à aller étudier ailleurs, comme cela tu risques de ne pas gaspiller ton argent.
Ensuite, sache que le domaine de la mode est difficile d'accès, il faut beaucoup de talent mais aussi des contacts...tu devras travailler très très dur et en mode relation publiques.
Sur ce, bonne chance!

loll Je suis tres bonne en francais cest pour ca que je veux devenir redactrice seulement je ne me force pas pr bien ecrire sur un forum...
Tu sais on a pas le meme programme en Europe quau Canada. Je suis en secondaire 5 et cest la que fini lecole, Sauf si tu veux aller au cegep qui est pour vous la fac je crois... Nous on fini le secondaire a 18 ans... Alors cest normal
Vanessaa
Cest normal parce que tu ne dois pas connaitre ca vu que tu es un mek. Mais Kevin Aucoin, lui il etait tres celebre et il est deceder... Il y en a plein.. Cest juste quon ne parle pas des maquilleuses ni des coiffeurs dans les medias.
Vanessaa
Non, Cest juste que jai des reves et je sais ce que je veux. Je veux pas etre celebre a travers le monde je veux simplement quon me connaisse dans mon milieu. Jsuis consciente que cets pas facile la mode et quil y a tjrs quelqun pr te rabaisser. Mais comme je dis, je sais ce que je vaux et que jai bcp de talent dans les arts alors pk pas les exploiter hein?
Vanessaa
Je ne comprends pas pourquoi tu veux qu'on te connaisse dans ton milieu. Le but d'un métier est d'exercer sa passion, de gagner sa vie avec si possible, mais devenir connu n'est en rien une finalité, ca n'apporte rien du tout.
Mais bon, chacun ses motivations.
La France étant la capitale mondiale de la mode et bien en effet faire tes études ici me semble judicieux. Maintenant, c'est le genre de métier qu'on apprend sur le tas, par passion, et même s'il y a des écoles, elles sont très très chères, et ne garantissent en rien un métier par la suite.

Au fait, pourquoi la Californie ? Question mode je suis pas sûr que ça se passe là-bas....
Tu vois, la différence c'est que nous on n'est pas obligés de se forcer à bien écrire sur le forum, c'est naturel.
Alors, afin de vouloir infliger tes articles au monde entier, exerce-toi ici.
Je te souhaite d'arriver à réaliser ton rêve, mais tu devras t'accrocher et accepter les remarques/conseils sans monter sur tes grands chevaux. Tu en verras d'autres...

Mmm.. La californie parce que jaime le genre de vie quon y mene, les plages, le climat..Quoique tres different des gens Du Quebec ou je suis maintenant...Jai eu un coup de foudre...Ce serais + une ville ou je travaillerais mais pas longtemps vu quon ma dit que cets le genre dendroit ou tous lmonde soccupe de ses affaires.. Moi jaime bien la chaleur des québecois... Cest p-e plus pour prendre de lexperience
Vanessaa
Mais pour la mode il n'y a que 2 destinations majeures dans le monde : Paris et New York (enfin surtout Paris).
Donc pour bien commencer le mieux c'est Paris.

Ouiii..Faudrait que je regarde un peu ce que je veux vrmt faire.. Parce que jai pas vrmt economiser pr aller en Europe et je sais que cest vrmt cher... Et puis est ce que ca vaux vrmt la peine et tout...En faite je venais sur le site pour maider a prendre une decision :P P-e que jaurais meme pas lenvie daller etudier ailleurs.. P-e je devrais etudier ici parce que jentend souvent que les francais viennent etudier au QC vu que cest moin cher... et puis jirai travailler ailleurs si ca me dit..

Hi everyone,
I’ve got a job offer in Cebu and I’m currently negotiating the financial terms...
For those of you who are experienced or expats there, could someone help me evaluate the cost of living so I can get an idea of my monthly budget?
- Rent for an apartment or small house (2 people) - Miscellaneous expenses: utilities, electricity, phone, internet, insurance - Local taxes or fees?
Thanks for your help, tips, and experiences!

Hi,
I’m looking for real first-hand experiences from adults who’ve done a language stay in Canada, specifically in Vancouver or Toronto.
There are so many different schools and reviews that are both negative and positive (how can you tell if they’re genuine?!) that I’d rather hear from real people.
I’m looking for fun courses where you really make progress in speaking and comprehension. + Homestay accommodation: good or bad idea?
I’m 35—this would be a once-in-a-lifetime experience for me since I’ve dreamed about it since I was 17! I really don’t want to mess this up, especially given how much it costs!

Hi,
I’m leaving on September 4th for Vancouver as a tourist for 6 months.
My boyfriend works there, so I’m going to visit him. I’d like to take the opportunity to learn English at a school during October and November.
Could you recommend any schools—price, activities, location, reputation, etc.?
Also, any good health insurance suggestions?

Hi! I’m 76 and have traveled a lot in my life, and now I’m looking to settle in Réunion.
I’ve seen a retirement community in Saint-Pierre (Ravine des Cabris) and a residence called Village d’Or in Sainte-Clotilde. I have a feeling that living in Saint-Joseph might be better. I’ve submitted both applications and would love your thoughts—also if you know of any friendly small residences for rent, or if you have experience living there.
My pension is 1,460 €.
Thanks so much for your help! Looking forward to hearing from you—warm regards to everyone

After living for many years in the West (Belgium, Italy, Switzerland),
I’ve decided to return and settle in Cameroon, my home country.
Currently an entrepreneur in real estate and transport, I’m looking for a partner / partners / foundation to collaborate on an agriculture project, as I own 10 hectares of land.
The hectares have remained unused for years due to a lack of financial means, since the project requires what I’d call a considerable investment. As the main stakeholder, I have a minimal contribution to offer.
I believe it’s time to bring this space to life to meet pressing needs and serve the common good of society.
The project is simple:
1) Grow maize + build a processing plant to produce flour
2) Open a mini supermarket + a modern bakery using the flour for pastries, etc.
3) Build a healthcare service
4) Build a nursery and primary school
5) Construct free housing for retired expatriates in exchange for their voluntary contributions in their respective fields.
This is a project I truly believe in, and I invite anyone interested to add their personal touch—whether through advice, guidance, or involvement.
Note: This project has national and international potential in terms of employment.
My slogan: To be visibly useful to society
You’ve got to dare, even if it makes you tremble.

Hi everyone, my son’s school is offering him a one-month Erasmus trip to Ireland, but he has to find a junior cycle school that will accept him and a host family on his own. Honestly, we’re struggling—we’ve contacted two schools and haven’t heard back! If you have any leads...

Hi there,
I’m considering moving to Miami to live and work for a few years.
If anyone knows what the administrative formalities are—both for getting a work permit and for the steps and reputable organizations to contact (since I imagine there are scammers in this space) when buying a studio in Miami or Miami Beach—I’d love any info you can share!
Have a great day

Hi everyone,
I’m heading to Bangkok for a 5-month internship, and I’m wondering about the budget because I’ve read all sorts of things—so I decided to post here to get answers tailored to my situation! :D I found housing that costs me 7,000 baht (I know it’s a bit pricey, but it’s super convenient...), which works out to about 160 € all-inclusive. So, I was wondering if it’s realistic to live on 500 or 600 € per month, and if so, under what conditions? Is that enough, considering I’ll be working 40 hours a week?
Thanks in advance for your replies—I hope they’ll reassure me!

Hi everyone,
WEP offers loads of different projects, including one I really like: helping and volunteering on a farm, particularly in South America (Peru or Argentina).
I’d love to know if anyone has tried this project or knows someone who has... or has done something similar? I’d like to get some feedback before diving into the adventure.
If so, could you share your thoughts on the project, any tips, etc.?
Thanks to anyone who replies!

Hi there,
Our departure time is getting closer (we have less than 2 years left—it’s both a long time and so short!). To start preparing seriously, we’ll need quite a bit of info. If anyone knows the rates charged by movers for a crate to French Polynesia, or what pitfalls to avoid (I know you can get quotes directly from movers, but I’d love insights from actual customers😉).
Are there any special requirements before leaving France (aside from taxes...)?
Thanks to everyone for your help—every bit of info is useful. We’re aiming for a departure around 06/2010 (just need to save up a little more...). Thanks again!

Hi, I’m a self-employed physiotherapist in France, and as my wife (a nurse) and I look into working abroad in about two years, I’ve been offered an equivalence to become a respiratory physiotherapist in Switzerland. Actually, I’m currently doing a postgraduate diploma in pediatric respiratory physiotherapy and want to specialize in that area. Anyway, that’s not the main point—could anyone explain the pros and cons of doing this job in Switzerland? Based on the paperwork I’ve received, the equivalence seems purely administrative or almost... What about working conditions, quality of life, salaries, etc.?
Thanks for your replies. PS: Same question for my wife, a nurse, regarding her integration.
Thanks, Nicolas and Bérengère

Hi everyone!
I’m looking for information about jobs in early childhood in New Caledonia. I’m currently a childminder in a MAM (multi-accueil) and I’ve also worked for about 6 years in several daycare centers as a childcare assistant. In the summer of 2026, my husband is being transferred to New Caledonia. We’ll be living near Nouméa. Do you know if the early childhood sector is a good field for jobs there? Can’t wait to discover this island! Right now, we’re in the middle of all the administrative paperwork for our 3 kids, finding housing, bringing our cat to the territory, and so on! Thanks for your feedback!!

Hi everyone!
I’d like to move to Spain, specifically to Málaga. To do that, I’d like to know if I’ll need any official documents from France to work there, or anything like that... I’d also love to hear from people who’ve moved to Spain for work—do Spaniards like the French? Is it hard to fit in? What are the salary ranges for a ready-to-wear salesperson? And is it easy to find housing?
Thanks! 🙂

Hi everyone! 👨🏾🤝👨🏻
My partner and I currently live in Antibes—we’re both freelancers working remotely. We’re thinking about potentially moving to Italy.
We’d like to settle near the French border, between Ventimiglia and San Remo (this is important because we need access to Nice Airport twice a month). ✈️
I’d love to hear about life in this region! We’re looking for a quiet spot close to the sea. Any recommendations? As for the paperwork, is it difficult to get everything official? Is finding housing tough in this area? What kind of guarantees are usually required? If any kind soul could shed some light on this, we’d really appreciate it! 🥺🏻

Hi everyone,
I’d like to get some information about my eligibility for the DV Lottery.
About my background: • I earned a *Bac Pro* through VAE (*Validation des Acquis de l’Expérience*), issued by the *Éducation nationale*. • I also have a professional certification as a *Conseiller en Insertion* (Employment Counselor), issued by the Ministry of Labor. • Altogether, this adds up to a *Bac+2* level.
I’d like to know if this level qualifies me to apply for the DV Lottery.
Regarding my work experience: • I work as an *Employment Counselor*. • I checked on O*Net Online for the classification: Job Zone 4, SVP Range: 7.0 – <8.0. • I only have one year of experience, but I handle similar tasks in business creation.
So my question is: can I apply for the DV Lottery despite my relatively short experience, given that my job falls under Job Zone 4?
Thanks in advance for your answers and advice! !

Hi everyone,
I’m looking for info on villages around Aix, like Fuveau, Bouc-Bel-Air, or even Éguilles and Venelles? We’re a couple with a child living in the Paris region, and I’ll be relocating to Aix-en-Provence in spring 2026. We’d love to swap our apartment for a house with a pool within 20-30 minutes max of central Aix, with a budget of around 650k €.
In terms of climate and geography, I’ve read that Aix is in a basin where it can get really hot. What about the surrounding villages that are a bit more elevated, like Venelles? Is it just as stifling?
For a family, which area would you recommend?

Starting this spring, we want to settle near Aix-en-Provence. We're tired of living in the mountains with all the snow—we really need some sunshine and a fresh start. Is it hard to find a house to rent there? What about prices? If you have any great tips or useful info about the area, we’d love to hear it. I work in education and want to do prevention work in Marseille or Aix—are there jobs in the social sector?
Anyway, we need tons of info, but we’re sure we’re going to take the leap—no hesitation, adventure is adventure!!! Thanks for your help and any experiences you can share.

Hi,
I’m an osteopath and I’d like to set up and open an osteopathy practice in Thailand. I don’t have a precise location in mind yet, but I’m thinking maybe Hua Hin. I saw there’s an osteopath based in Phuket, so I wrote to him for some info, but he still hasn’t replied🤪!
So I’m reaching out to people who live there or know the country well: I’d like to know what the best ways are to advertise and get known in Thailand. Are there any local classifieds newspapers? First, I’d like to practice from my apartment. Is that allowed in Thailand? Ideally, I’d like to work part-time in a private hospital as an osteopath. I’m thinking that in Thailand, the medical field is much more open than in Europe!!! Has anyone seen an osteopath or chiropractor working in a Thai hospital? Do you know the price of a consultation?
Any info you can share will be super helpful! Thanks in advance[;)!!!]

Hello everyone,
We’re a small family from the south of France, with a 2-year-old little boy, and we’re dreaming of starting a new adventure abroad by opening our own business. For now, we haven’t chosen a specific destination yet.
We mainly speak French, with a basic level of Spanish and English, and we’re ready to improve these two languages if needed. We’re looking for a multicultural, safe country with quality healthcare and good schools accessible for our son. We’d also love a pleasant place with a mild climate where life is good.
Our idea is to travel to different countries to explore, compare, and refine our project. We’d be really happy to read your tips, experiences, or anecdotes if you’ve already undertaken a similar project or if you know key points to anticipate.
Thanks in advance for your shares and help—it would really help us move forward with our project! 😄
