French women believe glowing skin is the foundation of any beauty look. Start by prepping your face with a good moisturizer, serum, and SPF to create a hydrated and radiant base.
Choose a lightweight foundation or BB cream that lets your natural skin texture show through. The goal is to even out your complexion, not to mask it completely.
Apply concealer only where needed—under the eyes, around the nose, or on blemishes. Keep the coverage light and blend thoroughly for a seamless look.
Use a cream blush in soft pink or peach tones for a healthy, youthful glow. Apply it lightly to the apples of your cheeks and blend upwards towards the temples.
Brush your brows and fill them with a pencil. Keep the strokes light to mimic natural hair, and avoid creating a harsh or overly defined shape.
Curl your lashes and apply just one coat of mascara for length and definition. The French girl look is more about enhancing than exaggerating
Choose a lip tint, or sheer lipstick that’s close to your natural lip colour. This adds just a hint of color while keeping the lips soft and hydrated.
Use a liquid or cream highlighter sparingly on the high points of your face—cheekbones, brow bones, and the bridge of your nose—to create a fresh, dewy look.
Skip the eyeliner and eyeshadow, or use them sparingly in neutral tones. A soft, smudged line along the upper lashes can add subtle definition without looking too ‘done.’
Finish with a hydrating facial mist to set your makeup and add a natural, radiant finish. This will keep your skin looking fresh and glowing throughout the day.
