SKIN CARE IS KEY
Behind every beautiful complexion is a skin care routine to keep your skin gorgeous and glowing. French girl makeup starts with radiant skin. Perfect your skin care routine by cleansing your skin every day and night and always follow with a day cream or night cream. A clay mask once a week will help to nourish for smoother, brighter looking skin.
FOCUS ON ONE AREA
Instead of going all in with a bold eye and bold lip, French girl makeup means playing up your favourite feature. Whether that is with a smokey eye to bring out your eye colour, a red lip in a matte finish, or longer-looking lashes, draw focus by accentuating just one aspect of your makeup. This will give you a gorgeous makeup look, with an effortless finish.
SIMPLICITY IS EVERYTHING
While we all love getting ready for a night on the town with our dressing table spilling over with beauty products, for every day French girl makeup, simplicity is key. We love a one-step smokey eye that you can smudge on with your finger, or a lipstick you can apply straight from the bullet for a quick lipstick slick. Dab a touch of glow-giving primer on your cheekbones to elevate your makeup for a radiant finish.
STAY YOUTHFUL
Keeping a youthful glow is essential to French girl makeup. With the right skin care routine, your complexion will thank you. Emphasise your youthful glow with a brightening face primer to add radiance to your skin. Add a youthful glow with a cream blush and create a smattering of youth-boosting freckles with a lip liner.
