If there’s one thing we’ve learned during our time in Paris, it’s that French women are famous for their effortlessly chic and radiant beauty. Discover the top French beauty secrets we’ve curated for you to achieve flawless skin and enhance your natural beauty through skincare and makeup.
Skincare Secrets
Embrace the “less is more” approach. French women prioritize a simple skincare routine with high-quality products. Our Poetry in Potion and Daydream Rosewater Cream are prime examples of this. Why have an 18-step skincare routine when everything you need is in just two products? Focus on gentle cleansers, hydrating toners, and lightweight moisturizers to maintain a healthy complexion.
Incorporate Facial Massage
Facial massage techniques, such as lymphatic drainage and acupressure, are popular in French skincare. (Check out our previous blog on this topic for more information.) Stimulating blood circulation and reducing puffiness can help you achieve a more youthful and radiant complexion. (Learn more about the benefits of using an Ice Roller.)
Opt for Natural Ingredients
French beauty emphasizes the use of natural ingredients like floral waters, plant extracts, and essential oils. Incorporating products containing rose water, chamomile, or argan oil for their soothing and nourishing properties will make lasting changes to your skin’s health.
Makeup Secrets
Prioritize Effortless Elegance. French makeup is all about enhancing natural features rather than masking them. Opt for a minimalistic approach, focusing on flawless skin, subtly defined eyes, and a touch of color on the lips. Including a cream blush such as Almost Famous in your makeup routine will allow your skin to look fresh, youthful, and radiant. And for the lips, we believe everyone needs the Coquette Bundle in their life. This lip tint will give you a stunning shine and a natural, long-lasting stain.
Cultivate a Fresh, Dewy Complexion
Much like us gals here at Fancy Face, French women prefer a radiant, lit-from-within look. Use lightweight foundations, tinted moisturizers, or BB Creams to achieve a natural glow, and highlight the high points of your face for added luminosity. Our BB Cream allows your skin to shine through while adding a beautiful wash of coverage, keeping it dewy and fresh.
Embrace the Power of Red Lipstick
A classic French beauty staple, red lipstick instantly adds sophistication and allure. We’ve created the perfect shade that not only instills confidence for an effortlessly chic statement but Give Love‘s blue undertone also makes your teeth look extremely white.
Effortless Eye Makeup
French women often opt for soft, smoky eyes or a simple swipe of mascara for a natural yet captivating look. Focus on enhancing the lashes and using neutral or earthy tones to subtly define the eyes. Our Basic Boss Lash Set is a great way to add a dash of sexiness to your eyes without overdoing it, helping you achieve that effortless glam.
Incorporating French beauty secrets into your skincare and makeup routine can elevate your beauty game to new heights. By embracing simplicity, focusing on quality products, and enhancing your natural features, you can achieve the coveted Parisian chic allure.
