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. Emphasize 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.
