When it comes to natural-looking, understated makeup, French girls know exactly what they’re doing. And considering the country’s centuries-old ties with cosmetics and makeup, it’s no wonder. While the rest of the world has spent the past ten years learning how to contour, create a cut-crease eye look and ‘bake’, French girls have stayed true to their roots, choosing to instead ignore the new norm and stick to the no-fuss, low-maintenance (but seriously chic) makeup looks they’ve always known and loved.
And frankly, we’re here for it. Forget full-coverage bases and eye shadow creations that take half an hour to execute, French girl makeup champions glowing skin with natural texture, a healthy-looking flush and just-bitten lips.
