Mimi Thorisson is a French food blogger, author, and cook. She is the face behind the popular French-Italian food blog, Manger. Mimi is known for her simple, yet chic style. Her beauty routine is just as effortless.
Skincare
Upon waking up, Mimi does a cold ice cube face bath first thing to wake herself up.
Mimi starts her beauty routine with a basic cleanser, the Caudalie Instant Foaming Cleanser face wash.
If her skin is extra dry, she’ll use the Bioderma Hydrabio Lotion Micellaire peaux sèches face wash.
The wash is followed by Roberts Rose toning lotion, purchased at a pharmacy in Italy, to tone her face and get it ready for the day.
She then applies a vitamin C serum to her face and gives it a gentle massage to even out her complexion. While she doesn’t specify which one, the 10% Pure Vitamin C Serum by La Roche-Posay is a best-seller across France.
Mimi then applies Caudalie Premier Cru Eye Cream to her eyes.
Mimi is a fan of the L’Occitane Immortelle Divine face cream to hydrate her dry skin.
For anti-aging, Mimi applies the Uriage ISOFILL Cream for wrinkles.
To moisturize her body, Mimi opts to use the ultra-rich Weleda Skin Food cream.
She is also a fan of the French cult classic Nuxe body oil.
In the evening, Mimi cleanses her face with a gentle cleanser. Then, she massages her face with Fabulous Face Oil by Aesop or the Divine oil by L’Occitane for 15 minutes. She considers this her best anti-aging tip!
Mimi does a DIY face mask before a party thanks to a tip from her grandmother. She applies a custom mixture of honey and 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon to her face the night before and leaves it on for five minutes.
Makeup
For makeup, Mimi Thorisson loves the popular Chanel Vitalumière foundation. She also trusts the more budget-friendly L’Oréal Lumi Magique foundation.
She uses the Laura Mercier Flawless Fusion concealer.
For rosy cheeks, she opts for MAC Prism blush or Chanel Blush in Pink Explosion.
On her eyelashes, she loves using Million Lashes or Telescopic mascara from L’Oréal – she even stocked up on 12 when she heard it was to be discontinued! Her eyelash curler is from Muji.
Recently, Mimi started using Trinny London make-up – specifically the BFF cream in medium and the Chariot eyeshadow. She also uses Nars Bellissima eyeshadow, a light to medium beige with a satin finish.
On her lips, Mimi uses Chanel’s lipstick in Mademoiselle.
Her favorite setting spray is the Prep-Set-Glow by Iconic London. It gives her a dewy glow.
To apply makeup, she trusts Artis makeup brushes.
Diet
Mimi knows that diet has a huge impact on our beauty. She drinks lots of green tea and tries to get plenty of rest each night. She religiously drinks hot water mixed with fresh ginger and 1 teaspoon of honey every morning and afternoon!
