As the seasons change, so should our makeup routines. Spring is a time of rebirth and renewal – the perfect time to freshen up your look. I live in Paris, so let me take you on a journey through the French girl’s spring makeup look. Discover how to create a look that’s as fresh and radiant as a Parisian spring morning.
Dewy Foundation
A fresh, dewy complexion is the basis for the French girl spring makeup look. The French way is not about looking overly made up, but about naturalness and subtlety. For the foundation, consider using the Dior Backstage Face & Body Foundation.
Available in an impressive 40 shades, this foundation offers a natural, dewy finish that’s just perfect for a French girl look. Its lightweight texture offers medium to full coverage and is waterproof and sweat-resistant, making it perfect for spring’s unpredictable weather. Apply this foundation using a makeup sponge or brush to achieve a truly dewy finish that lets your skin’s natural beauty shine through.
Rosy Blush
A rosy blush is key to achieving the youthful, fresh-faced French girl look. The French are known for their love of effortless beauty, and nothing says ‘effortlessly beautiful’ quite like a rosy, flush blush.
Consider the Dior Rosy Glow Blush for a natural, rosy flush that enhances your natural beauty. This cream blush blends seamlessly into the skin, giving you that just-pinched rosy cheek look that is so on-trend right now. It’s also buildable, so you can apply more for a more pronounced blush or less for a subtle hint of colour.
Spring Eyeshadow Palette
When it comes to the French girl spring eyeshadow look, think soft, pastel shades with a touch of shimmer. The Chanel Les 4 Ombres Multi-Effect Quadra Eyeshadow in 228 Tissé Cambon is a perfect choice.
This spring eyeshadow palette offers four stunning shades of pink, plum, bronze, and ivory that can be mixed and matched for a variety of looks. With its long-lasting, pigment-rich formula, this eyeshadow palette allows you to create a soft, subtle look that’s perfect for the French girl spring makeup look.
Mascara
Mascara is a must for any French girl makeup look. The French are known for their love of mascara, with a focus on volume and length rather than clumping and unnatural-looking lashes.
For this, Dior’s ‘Diorshow Iconic Overcurl Mascara’ is an excellent choice. This mascara offers stunning volume and curl, while the unique brush ensures that every lash is coated, giving you a full, fanned-out look. Remember, the key is to keep it natural and effortless, so avoid applying too many coats.
French women often use mascara to bring out their eyes. They prefer a more natural look so they often avoid false lashes.
Peach or Pink Lip Gloss
For lips, the French prefer a soft, natural look, and a peach or pink lip gloss is perfect for achieving this. ‘Laura Mercier Lip Glacé‘ in Bellini or Pink Pop are lovely choices for a soft, spring-ready lip. These glosses offer a sheer, high-shine finish that enhances the natural color of your lips, while also moisturizing and plumping.
It’s the perfect way to complete your French girl spring makeup look. With a hint of color and a whole lot of shine, these glosses are the ideal choice for those who want a natural, fresh-faced look this spring.
In general, French women adhere to the philosophy of “less is more” when it comes to makeup. They prioritize skincare, believing that a good skincare routine is the foundation of a beautiful makeup look.
