If you want to do your makeup like a French girl, then you need at least one of these French eyeshadows to get started. Eyeshadow is one of my favorite makeup essentials because it can really draw attention to your eyes. Using eyeshadow will give your eyes a very bold look, so be sure to use a simple, neutral-colored lipstick if you go heavy on the eye makeup.
Popular French girl eyeshadow looks include a smokey eye, a simple eye color eyeshadow, or a fancy evening eye makeup look.
There are different types of French eyeshadows to choose from. A French eyeshadow stick can make it easy for you to apply makeup to your eye. A French eyeshadow pencil will give you more precision with the application. A standard eyeshadow brush will help blend the eyeshadow across your eyelid. A French eyeshadow palette will give you several different color options to choose from.
Whatever eyeshadow you choose, be sure to use a good eyeshadow primer so that your skin is prepped for the makeup.
