Makeup

The everyday French girl makeup look is natural-looking, flattering, and quite simple. You’ll rarely see a French girl wearing brightly colored eye shadow or a flashy lipstick color in her day-to-day life. French women are known to wear a bright red lip, but in reality, this kind of makeup is usually reserved for special occasions.

The most common French makeup routine includes picking one feature to highlight and keeping the rest of your face nearly bare. French women adore the ‘no-makeup’ makeup look. An example would be to wear bold black eyeliner while keeping the lips neutral. You could also go for a dark red lip, but use very light eye makeup.

In any case, the French makeup philosophy is primarily about enhancing our natural beauty, rather than disguising our imperfections. Read more about the French girl beauty rules.

French girls love using micellar water to remove their makeup. I have tried a few different micellar water products in France and I keep returning to Bioderma Sensibio H20 Micellar Water because I think it does the best job with the fewest strokes! I dab some on a simple cotton pad and my makeup melts right off.

There are other amazing French makeup removers out there too if you have specialized needs. Whatever you use, make sure you remove your makeup well!
