Foundation

Concealer is a must-have for a French face makeup collection. Concealer is a great way to even out your skin tone, hide your dark circles, and reduce the appearance of your under-eye bags. The best French concealers can even hide signs of aging. One of the best-selling French concealers that doubles as a highlighter is the YSL Touche Éclat All-Over Brightening Concealer Pen. It has been a French cult item for years!

French girls love tinted moisturizers for getting that fresh-faced look without using a cakey and thick foundation. My favorite French tinted moisturizer is the Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer Broad Spectrum SPF 20 which as you can see has a bit of sun protection in it. It gives my skin a more even complexion and a slight glow without feeling oily. There are lots of amazing French tinted moisturizers which Parisians use to even out their skin tone in a lightweight way.

French women don’t use heavy foundation very often, but when they do it’s often for a special occasion. The Armani Luminous Silk foundation is the product I see recommended most often by French beauty connoisseurs.

If you have naturally oily skin, a good French face powder can help mattify your complexion, set your makeup, and even your skin tone colors. The Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder is your best friend for this task!

French girls do wear blush from time to time, but very lightly. I recommend a light blush to get a natural glowy look especially if your cheeks are not red naturally!
