Fromimperceptibly perfect strandsto a signature rouge-painted pout, we’re here forand want to tryit all.
Yet, despite being well-versed in the chic beauty aesthetic, we felt something was missing.

ItsVolume Disturbia Mascara($27) delivers dramatic lashes with up to 24-hour wear.
Since its inception over 70 years ago, Dior has been synonymous with timeless beauty and elegance.
Our nitpicky eyes have never witnessed a rogue flake or smudge, either.
“Plus, it holds up through water or sweat and won’t clog pores.”
Plus, the shade Petal is just so effortlessly flattering.
Long story short, in 1948, Talika and the first-ever eyelash growth cream was born.
The result is natural and feathery and stays put for however long you need it to.
“Talika offers an amazing lash conditioner that promotes growth and thickness,” he adds.
It boasts impressive coverage for a stain, so if you’re looking for something sheerer, tread carefully.
(But of course, that wouldn’t be very French of you, now would it?)
Those looking to add warmth to their skin will love its Les Beiges Healthy Glow Bronzing Cream for winter.
It’s an epic bronzer that gets the Blake Lively and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley seal of approval.
Before creating her eponymous cosmetics brand, founder Terry de Gunzburg formulated makeup products at YSL.
De Fontbrune states embracing a messier makeup tool is pivotal to the French product aesthetic.
“A popular trend is the casualness of makeup and its system,” he explains.
“Do asmoky eyeby using a pencil and blend it with your finger.
Make it not so perfect and more lived-in.”
Ombre Blackstar Color-Fix Cream Shadow in Misty Rock will surely get the job done.
In cold weather, they use a thicker moisturizer."
Guerlain
The story of Guerlain began nearly 200 years ago with perfumer and founder Pierre-Francois-Pascal Guerlain.
First up: Terracotta Sunkissed Natural Bronzing Powder.
“This is a foolproof and natural-looking bronzer.
Plus, there are various shades to choose from for your guaranteed finish and tint payoff.
Bourjois
Luxury label Bourjois approaches the chic Parisienne aesthetic with a fun attitude.
Since then, the brand has expanded to all makeup categories.
According to Fournier, Bourjois is a must and commonly hoarded makeup brand in her French homeland.
“I don’t know anyone who does not own some Bourjois (especially their eye shadows!
),” she tells us.
“I love that brand, to be honest,” Fournier gushes.
Since then, it has continually made natural and sustainable cosmetics available to the French elite and the masses.
For instance, its handy Couleurs Nature Vertige Felt-Tip Liner consistently scores top marks in the review section.
