Just like the Korean women who adhere by the multi-step skincare routine, French women too place skin health on the forefront of everything they do. 

After all, if your skin isn’t healthy, makeup isn’t going to go on well. 

French women love their micellar water and use it daily to rid their skin of environmental impurities, makeup residue and oil.

French women tend to stay away from thick base makeup and prefer sheer coverage instead. They’ll usually rely on a bb cream or a foundation that’s got SPF as well.

They’ll blend their foundation and concealer out even more so it looks natural and clearer.  

Most French women prefer to play up their strongest feature and bring attention to it. 

So whether it’s their lips or their eyes, they tend to keep things simple everywhere else but play up certain parts of their face more. 

And that’s the beauty of it! As mentioned prior, French women love to keep their look as natural as possible and if their makeup looks way too perfect, it’ll look fake and too polished.
