Living on the French Coast is such a fortunate opportunity!It opened for me new horizons, not only for traveling, but also for french beauty discoveries – in other words, my all time passion! And I am glad to share them with you every time I have the chance.

French ladies are beautiful in a way that is both effortless and discreet.

“[…]The strength of French women lies in their physical uniqueness. We accept imperfections and manage to emphasize the unique aspect of beauty instead of trying to modify and change it and move towards a standard of beauty, like having full lips and a small nose.” says Mona Walravens for Bazaar Magazine in 2015.

The less-is-more style is key when it comes to french beauty secrets.

A French woman adores her natural features, she uses makeup only to enhance her beauty and not to change it. Sephora is a French chain of cosmetics stores founded in 1969 – but before selecting her makeup products, a French women offers attention to her skin care, firstly. It’s a fantastic experience to discover and try all french beauty brands when you come here – you will not be disappointed! Brigitte Bardot and Catherine Deneuve are legendary french icons that sums up that je ne sais quoi and, nowadays, they inspire ladies around the world.

Here are some of the makeup products every French Riviera lady has in her makeup bag:

Minimalist Finish
Invisible foundation

DiorSkin Forever

A true French Riviera lady will focus on her skin care firstly! Once you have a beautiful smooth base you can apply a small amount of foundation. Blend it very well with a beauty blender, preferably, because it really push makeup into the skin. DiorSkin Forever foundation is a long lasting product, it offers a luminous matte finish, flawless correction and exceptional comfort, in all conditions.

Dior is one of the most appreciated brands when it comes to skin coloring. Along with other brands like Mac Cosmetics, Yves Saint Laurent, Clinique, La Roche Posay or Lancome.

French women love taking care of their skin! A flawless definition is a must when you are on the famous Côte d’Azur. Like similar silicone-based mattifiers, the POREfessional goes on dry, silky and shine-free. This primer is one of the products that can frequently be found on French Riviera ladies’ makeup bags.

Terracotta Pause d’Été

The luxurious, environmentally sound wooden pack is described, on Guerlain‘s official website, as a magical bronzer which naturally warms all complexions, and the it-colour for summer, a pink with a slight gold shimmer, to illuminate the tan. The colours can either be blended together to warm the complexion and enhance the natural radiance of the tan or applied separately to achieve the desired intensity.

MAC Prep + Prime Fix

This spray is well needed especially when you are travelling on a humid and hot location. Fix + produces a fine, non-aerosol mist that lightly settles on skin, which allows more control over where you’re applying product. It will help you set the makeup products better and get a flawless finish.

French Riviera is all about that flawless shine! Natural makeup look is emphasised by a gorgeous summer glow.

When the sun catches your glow, you will look like a goddess!
