There’s no denying that French girls continue to inspire our beauty routines (Bioderma anyone?). And while we get the whole less is more approach to French skin care regimes, French makeup routines are different. French girls actually use more than a few products in their makeup routines, yet they look so effortless that you’d think they just rolled out of bed. It’s brilliant!

We’ve rounded up three of our favourite French makeup products, to help you bring some French girl beauty into your makeup routine.
BIODERMA Photoderm BB Cream SPF 50+
Yes, French girls use lots of products in their makeup routines. But they’ll often opt for lighter products over heavier ones. Swap your foundation for a lightweight BB cream like the BIODERMA Photoderm BB Cream SPF 50+, which moisturises the skin, offers high sun protection and natural looking coverage, without clogging pores or leaving the skin with a greasy feeling or oily shine.

A bold lip is a French girl must-have. This full coverage lipstick won’t budge after you’ve applied it, but it won’t dry your lips out either. It’s hydrating formula defines and plumps the lips, while the rounded tip applicator ensures a flawless application every time. It’s also lightly scented with rose and violet.

Lancôme Hypnôse Mascara
This cult-favourite mascara can be found it every French It girl’s handbag. The Lancôme Hypnôse Mascara gives lashes six times more volume and its unique brush allows you to reach tiny lashes and add volume from roots to tips. Its SoftSculpt™ formula is enriched with vitamin B5 to nourish your eyelashes while you wear it.
I have not used any of these products. I love any French brands.
I love the look of that bold red lip, but unfortunately it just doesn’t suit me.
I like Bioderma’s Bb cream! It is really amazing on my skin. And it has high sun protection.
