French Girl Makeup

When doing French girl makeup, less is more. French girl makeup focuses on flawless skin, minimal eye makeup, and lips that are full and unfussy. We suggest dabbing your favorite red lipstick in the center of your lips and smudging out the pigment to create a just-been-kissed look.

Doing French makeup over 50 is just the same as any other age. By focusing on products that highlight your natural beauty, you can create a flawless base with a tinted moisturizer. This will give you a youthful glow, and with a bold, effortless lip color like Caviar Smoothing Matte Refillable Lipstick in 520 Scarlet Velvet–you’ll have achieved the perfect French girl makeup look. 

When you think of a French makeup style, what comes to mind? For us, it’s effortless charm, a little mystery, and a touch of je ne sais quoi. French women seem to embrace their natural skin, enhance their best features, and highlight the lips. And lucky for you, Laura Mercier carries everything you’d need to achieve the perfect French makeup style.

Like we said, French style makeup is often natural and effortless. To achieve such a look, we suggest using a tinted moisturizer for barely-there coverage, a swipe of mascara, and a bold red lip. Any French makeup tutorial will teach you to dab the lipstick color in the center of your lips, then use your fingertips to softly diffuse the color for a “just kissed” look.

When doing a French girl makeup look, you only need a few products. First, and most importantly, you need a tinted moisturizer that lets your natural skin shine through. Add an optional touch of color on the cheeks with our liquid blush. A swipe of mascara is all that’s needed for the eyes. And then our Caviar Smoothing Matte Refillable Lipstick in 520 Scarlet Velvet is the perfect effortless swath of color you need.
