Five-step perfection.
From FP contributor, Sophia Pauline.
Anyone who’s invested in the beauty realm is assuredly aware of “French Girl” beauty, a “less is more” philosophy that accentuates natural beauty through the use of minimal makeup application. Think enhancer versus coverup.
Paramount to achieving a French Girl look is: donning a clean face, complete with a pop of lip color.
How you choose to do this is entirely up to you, and should be considered in accordance with your own skin’s needs. But for those who might benefit from a little guidance, we’re here to share with you a few of our favorite products that, when combined, allow for a perfect (good-for-you) oohlala vibe, symbolic of true self-acceptance.

Start with a moisturizing base. I chose Summary’s Stress Less Serum for two reasons…it leaves skin glowy, and refreshes me with a hint of cucumber and water lily scent.
Next up – rms beauty’s Supernatural Radiance Sunscreen. Perfect for protecting my skin while balancing out my complexion. Remember, a little of this goes a long way.
Now the fun part – taming my brows. LÉVANS Mega Hold Brow Gel does the job exceptionally well, with a thick applicator that provides a bold hold and allows me to shape them however I want. LÉVANS’ formulation is water-resistant, with castor oil to provide essential moisture and encourage hair growth.
I followed up with rms’ Straight Up Volumizing Mascara which does just that – adds fullness and depth to my lashes without looking clumpy or heavy.
And finally, the pièce de résistance of all French Girl beauty – the lip. This one by Madame Gabriela, instead of looking dramatic (which is great for anyone who’s humbled by a red lip) – adds subtle boldness and a perfect, soothing-via-chamomile complement to my otherwise clean makeup look.
