I don't know what it is with me and Parisian women, but they always fascinate me. The way they dress (like they were in an hurry and put something on in the morning), the way they walk (looking straight forward and busy), the way their hair looks (healthy, but undone). But most of all, the way their skin looks. I mean, it's like they don't wear any makeup at all (but I know they do), without looking tired!
After being a beauty addict for many years now, I know skincare is huge in France. And if you've read my blog before you may have noticed I became a big consumer of the French Pharmacy myself. But besides that, makeup also plays it part when it comes to (almost) flawless looking skin. Parisian women wear makeup, but really natural. The don't cover every blemish, and that might be the key.
Step 1 is looking after your skin (drink water, remove your makeup before going to bed and moisturize, moisturize, and moisturize). Step 2 is wear makeup, but never overdo it. A little concealer never hurt anyone, but loving your imperfections actually might make you look perfect for the day.
I personally love the Les Beiges Healthy Glow Sheer Powder with SPF 15, by Chanel (in No 60). This compact (besides looking very chic in your handbag) is easy on the go, contains a mirror and the product smells amazing. But the most important thing: it actually works. It gives you glowing looking skin, but not like you're wearing a lot of makeup. I just repurchased my second compact, and can't wait to use this lovely powder again.
