French makeup & hair | "Parisian chic" | Justine Leconte

This video is not a tutorial: it shows examples of famous French (Parisian) women so you can see what their aesthetics and their beauty routine in terms of hairstyle and makeup look like. I tackle skincare, lips, eyes, eyebrows, brands and hair.
The idea behind this video series is to look at "French chic" from an international perspective.
Comments and opinions along the way are mine, you may very well disagree ;-)

I love that you mentioned that foundation is not necessary. I'm 19 and have clear skin so Ive never seen the point of it but all the makeup tutorials nowadays have primer, foundation, concealer, setting spray.. Jesus Christ. it makes me feel like my skin is clogged up so I avoid it. good to know Parisian women do too.

[@justineleconte]

+Lipi Rastogi yes... The skin needs to breathe 😅

[@someonerandom256]

Lipi Rastogi Unfortunately I have a lot of broken capillaries around my nose, and on my chin, as I age, so I always even everything out with a BB or CC cream because they are lighter than foundations. I wish I could get away with just using an untinted moisturizer! I usually just use a BB cream, just a touch of blush or bronzer, a light colored illuminating mineral eyeshadow, brown mascara, and a tinted lip balm. My goal is to look as natural as possible, to use natural products, and above all to look like myself! Enjoy your youth, I wasted mine trying to look my age, with just a little too much makeup, because I had a baby-face!

[@jk4351]

+Justine Leconte officiel I wish the girl who did my makeup for prom had your approach...I just looked like Melania, completely expressionless...keep up the good work!I have no idea how I found your channel but I'm so glad I did

[@user-kk8ie7zd9d]

it's sometimes a matter of profit.

[@katherinebrockhoff8476]

You are making the right choice Lipi! I am 57 and have never worn more than an occasional touch of concealer since I was a teenager. I get compliments on my skin all the time. Don’t think I’ve had easy skin either, I have rosacea but learned early that the less I mess with it the better. For anyone with very sensitive skin or rosacea try Clinique Redness Solutions line - calming cream, protector w/SPF and cleanser. Moisturize with DHC products. It’s a Japanese company online and their line based on olive oil. I set up my nieces and many friends with these soothing products very young and those that didn’t succumb to the lure of trendy & harsh products have beautiful skin. Smooth and pamper your skin - don’t torture it! End of my preaching. 😉

[@PatMcFadyenGrowingGradeByGrade]

[@faheykathleen]

I 100% agree!

[@douloureux.]

People are different. Let people enjoy things. Some enjoy full faces of make up and some prefer minimal make up. No need to throw other women under the bus

[@gotnoname7051]

My notes for this video 1)-using misellar water for removing makeup. 2)- prefer golden colors over pinkish on their face. 3)- the eyes or the lips. 4)- color of maskara that complements the color of the eye. At night:add a think line of winged eyeliner. 5)- the shape of eyebrow :- keep it natural. 6)- hair :- nourish it very well Ends can't be dry Roots cant be greesy Between the roots and the ends, it's preferred to have shine. They like to keep it in layers. Bangs and braids are awesome.

[@katiethomas5889]

I love that the focus is on having a good skincare routine and only using coverups as necessary! Much easier to do and doesn't take as much time in the am.

[@lanternaBGD]

There is no harm to our community Justine, don't worry. Since the beginning of internet things like this are happening. Although I am all for freedom of speech, I am even more for respect and civil behavior. We don't know why some ppl do nasty things. We can't "fix" them, change them or teach them the lesson of socially acceptable behavior. Therefore, the best is not to get in commenting, and you can block individuals who are going over the line. Nothing can spoil my love for fashion, beauty and small community of gorgeous ladies on this channel with Justine in the front seat:)))

[@rikakemme]

Either the lips or the eyes -that's how I've learned it too. I also always go for maximum effect with minimum effort. I had no idea that's the French way of going about it, I just find the idea of needing to put a lot of effort into my hair and make up in order to look nice depressing. Also, if you go all out every day you can't step it up for special occasions anymore.

[@daisymagi9107]

I am Native American and I do the same " French" routine. It's a PERSONAL Choice how you carry and make yourself up in my View. Over all interesting tutorial.

[@Orangeufunny]

Justine- you are adorable! You have the brightest friendly face and a beautiful smile. You put everything so simply. You make me feel we can all achieve this look. It is logic to play up your good features and play down the ones you aren't happy with. It is taking care of yourself and being confident. Merci

I pretty much always leave my hair with its natural wave, down or braided. Sometimes amid my American culture, I start to think I should put in more of an effort...and then I get a nice reminder like this video that what I'm doing is considered chic in other cultures. :) Enjoyed this very much - thank you!

[@amberplough781]

Yes, while every culture has their good points, I sometimes feel I was born on the wrong side of the pond. I've only visited Paris, but almost feel more comfortable there. :) I wonder if there are any French girls dying to wear blue nailpolish or light washed jeans that feel they were born on the wrong side of the pond too? Nah..... probably not! :-D

+Réka Makó having "too much" makeup on would definitely be a faux-pas...

[@schwester6523]

Malaysia? U live there? I thought of something else. 'Cause your name.

[@melancholica999]

I have witnessed it each time I visited paris and it (as well as aging) has affected how I do things too. Less is definitely more. No overdrawn lips, no fresh blow outs on anyone under 70. I watched girls on the metro with bare face and just slick of warm red lipstick, that looked amazing even with light hair and eyes. Or a coat of mascara and maybe some matte bronzer and gorgeous as can be. Not everyone looks the same. Women take pride in their natural features and hair texture and that's so liberating and beautiful. I have allergies and redness problems so all I ever use are French farmacy brands, Avene, Bioderma, Uriage and Caudalie being my favorites for respective products. I have managed to ditch foundation thanks to those and only use dab of concealer in case of redness occasionally, and play up either my lips or my brows, which are my best feature. Hair color is also often natural or closest to the natural shade, which again I find amazing, so I ditched hair color for years now too and stick to my natural brown. Those women love themselves, their imperfections, and their strong points. They wear nice but ultimately comfortable clothing, that lets them live without worrying about outfits.

[@CleoHarperReturns]

I know this video is old, but it's so affirming to me! When I was 13 -- nearly 4 decades ago -- I went to modeling school and French skincare/makeup/hair was taught to us religiously. I'm relieved (and just a little smug) to hear that everything I learned was dead-on accurate. It thrills me that the beauty standards of French women haven't changed at all. It's also nice to hear that there is one thing I've done right my entire life.

[@samcad-ho3ze]

Your low gum line is really attractive. It definitely gives you an edgy look.

[@cazia9]

I have long subscribed to the concept of using cosmetics as a means to touch away minor flaws and enhance what’s there rather than using the hottest trend bc it’s popular … this video makes my ‘not always going along with what’s current but what makes me look good’ preferences validated

[@bluelotus2021]

I really appreciate French beauty standard because it respect and admire people natural beauty.

[@MsPapersquirrel]

That was great. Could you do a video about the "mindset" of how a French woman gets dressed in the morning? Like - what does she consider for a weekday? The questions she asks herself. I'm American and it seems that here there is an all or nothing attitude - it's either yoga pants and a tshirt or a super "done/finished " look.

[@emmaphilo4049]

MsPapersquirrel french women worry to look good at all time but in a relaxed way. It's like not that done but they want to look cute in a constant way even through little things that doesn't require too much time like a bit of mascara or a cute tee shirt. It's really different from Americans I think.

[@tyttiMK]

I am not French, either, and I am from a very small village, but even my 60+ mother changes from "home clothes" to normal ones (jeans, leather pants...) when she goes to a grocery store less than a kilometre away, and she always puts at least mascara and some lip product in the morning when taking care of her skin in the morning, even if she is just going to a forest to pick berries. It's just a habit.

[@josephinewinter]

britain too, you're either going to a wedding with no inch of real skin visible - even your cleavage has highlighter and lipstick (just kidding)(slightly) or you're walking down the high street in your pyjamas full of holes. As an older, staider person, i'm bewildered by it all

[@Lovemykids46]

HATE how so many people in California wear yoga pants daily. Kids at school too. A few years ago, you would see yoga pants/leggings only at school pickup when moms had just come from or were going to the gym. Now it's standard fare 24/7 because they're "comfortable". It's embarrassing to me that that is what our clothing has become. I hope that there are other places in the world (besides India) where women wear stylish, comfortable clothes--even jeans are better.

Hi Justine. I was working at my computer today and youtube randomly presented me with some of your clips, including this one. It's very "haute" to be into French beauty and style nowadays, with numerous books written on the topics of how to dress, live, eat, and relax in the "French" way (yes, I've read them). I find your tips and advice super accessible and easy for the average, busy woman (French or not) to relate to. I loved your comments about hair, especially -- the French way (here in America, what am I DOING spending tons of time and money blowing out/flat-ironing/curling my hair? The worst thing about it is that, even if it looks nice, I simply don't WANT to). This world generally needs to take a chill pill (hear that, ladies?). Many of us are trying to dial it down in this busy world while hoping to remain elegant and confident. In a world where I have resisted Instagram and all sorts of others things, you're giving me an "in" back into beauty that's so refreshing (and empowering!). Thank you for your infectious smile, friendly approach, and streamlined, sympathetic advice. Merci!

c'est vrai que Justine s'adresse à des jeunes femmes jeunes comme elle et on la remercie, elle incarne le chic français, je ne sais pas s'il existe vraiment mais ça nous remonte le moral à nous femmes françaises de croire que les autres femmes du monde nous trouvent chic! ! Moi aussi je cherche une chaine you-tube qui s'adresse aux femmes plus agées, peut-être devrais-je la créer moi- même? La tendance pour les femmes plus agées en France est de garder leurs cheveux gris ou blancs mais de soigner leur coupe de cheveux. Quand on prend de l'âge la priorité est à donner à la coiffure, la coupe principalement, il faut qu'elle exprime le naturel, la bonne santé, qu'elle mette en valeur le visage. Je dis merci à ma coiffeuse, c'est elle ma meilleure conseillère en look. Le maquillage doit être pareil, léger mais exprimant le bien-être, la bonne santé, le bonheur.rouge à lèvres, teint.. Regardez le look de notre nouvelle first lady elle me semble typiquement française, elle a de la classe, sans être guindée, elle est moderne, elle assume ses 24 ans de plus que son mari, elle est forte et le prouve par son amour pour son mari! j'espère que vous pourrez traduire mon texte, sorry I'm french!

I have the same philosophy with the exception that when it comes to beauty products high cost does not always equate to better quality. This applies particularly to skin care. My skin care purchases are more scientifically proven ingredients driven these days. I will admit there is something about luxurious packaging that speaks to my feminine desires however.

[@mulliganstew72]

Karen .c.h yes and higher end/quality skin care lasts longer in my opinion. Like I use a clinical face wash for $30 but it will last me six months. If I buy something cheap I’ll go through it really quickly. And with make up and cosmetics the packaging is important! For example, with drugstore cosmetics if you drop it once & it will turn to dust immediately, but with the higher end stuff it’s packaged so nicely, has stronger pigment, and won’t trash the make up bag because the caps come off. I have become a bit of a product snob I guess but to me it’s just like with clothes, it’s a better cost for value to invest a little bit. Free gift with purchase coat, samples, and chasing all the sales helps. However, It really sucks when everything runs out at the same time & it’s time to re-up...really hurts the wallet!!

Lovely - while I agree with much of what you say, I can't on the brows or liner. Then again I come from the classic, older North American woman's perspective - and sometimes I feel like I'm the only one who sees this. As we age, brows definitely need some adjustment so as not to look angry when your not and that includes tweezing the top. ha ha ha

French women seem to be very similar to italian women. When I was living in Italy, they were never using a lot of makeup, and the hair was as natural as possible. I think this is nice, but at the same time, the markets had very little options of hair products compared to Brazil (my home country). Since they generally don't change the color or the shape of the hair, they probably need less products to fix the damage. I can't be like this because I love from time to time to change my hair color and do some curls, so I really need hair products that can treat damaged hair.

[@josephinedaunas1145]

oh no french girls don't use too much make up at all! the less they wear make up the better they look , their make up is so light that you've got the impression they don't wear make up at all!

[@stellarajoria8081]

Caroline A. Italian women dye their hair very often actually, maybe they tend to use always the same colour along their life, but most of them have dyed hair

[@carolinesa91]

Stella Rajoria well, in the city where I was living (Florence) I've never seen italian women with crazy hair colors, like pink, blue. But maybe this depends on the city, maybe cities like Milano have more diversity on hair color.

[@stellarajoria8081]

Caroline A. Yes crazy colours are used almost never, I live near Milan and in these latest years they have become fashion, but still you can find very few people wearing them, we use mainly more natural colours (bright reds and pale blonds are condidered almost like crazy colours too)

That's so weird, I find Italian women often wear heavy makeup and often bleach their hair. I know Donatella Versace is an extreme, but there is a toned down version you see everywhere in Italian streets.

[@liina000]

Jeeeeesus, seems simple but still a ton to keep up with. Admirable, though!

[@poupee_girl]

I love your smile, you're such a breath of fresh air! Your videos are very informative and endearing. I'm glad I found your channel :)

[@jansalvador7384]

i love your channel!!

[@jozigirl7114]

Urgh, I live in the UK - Cheshire to be more specific. Everything is fake. The majority of the young women wear so much makeup that you don't recognise them when they have a clean face. They spend hours in tanning salons, or overdose on fake tan - they look like goldfish in overtight dresses. SPF is something which they view as a pointless tan blocker. I am like a pale stranger here, but when I am in Paris, I feel at home. I visit Paris at least once a year, or spend a week in the South. I visit Citipharma and stock up on La Roche Posay - which you can get in Boots stores in the UK, but the prices are inflated and the sales ladies know very little. Every time I leave France it is with a heavy heart. I would like to see more about hair care, especially about hair colour. I have been getting grey hair since my late teens/early twenties due to anemia. I have been colouring my hair for the last 20yrs. Natural shades, nothing weird or out there. What is the do's and don'ts of hair colour and care. Thanks for bringing France to me. 💞

[@Samchocolate11]

Yeah I hate the copious amount of fake tan, self-tan and overdone make up British girls adorn over here :/ kinda sucks :/ I adore Parisian style

[@yarixzamendoza6314]

JoziGirl I'm American and I noticed that in British movies they perceive themselves this way I didn't know woman in the UK actually dressed like that.

[@JoMoolenschot]

Not all British women do but I think amongst the youth "overdoing it" is considered a bit cool ;) Some British women take a page out of the French or Scandinavian women's books as it were and enjoy keeping things simple, elegant and natural. But I suppose we do have quite a few different subcultures here as we are such a diverse country. For instance, some arty hipster types seem to enjoy dressing up in very retro, almost frumpy, clothes. When I worked in the fashion industry I noticed some women chose simple elegance (like the French) and some really enjoyed pushing the boundaries and going for more avant garde fashion and hair / make up looks. It's such a mixed bag! But I do agree that in some circles the fake tan and "more is better" approach is sadly quite popular! :/

[@JoMoolenschot]

Ps. I too admire the French for effortless elegance! Such perfection. Really enjoying these videos!

[@beth9603]

JoziGirl I can second almost all of this!!!

[@707tich]

Well my whole life I have been French then! Lol Everything you have said I do even though I'm a Londonder. Great video x

[@akaededeval374]

thanks Sherlock it's like comparing koreans to japanese there's not that much of a difference going on, so not that crazy to find links...

[@imabingewatcher]

Same, and I'm from Texas.

[@imabingewatcher]

TN D Wow. Why not instead of saying mean things you go n find a channel you like?

[@janiedicus5820]

I don't get why people say mean things. I am from the US. Pacific Northwest to be exact. Love your videos and love you. Help for older women would be helpful. Thanks

[@707tich]

Sorry I have just seen these comments. I actually like HER VIDEOS. I didn't write to INSULT HER AT ALL. I watch her videos religiously. I watch this video and realised oh wow in a fun way I have been French all along! Meaning the advice shes giving is classic something all my female family members have done I'm happy!

[@sarahk8777]

Love your videos I hope you keep going

[@kristiLB93]

This was really one of the best videos I've ever discovered in the topic of French Chic! Very informative. Really and truly classic taste! Thanks so much!

[@keiths2902]

The French skincare reminds of the Korean skincare. I really like how French beauty is about being natural.

[@ParisianThinker]

Thank you for your review. One youtube makeup channel did a makeup look of a French women and then did one of an American woman. It was very funny. She showed American women use a ton of makeup. That was so true. The reason American women use so much makeup is competition since they have to sell themselves at every turn. French women often have "contracts of employment for life", free and affordable medical care for themselves and their children, free daycare, and pensions from the French government and don't spend their money on needless makeup. They have to budget every month to pay taxes to the French government, so they do not consume much. I live near Paris in the western suburb of Saint Germain-en-Laye. In the USA, makeup is sold and bought by American women for every cm of their face. They mostly try for a standard look according to the trend. The trend now is highlighters and eyebrows. One must glow and have thick brows. lol Few have the courage to be themselves. It's a lot easier to live in France and just emphasis your lips or your eyes if you choose. Most women do nothing at all except skin care. All the luxury makeup and skin care brands are sold at the major French corporations for 50% off. French pharmacies also promote Nuxe and Caudalie along with many other French skin care brands.

[@mulliganstew72]

Hidden Advantage, Inc that’s the key. Focus on skin care And you won’t need as much make up. I’ve began doing that and I’m transitioning to a tinted moisturizer with SPF 45 in it & am loving letting my true complexion/glow shine!

[@christinat.7171]

[@yasminkhimani5883]

I love your channel. I used to follow others which took forever before getting to the point. You explain everything so beautifully and have such amazing ideas. Thank you
