The Parisian Makeup Look in 10 min Explained | FRENCH BEAUTY SECRETS | French for a Day ❤️

[@ylva571]

l have a true story! I watched this video last night. This morning I tried it out just as you described. I went into the local post office this afternoon and an elegant older lady was at the counter sending a parcel to France. I live in a small town in Australia. We chatted a bit and she said “I thought when you walked in - this girl looks French” A. I am 60 yrs old and B. I am not French. But thank you Angela! ❤

[@Frenchforaday]

Awww Ylva, you made my day! 🥰❤ A huge thank you for sharing this wonderful moment with all of us. I will pin this comment so that more people can see it. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making me so happy! Sending you much love to beautiful Australia. xoxo

I love seeing the beautiful, timeless looks! At 71, I am trying to have a look that is not garish-and this is it!!

[@delphinehautefeuille]

This is so true! My mother is French and this is what she taught me: don't try to change your face, just enhance your best features. And the goal is to look like you're not wearing any makeup at all. Angela, your French makeup is the most authentic I've seen!

[@Frenchforaday]

Hello and a huge thank you for the kindest words! You made my day! Have a wonderful weekend! xoxo

[@angelinahunter182]

Thank you, Angela, for some great make-tips. I would like to share that as a 76-year old, two things that have made a big difference in my appearance are: 1) Brow Mascara (mostly removed) because when we age not only do our brows become gray or white but their volume diminishes and we lose expression when this happens. I apply Brow Mascara, the lightest shade I can find, and then I use a brow brush to remove most of it. 2) Lash Extensions (Natural or Classic applications): I always wanted to do this when I lived in Manhattan but it was prohibitively expensive. But when I moved to Colorado I found I could enjoy this beauty service for around $100 and it lasts for around 5 weeks with touchup very affordable -- it looks so natural, soft and pretty -- it does a look for my appearance.

[@vhalleranch]

The one time I went to Paris was in 2003, and I clearly remember the understated beauty of the women I saw. Your first video on French beauty summed it up pretty well . One afternoon my friend and I walked through one of the many small streets the width of an alley, and suddenly, a woman on a bicycle came zooming toward us with two small children: one on the handle bars, and one behind her holding tightly. She wore a dress, ballet flats, hair loosely bundled on her head, bold red lips, and a cigarette hanging from the corner of her mouth 👄. She sped through quickly, but the image has remained in my mind ever since. I came back to San Francisco with a "new" style to wear!!!

[@Frenchforaday]

Hi Varlene :) Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful story with us :) Yes, you can often see this picture in Paris. I really like their effortless chic and confidence when they wear a red lip. Have a wonderful weekend and I'm sending much love to you in beautiful San Francisco! I love your city :) xoxo

[@ThePlataf]

Hopefully not with the cigarette!

[@Rustymouse]

The blotting of the lipstick, the reapplying and powdering over the lips with a tissue is the way they did it in the 1950s. Nothing has changed. It worked perfectly then as it does now. I did exactly this myself from that decade.

[@lauraellen189]

Beautiful look. You have the effortless beauty of a French woman. I love the French idea of minimal makeup routine. I am 59 and during my younger years teens and young woman would never have used concealer. There is no need and I can't understand the obsession with concealer and contour here in the USA. I actually still do not use either. Skin care really is key!

[@Frenchforaday]

Hi Laura :) Thank you so much for watching my video. Same here, I rarely use concealer. Most people don't really need it. I think a lot of people use it out of force of habit. I hope you will enjoy my future videos too. xoxo

[@seanabadalich9112]

You are fantastically fortunate to not have lived with acne your whole life. Concealer is my best friend. Only buy high end concealers they are worth it!

[@kristabel71]

Same for me, skin prone to hormonal breakouts and genetic dark circles under my eyes. If I didn't have these things I would also skip concealer.

[@lauraellen189]

​@@seanabadalich9112I was referring to young women using it under their eyes when they don't even have discoloration. I totally understand using it for acne or other uneven pigment issues. 😊

[@Tessa-d5h]

I had acne as a teen and, according to my dermatologist, one reason it cleared up quickly was because I did not wear any make-up.

[@mlcarv]

Beautiful. All I could add is that 1- like you said, bronzer is not for contouring but for enhancing the skin and give a kissed by the sun look (pour avoir une bonne mine), 2- find your right shade of nude(s), the one that will make your face shine, and stick to it, 3- blotting and powdering definitely works, so you don’t need a lip pencil for every lipstick, 4- like my maman always said, don’t leave the house without applying blush and lipstick 😂

[@Frenchforaday]

Fantastic tips :) A huge thank you 🥰 I love your mom's advice. A good blush and a lipstick is all we need to look fresh and more polished. I hope you will enjoy my future videos too and please keep sharing your tips. It's really useful for all of us. Bon weekend. xoxo

[@truthful2293]

Great tips. I’ve finally found a red that brightens my face. But I don’t know how to find the right nude for me. I have fair/med skin with neutral undertone. Any tips? Thank you so so much for the French series. I’m French obsessed. I started teaching myself French last year. I hope one day I can go visit France.

[@Vixs18]

I truly appreciate and love the less is more approach to makeup as I am getting older. If I put on too much of any product my look turns fake immediately. It is harder and harder to do because you see less and your hands get shakier not to mention skin sagging. LOL 😂 I definitely remember watching my mother (French) putting on her makeup to go out. She did do the powder trick with her lipstick. I can’t believe I haven’t thought about that for over 50 years. I remember loving the smell of the powder she used on her face. No foundation. She filled in her eyebrows and she NEVER wore red lipstick. For my whole life she has worn a very bright coral lipstick. I think she could’ve really rocked some darker colors. Anyway thanks for the memory and thanks for your “French Videos”. I am enjoying them very much.

[@PARoth2011]

I’m glad I’m not the only older woman watching, I’m in my 60’s and have heritage is French also. I really need to find hair styles and make up that work with this new reality and I love the way French styles are so chic and understated.

[@DeborahCarlston]

I Totally forgot that lipstick trick with tissues! A great one. Made watching valuable just for that. Also, I have that blush, rediscovered it, and was trying to figure out how to wear it. I also have that nail color and those lipsticks. Love that look on you. One thing I like to do if I've used a powder foundation, and powder products over them, is to take a wet face cloth, wring it out, and press it into my face when I'm done applying. It melds the colors, removes excess, and imparts a natural, dewy look. Sets everything too. I am so glad you are doing these French looks. I'm so tired of seeing heavy foundations, clownish blush, orange bronzer, and garish eye looks. Makeup should make us look pretty, not stagey. Such wonderful videos. Thank you.💚

[@Frenchforaday]

Hi Deborah :) Amazing tips for powder products. I will be trying this one tomorrow morning. As someone who has combination skin I often end up using only powder products and this can be a game changer for me. A huge thank you! xoxo

I was raised by grandparents. I came to see photos of people from the 1940s in very soft makeup with a intense lip color. I saw that there was something really lovely and luminous about that look. I personally only wear mascara on curled lashes. I do perfect my skin a little, but with a soft tinted moisturizer and a soft peach or rose blush. On my lips I use a darker peach or rose, blott it and then add clear gloss. I do have nice healthy skin. This has turned into an easy way for me to enhance my face.

I have Germanic/Italian/Hungarian european genetics (light skin, blue eyes and dark blonde hair with highlights). I tend to always mix my lipsticks. A darker rosy pink base (like Tom Ford 'Indian Rose') with a more nude/neutral center like Nars 'Barbara' or Revlon 'Nude Attitude'. They kind of mix together to form a rosy-tan neutral which is just the right amount of color but doesn't wash me out. I like to line lips with CT Pillow Talk or Mac Whirl.

[@lesliehatch-herman9325]

Tom Ford’s Indian Rose has been my go-to lipstick for awhile now. I have some distinctly English/Welsh/Scottish/Germanic genes at work-blue eyes, reddish (now with some grey) hair, pale skin with freckles. I’m in my mid-50s, and am trying to use less makeup more effectively. I appreciate your suggestion about the lipstick mix, and I’ll compare the two nude colors to see what might work best. Thank you, Liz!!

[@Frenchforaday]

Hi Lola and a huge thank you for watching my video :) Concealer can be tricky and I find that as we age less is more.

[@bitrudder3792]

Fun video! I think my mostly French DNA accounts for how attracted I have been to minimal makeup 😊. I resonate completely with the idea of showcasing your own beauty instead of painting on someone else's ideas. I was just in Mexico and it was so interesting to see how much make up the women slather on, not even necessarily using A cooler color palette when they're coloring really wanted that. They apply a warm color palette by default, probably because most people there do have a warm skin undertone. For the most part, like Italian women, a lot of them have the strong features that carry the weight of that much make up much better than I would with more northern DNA, Or whatever it is that gives me smaller pores and smaller features in general. No I never needed mascara when I was young, and foundation looked like a bit much even when it was a great color (coverage for those occasional breakouts!), Clownish, really. Like I have been playing in my mother's make up drawer. All I needed was a little brow plucking, and lipgloss. (For a while I even put clear lipgloss on my eyelids. Interesting phase!) Now at over 60, I attribute good skin to heredity plus leaving it alone for the most part. Gentle exfoliation and the occasional mask, all non-toxic non-chemical products for the most part. I cleanse it with water, and sometimes with the oil cleansing method. I love it that people think I'm younger than I am. I don't do additional SPF protection because I want my vitamin D & minimize polyunsaturated oil intake. I go without foundation most of the time, but when I want a polished look I haven't found anything better or more convenient than the Christina compact. It's a compact of four colors (with lots of different options depending on your skin tone). Depending on the time of year I dip into either the lighter or the darker tones more. You can literally buff away minor imperfections and it does a good job of hiding bigger imperfections. There's a light highlighter (Which I rarely use), A deep neutral for eyes (Which is my summer tan foundation choice because I don't really do eyeshadow), a lighter neutral for skin (My regular foundation choice, occasionally mixed with the darker one as my skin changes from summer tan to winter pale), and a blush/bronzer color (which is fun to use in the summertime to enhance an outdoorsy Sun-kissed glow). It gives me the no make up look that I love while providing a professional polished look. What I love the most about it is how easy it is to travel with a little compact, a few different brushes, mascara and a little lip color and I'm good to go all in one little Zip bag. I love your mascara trick, even though it feels a bit wasteful. I never seem to be able to wipe enough mascara off of the wand to get that clean look. I'm definitely going to try it. My lashes are no longer thick and full as they used to be, and a few have turned gray, so the mascara helps and I use a narrow angled brush to put on a super fine line of dark eyeshadow as my eyeliner. Regular eyeliner it just started to look a little too harsh. The fine line of powder makes it look like I've got thicker lashes, naturally. 😮Sometimes it's deep, dark taupe, a dark graphite gray, or even a dark green gray. Depends on my mood. I love blending lipstick color also, and my goal, my favorite, is to go with the color of my lips, the deeper color just further in my mouth. Semi gloss still seems to work despite my age, Oddly enough. I mix whatever colors I've got to achieve that. Polished and completely harmonious.

[@thordisfynehair9442]

I have to chuckle a little because when a teen...I had very little money for makeup. I just did my eyes. No blush. Lipstick for special occasions. Now that I am in my 70's it is about the same. Now, it is still the eyes, soft eyeshaow, soft blush, soft lip color. Bolder reds for special occasions. I get compliments for "looking young." I am not sure if they are complimenting me or flattering me...I know very well I am not young or beautiful. lol. When I was young I was much more interested in being a barefaced "tom boy." When I got older I learned how to look more "put together." Still...I like working in my garden, no make up at all...just a smudge of dirt, a leaf or twig caught in my hair sometimes. 😉

Hi, French girl here, i'm 44 yo, I confirm that I never do contouring, my daily routine is good hydratation, powder foundation applied with a brush and not a sponge, some pinkish and orange blush blended together on cheekbones and nose, then I powder translucent powder and highlight on needed parts including my eyes. That's it. No concealer, I use lip balm but rarely colors on lips. In fact I practise lazy make up 😂

[@Frenchforaday]

Hi lovely :) A huge thank you for walking us through your routine. To me it looks like a very chic and effortless beauty routine. I hope you will keep sharing with us French beauty tips in the future as well. xoxo

[@Luv4taffy1]

I absolutely love this look!!!

[@vibrantly50]

Thank you so much for these tips…I am living in Portugal now and am looking for a more European look. I have fallen in love with Cindy Joseph’s BOOM sticks for very quick daily makeup.

Quand j'ai vu la miniature, j'ai pensé que vous étiez Parisienne 🤗 J'ai énormément apprécié votre façon de décrire nos habitudes en matière de beauté et de goûts, vous êtes une fine observatrice et absolument dans le vrai à 💯% Je pense que nous faisons les choses un peu à notre façon, intuitivement, avec parcimonie, définitivement différemment des autres et sans doute un peu à contre-courant 😅😊

This has to be my favorite series in a long time. So chic and classic; totally my aesthetic 🖤 I did know that lipstick trick but have completely forgotten. Thank you for the reminder. The Chanel Water Fresh Tint would be a fantastic complexion product to use in order to obtain that glow.

[@Frenchforaday]

Hi Sara :) I think I love the water fresh tint just as much as you do. Sending you hugs and have a great week ahead. xoxo

[@helenadw3357]

I love the tips ..thankyou so much

[@waywardsister8367]

Late to the party but oh my word! Someone who has my colouring, almost. I'm Irish so I'm a little paler but dark hair, pale skin and blue eyes. I hope I can do this.

[@Frenchforaday]

@waywardsister8367 Welcome to my channel! And thank you so much for watching. 🫶

[@FreshGrey-pm4vw]

when in paris I enjoyed the red lip with just a little eye liner. I love make up and enjoy many styles of beauty including bright eye shadow looks, etc. it should be fun!

[@karenskinner4892]

Love it so understated chic..I notice no eyeliner..I wonder if it she's me to wear it..gonna try this look...beautiful...

[@lupechacon-florez7520]

Angela I am so happy to find your channel. Being part French I have always appreciated this elegant and classic style. I will be visiting beautiful Paris soon. What month would you say is the best time to be in Paris amongst all the locals?

[@mgparis]

Ciao bella, thank you for not doing the red lip - contrary to popular belief, most French women actually wear little to no visible lipstick I totally agree, it's all about the complexion!

[@Frenchforaday]

Thank you so much! :) I have the same impression. French women would not wear a red lip every day. Have a wonderful week ahead and thank you for watching! xoxo

[@mgparis]

@@Frenchforaday Grazie a te :) The Milan Duomo is my fave monument in the world, I envy you (even though I live in Paris which isn't too bad either :)

[@christina4465]

I appreciate your photos and videos of Paris. I think Paris is a great city and I love traveling France 🇫🇷 in general. 👍🏻🤩 Their beauty esthetics are very chic and naturally beautiful. Of course, I do think knowing what skin care works for you would be the 🔑 key to looking beautiful no matter where you are from. Thank you, thank you for sharing as always, Angela! I am looking forward to see more from the French series. I hope Angela and all of you, have a great day!❤😍🇫🇷💄💝❤️

[@lidialesniak2052]

[@Frenchforaday]

Hi Lidia :) This is one of the topics in the coming weeks. Please stay tuned for the next episodes of French for a Day :) xoxo

[@carrieg837]

Love this!

[@Frenchforaday]

Hi Carrie :) Thank you so much! Have a great weekend! xoxo

[@hillywood1777]

Who knew I've been French all this years 😉😂😂 .... I usually mix red lipstick too... You looked beautiful.. with or without make up. Thank you for the video 💕

I live part time in Marseille, and false lashes as well as lash extensions are surely a thing there, with teenagers in particular. Also, just to be sure: not everybody gets hooded eyes with aging. It depends on the architecture of the orbital bone, how deep your eyes are set, etc. You lose fat in the face, and the effect for some is to make the eyes actually more hollow, thus creating more space for the eyelid to cover. I have this (deepset large eyes), and so did my grandmother. My mother and sister both have 'bulging' eyes, they got the hooded thing. Menopause changed my eyes rather for the better, shapewise, never again hormonal puffiness and also, to my surprise and huge relief, no longer 'prominent eye' where the iris appears to 'swim' - not a nice look, especially in pictures; usually large eyes. (Beatrice of York suffers from this, too). It's not all downhill, apparently lol

[@pheart2381]

I think Beatrice has charming eyes. She looks alive and sparkly.

[@Loufi303]

@@pheart2381 Oh, i am the first to agree.To me she looks like a real life Manga character, with her huge peepers - unfortunately looking startled in pcs often due to prominent eye, and ridiculed relentlessly because of it in the comment sections, her petite nose and beautiful red 'manes'. She is the best famous example of prominent eye and it makes sense that this would be someone born into fame. Prominent eye will hinder any career in modeling or acting, due to the described effects. Cheers

I didn t know spf applies in layers. Thank you!
