BEAUTY FEATURE FRIDAY – IT’S A LIFESTYLE
I thought I’d do BEAUTY FEATURE FRIDAY a bit differently this week and talk about a lifestyle rather than a specific brand etc…
I chatted to make-up artist and spokes person for Loreal S.A, Sylvie Hurford on being French. There is a very cool, kind of relaxed and yet very polished and manicured look about French Women, and I wondered how to ‘Get that look’.
As Sylvie explains,French women always look groomed and polished without looking made up. They can be wearing something very casual (as seen below) but yet look like they’ve stepped out of the glossiest of magazines.
With most of the beauty technology these days coming from France, French women are educated on looking after their skin. So when wearing any sort of foundation, keep it light and sheer and don’t plaster on heavy foundations. Sexy skin is dewy and touchable. Try Ahava Mineral Make Up, deadsea algae loose powder. It’s ultra sheer, age-defying and hydrating. (in stores soon)
Sylvie’s 3 key tips to looking French:
1.) lips: A beautiful red lip is the key item and most popular amongs sexy french women. Syvlie recommends Loreal Colour Riche with it’s new hydrating formula for a sumptuous pout.
2.) Nails: Sylvie says to keep nails short and square with lashings of colour. Always keep hands moisturized and soft. Hands are a dead give away to whether you’re groomed or not. I’m loving Essie Mid Night Cami. Navy is such a classic French Colour.
3.) Eyes: Sylvie stresses the importance of a well defined eye and recommends using a thin black liquid liner or grey pencil for a Smokey look. NB! Keep eyebrows neat and well shaped.
Thanks to Sylvie for all her tips and knowledge! Happy French Friday ladies… Now go be sexy! You’ve got the tips!
