Sometimes I am just *that* French, I wear stripes, a beret, eyeliner and red lipstick in one crazy frogs legs flavoured combo.
I know a lot of you are into that particular make-up style so I thought I would share my wisdom with everyone...
First, there are a few key items you should always carry with you, as demonstrated below:
I love this look because it is really easy to do and it will perk up your face on days you are feeling / looking a bit tired. The only tricky part is to apply the eyeliner, but it comes fairly easy with some practice. If you want tips on applying eyeliner, please have a look at my video here.
I know you often hear that you shouldn't wear heavy eye make-up and red lipstick. It is actually only half true. You can, but only if you dress down. Here for example, I am only wearing a striped tee and jeans.
The main things to remember to recreate and wear this look are:
♥ Keep your skin nice and even with powder and/or foundation.
♥ Don't overdo it on the clothes, your make up is already pretty strong.
Love these tips! The eyeliner always looks so stunning on your eyes. If only I had the shape of your eyes to reproduce this at home!
ReplyDeleteI am very grateful for your make up video, I was thinking of spending £15 on Benefit's Babe Cake but instead just went and bought the 2True eyeliner, which is working great. Now I've just got to work at being able to do it in under ten minutes! Although some people might consider the lipstick and eyeliner too much, I think it tends to be more if you've got a lot of eyeshadow on, and I think the eyeliner always look quite simple if striking. Also, I love it when you look really French, embrace your wonderful national style!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great post, you look amazing, your eyeliner is perfect! I have been considering learning how to do eyeliner for awhile now (currently I am hopeless), and I have somehow missed your video posts so I will have to come back when I have more time to watch them and absorb your advice. Thanks :-)
ReplyDeleteI usually avoid liquid eyeliner for day wear as I'm paranoid about getting it wet. I guess if I avoid that outer corner of my eye, I can also avoid the wind-in-my-face-tear-induced smudge! Might give it another go.
ReplyDeleteNice post. A simple and clean look with lots of personality! I love Maybelline Superstay too!
ReplyDeleteYour blog is an absolute treasure chest of inspiration. Thank you so much, I'm so glad I found it!
ReplyDeleteYou are a French delight, Laetitia! This is my go to makeup look when I want to look beautiful and classic. So I pretty much wear it every day. ;)

ReplyDeleteHey Laetitia :) I was just wondering where you got that rather gorgeous stripy top from, as I have been searching for the right one for aaages and I just can't seem to find it...:( but that one looks great and I would appreciate it if you could help me out :) thanks! x
ReplyDeleteReading this has made me realise that I already dress quite française, without actually knowing!
ReplyDeleteAlso I love that necklace - I own one too.. <3
