The Five Basic French Faces That All Busy Moms Need
Bare Face: There are times in every mom’s life where you just don’t feel like wearing any makeup. The truth is it is perfectly okay to go without to let your skin breathe. French women are fans of the bare face since they are masters of always keeping their skin looking radiant and healthy.
In fact, wearing a bare face is actually a sign of confidence because you don’t feel the need to hide behind any makeup and that is beautiful! The best occasions to go bare faced are the gym, a relaxed day at home, or the beach.
Just make sure to wear your sunscreen when going bare-faced. Apply SPF as the last step in your skincare routine.
If you want to make your skin so much better and learn to take care of it like a French woman would, then you need to read my post on creating a French skincare routine for yourself. Have no fear of no makeup with beautiful natural skin!
Daytime Natural: For a daytime look that is both natural and polished, start with a tinted serum for the most natural coverage. Apply an eyebrow serum to effortlessly grow your brows darker over time.
Finish with a peachy-pink blush by tapping up and out just above your cheekbones with a blush brush. The best places for this look would be running errands, going to a play date with the kids, or an appointment. This is the perfect laid back bit of polish for any low key situation you find yourself in.
Smoky Eye: A smoky eye is the perfect look for date night or a night out with the girls. Start by applying a dark grey shadow in the to your lids, and then use a black pencil liner or black eyeshadow to line your upper and lower lash lines.
If you are extremely fair skinned, try using the eyeshadow as liner since it is not as harsh. Smudge the liner with an eyeshadow brush to create a smoky effect. Finish with mascara and a decadent lip oil in the shade powder pink.
Glamorous: This look is perfect for an event or special occasion. After applying your foundation, apply a glitter eyeshadow to your lids.
For extra fun, swipe a buttery glittery on your lids. Add a coat of mascara, and finish with a lip oil in the shade ruby red for the perfect show-stopping look.
Classic: This classic look is simple and chic. Start with a tinted serum and blend into to freshly moisturized skin. Next, add a touch of mascara, and fill in your lips with a buttery lip oil in the shade coral orange that lasts all day!
Finish with a slight tap of blush above your cheekbones for the perfectly flushed face. Don’t forget to use a brow gel to slightly define your eyebrows which will sharpen your face.
Wear this look anywhere from a business meeting, to a shopping mall, or even a family function; it’s sure to impress with just the right amount of polish and poise!
