You just can’t beat French-girl chic!

Not only do French girls look effortlessly fabulous but they never look overdone. You don’t see French girls walking around in full Instagram makeup, or Kardashian makeup the way you do in the states – they would find that incredibly gauche. Instead they look casually gorgeous. Nothing too perfect, they don’t look like they are trying too hard.
Here is the 411 on how to channel your inner French girl. (This post contains affiliate links)
Don’t bother with concealer. A little reality under the eyes is refreshing.
No heavy foundation. French girls like to see and feel skin instead of thick, caked on foundation. Find a light formula like Makeup Forever’s Water Blend Face and Body Foundation or a BB cream to subtly even out your skin.

Subtle Brows. I have yet to see a single set of Instagram eyebrows on a French girl! Use a good pencil like Charlotte Tilbury’s Brow Lift
and gently create a soft brow. Another alternative is to use a colored brow gel.
Work your lashes. Lashes are enhanced but not caked on. Get a great mascara like Clarins Supra Volume Mascara from Bloomingdales.com, and build out a good thick fringe of lashes.
Add a little liner and you are good to go.

A red lip. Maybe it’s a little clichéd but why not rock a bold red lip? I probably see more French girls sporting soft, glistening yet barely there glosses than big red lips, but why not own the town in Charlotte Tilbury Hot Lips in Carina’s Love?

A striped T. I’ve never met a stripe I didn’t love. Your inner French girl is craving the ultimate Parisienne-chic striped tee, and you can find it at Kule.com where the t-shirts are fashionably cut, the fabrics are beautiful, the stripes are perfect, and the look is quintessentially french!

Throw and Go Hair.

French girls look so perfect by not being perfect! Hair that is slightly mussed, that looks a little thrown together is perfectly Parisienne. The cut is always perfection, the color is subtle but gorgeous – no platinum blondes or trashy Barbie blondes.
Think Clemence Poesy instead of Pamela Anderson.

The Met Gala: How To get Emma Roberts’ Look

Emma Roberts looked stunning on the Met Gala Red Carpet. Emma’s look was created by Charlotte Tilbury, and I have a product by product breakdown of what she used to create this old Hollywood gorgeousness!

Emma Roberts Met Gala 2017

Charlotte created an illuminating Beauty Glow makeup look for Emma Roberts. This look is all about a dreamy, lit-from-within glow on flawless, pore-less contoured skin, soft, rose-gold metallics on the eyes to make them look bigger and brighter, and sumptuous, fuller, wider lips. This post contains affiliate links.

 

1. Charlotte prepped Emma’s skin the night before using her Instant Magic Facial Dry Sheet Mask and Overnight Bronze and Glow Mask so she already had glowing, natural looking tan skin. To hydrate the skin that morning, she applied her cult-favorite Magic Cream to the entire face followed by Magic Eye Rescue underneath the eye. To create a luminous base, Charlotte applied Wonderglow to help redirect light and create a spotlight effect on the carpet followed by Magic Foundation in Shade 2 & Shade 3 and Airbrush Flawless Finish in shade 2 and shade 3. She then applied the Mini Miracle Eye Wand in Shade 1 underneath Emma’s eyes for instant brightness and luminosity.

2. Next, Charlotte brushed up Emma’s already gorgeous brows with Brow Lift in Rita to frame her smoldering eyes. She fixed them with Legendary Brows in Clear.

3. To create a soft, shimmering modern rose-gold metallic look that played up Emma’s beautiful green-hazel eyes, and pull out the amber lights in them. Charlotte first curled Emma’s lashes using her Life Changing Lashes eyelash curler. Next, Charlotte mixed the prime and enhance from the Instant Look In A Palette in Beauty Glow and Luxury Palette in The Dolce Vita on the lid and smudging it out underneath the eye. She then elongated Emma’s eye using The Classic Eyeliner in Audrey and added the Rock N’ Kohl Pencil in Eye Cheat to make her eyes look even bigger and brighter and whiter. She topped off the eye look with the pop shade in the Luxury Palette in Dolce Vita to create a 3-dimensional shimmer on Emma’s eye. Finally, she amped up the eye with lashings and lashings of Legendary Lashes Mascara.

4. To achieve Emma’s Hollywood contour, Charlotte sculpted Emma’s cheekbones with the bronze shade from her Instant Look In A Palette in Beauty Glow. She added pops of dreamy highlighter from the palette to the tops of the cheekbones and the Cupid’s Bow for ultimate Beauty Glow. For additional dewiness, Charlotte added the Beach Stick in Moon Beach onto Emma’s cheekbones.

5. Charlotte cheated and re-sized Emma’s lips with her best-selling Lip Cheat Lip Liner in Pillow Talk and Matte Revolution Lipstick in Pillow Talk to tie the look together. It’s the ultimate celebrity supermodel lip.

6. To finish off the look, Charlotte contoured Emma’s arms and legs with Supermodel Body and created a magic halo of Scent of a Dream.
