“The French don’t care about being perfect. What does she want above all? Be fresh. And this is the height of its sophistication:a worked naturalness but above all not fixed, a spontaneous elegance but not too licked. We understand why this idea of “make-up lifestyle” (make-up that is easy to live with and gives style) was invented in France”, explains Lyne. Yes, but… what does it mean exactly to be fresh like a Frenchwoman? "It's the art of imitating skin that is extremely well hydrated and therefore very luminous." And for that, the Frenchwoman reduces her ritual to a minimum, a few essential gestures that waltz the border between care and make-up for an irreproachable "complexion-skin" result.
If we do the hydration job well, not only do we have natural light on the skin, but we have already done 60% of the job. We therefore religiously follow the Holy Trinity of well hydrated skin:very gentle make-up removal + a moisturizing lotion (preferably) + a care cream adapted to the type of skin (dry, normal or oily:we have our skin diagnosed to choose ). You can complete it by slipping a thirst-quenching serum under your treatment, such as Hydrating B5 by Skin Ceuticals, the “epidermis water bottle”. We like:its sensory texture instantly quenches and softens the skin. Top Secrets Instant Radiance Moisturizer, Yves Saint Laurent Beauté, €49.
One or the other is used as a concealer to camouflage only what disturbs the unity of the complexion:a pimple, a redness, a stain. We work it with the finger or with a sponge for a second skin effect. It is placed around the eyes to open the gaze and on the T zone if necessary. If we have natural redness on the cheekbone, we keep it. The idea? Create a natural blush effect. Avoid:total dullness, which tends to harden the complexion. If necessary, just powder the T zone (center of the forehead, line of the nose, chin). We like:the texture of this eye corrector that melts into the skin and conceals imperfections discreetly, Voile Correcteur Yeux, Shiseido, €29.50.
