What makes the French woman unique is her carefree attitude in life. As the French say “se le vie” which means “that’s life… whatever will be will be”.
In the fashion and beauty world, the French philosophy is often one of “less is more.” For makeup, they believe in enhancing what you have rather than concealing and putting a mask on. The idea is to look as though you had just woken up while also appearing effortlessly natural and pretty. Skincare is the primary focus because, without good skin, makeup doesn’t look as good. This philosophy is also about using what is most convenient like using lipstick not only for lips, but also as a blush or by using some lip balm on your cheekbones to create a natural highlight. The same thing goes with mascara, which aims to get the most use out of it by using it as eyeliner as well. Tinted moisturizers or BB creams are usually what is used to have an even complexion rather than caked on foundation. Bold eyeliner or red lip is considered to be more like a fashion accessory. It doesn’t have to be a full face of makeup.
The French also have a very simplistic way of approaching fashion. They believe in having staple items in their wardrobes such as a basic white shirt, jeans and a blazer. They use these staple items and style them uniquely to create various outfits. Rather than wearing a trend, the French find their own unique style and stick with that.
As far as the lifestyle goes, the idea is to take your time with life and avoid living in a rush. Eat your food slowly and enjoy every bite. Don’t go to the gym when you don’t feel like it, instead find an exercise that brings you joy.
In conclusion, anyone can have a French mindset and lifestyle. The idea is just to not care that much about the past and future but instead live in the present and make the most out of your natural beauty. The main philosophy is to accept who you are and enhance what you already have, rather than drawing on another face or change the way you look entirely.
