Parisian women are delicious! They are always young, their skin glows with health, and they are always very well-groomed. What is their secret?
Secret 1: knowledge is power
They know themselves 100%. They do not fight with windmills, they know their face inside and out, and they never try to pump themselves up a "beak" in tribute to fashion, but simply make an accent in their makeup to sculpt something else out of it. They know exactly their strengths and weaknesses. Skillfully emphasize advantageous facial features, and masterfully hide less attractive ones. For example, if a French woman has thin lips and expressive eyes (like Audrey Tautou, for example), she will focus on the eyes. And he will win!
Secret 2: a sense of proportion
Parisian women are very reserved. They feel the measure, they know a lot about the concept of "golden mean" like no other. They groom themselves, wear makeup daily, but never overdo it. They will not leave the house in the morning even for coffee with a croissant without makeup and styling, but they will not put on full war paint, like on the red carpet. They know exactly what will be appropriate and where, and what will be “too much”.
Secret 3: "Parisian standard" in makeup
These sophisticated ladies have their own signature make-up:
a little transparent powder, rarely a foundation that evens out the tone;
blush darker than skin color by one tone to simulate the oval of the face;
shades of warm shades from vanilla to chocolate, most often satin, without par-of-pearl;
mascara is the main "trump card", Parisian women do not regret it;
lip gloss or lipstick of exclusively natural shades and muted colors, however, women over 45 can afford bright colors for an evening out;
nail polish of a natural shade - usually French, it's not for nothing that it was named that way.
Secret 4: the cult of clear skin
In Paris, they say that ugly women do not exist, there are unkempt women. A native Parisian does not “buy” cosmetics, she “invests” in herself. There are a million grooming jars on their dressing tables. They visit a beautician regularly. Healthy clean skin is the key to beauty. You will not find a Parisian woman with pimples or blackheads, age spots or rosacea - they treat all imperfections. This is an immutable rule. For French women, it is not clear how you can turn a blind eye to skin imperfections ?! This is akin to a disease - if you have a runny nose, can you cure it? So it is with the skin.
Secret 5: flavor
Of course, the Parisian's main secret weapon is her perfume. It is not customary to save on this expense item in France. Every woman in Paris has several favorite scents that she uses on a case-by-case basis. This is logical, because France is the perfume capital, the alma mater of world-famous “noses”. Everybody follows the new perfumery here, including the elderly and even children. It is believed that only perfumes add completeness to the image.
