Forever Chic

Chapter Three:
Le Maquillage
More Than Ever, Less Is More
 
 
The overall goal for the Frenchwoman is to appear natural. Hair, skin, style, makeup…a lot of effort may go into achieving it but the goal is a natural, effortless appearance. Tish Jett discusses makeup (maquillage) in Chapter Three, breaking it down into the following categories:
 
Foundation – choosing the right color, texture/type, how to apply
 
Powder – translucent powder and how to apply
 
Bronzer – how to apply for a sun-kissed look
 
Eyes – mascara, eyeliner, eye shadow, highlighter, eyebrows 
 
Lips – the two lipsticks every woman needs
 
Cheeks – cream or powder?
 

Fragrance – No discussion of French beauty is complete without perfume.This was my favorite part of Chapter Three. I started wearing fragrance before I was a teenager. Love’s Baby Soft, anyone? I then graduated to Charlie which I thought was quite grownup. And then during high school I discovered Shalimar by Guerlain.. Real French perfume. I was immediately captivated by it and have worn it almost exclusively ever since. It’s expensive but I consider it a necessity and wear it every day. I feel naked without it, and not in a good way. 


 
 
This was a fun chapter containing a number of helpful beauty tips. I love the quote the author uses to end the chapter:

“It’s a privilege to be a woman; every woman should abuse that privilege. Forget the past. Do everything according to love, pleasure and passion.” ~ Eric Antoniotti
