We Went To Paris And Asked 13 Women Their Beauty Secrets | BAZAAR x Paris 

Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.

like Chanel said simplicity is the key to elegance

This is exactly what I love about French women! I've been making gradual changes to my skin care and wordrobe b/c I want to look classic without having to put a huge amount of effort into planning my clothing. I have a long way to go, though.

@@reginasemenenko148 same❤️

lol i read this now and i do the complete opposite

I didn't see anyone dressed especially nicely. Yes sweatpants are unacceptable, but for the most part it seems like they just wear jeans and a nice shirt or blazer

This is based on their history. In earlier times France was known for its fashion which was extravagant, all over the world. They had the most expensive costumes

how about this: women can wear yoga pants; women can wear nice outfits; women can wear lots of makeup; women can we very little makeup or no makeup at all. Women doing whatever the f*ck they want 2019.

Asalis Zabollone yes they will. Stop the clichés. I was born and raised in Paris, we do not care

Its no excuse, but I'm just letting you know that the indians bullying you gor your curls, is learned behaviour due to British rule/colonisation. Straight hair, is seen as stereotypically European. So thats why its the beauty standard back in Asia.

thats such a beautiful story!

☝️ I agree.

I have always taken really good care of my skin. I think that is most important and a little lipstick.

Yes, health looks good on everyone!

But parisians smoke like crazy 😲

Thank you!

It does not make you better, but sure it makes you less of a clown

@@EmyN Comparing people to clowns for wearing makeup is taking a mean girl attitude, it's unnecessary. I could just as easily compare many barefaced women to zombies with their dark tired undereyes. Don't tear people down for doing something that brings them more confidence. For some women it's makeup, for others it might be working out, others obsess over their hair, others with their clothes or accessories. Everyone has that one thing that makes them feel better about themselves.

@@Kay2be2mr talking about her having a mean girl attitude but to prove your point you really had to write '...compare many barefaced women to zombies with their dark tired undereyes' lmao It's unnecessary, right? 😉 So next time when you decide to tell someone not to bring people down, do it yourself because if not you are just blabering nonsensical bullshit and being hypocritical

@@poli8153 That was obviously exactly my point. Don't say things you don't want said back to you.

Parizankah no kidding. American women cake on their makeup then they wonder why men run away when they take it all off

but you don't use sunscreen ?

@@ghtm6437 no we don't, only when we go in an other country where it hot or when we go out to get tanned and the sun is really really hitting hard. I think only people who have whitest skin among all or/and are afraid to get burned put sunscreen .

thanks

I am trying a French skincare routine and makeup routine and i hope see change in my skin. I don’t really trust the the American ways though I am American. So thank you for writing this it is very helpful

Totally agree

Do you actually live in Paris? Because this woman barely exists here.

amen! finally someone say it

"im so over the romanticization of french women" Salty much?

Bertha Lovejoy I'm french and I am so over the romanticization of french women myself..litteraly we are like any other woman..and tbh if anyone wants to wear drag or simple make-up it's nothing to shame nor romanticize🙄

The "french woman" has become this american franchise that some americans buy into and brands and the industry like to explore that idea. I do feel that there is obviously a lot of beautiful unique style traits in the french woman but what american are doing lately is out of control :) I once said that american are obsessed with french in a forum and I was condemned but I only said that because of the quantity of books on how amazing and do-it-all-right french are on Amazon. I was replied that is natural since the french are an icon and all the world adore them. Even the reply seemed like a cult :) PS- I love both countries.

Joshima M chill out lol all she is saying is that they making it seem like French women are very natural whereas American women cake their face with makeup when it isn't even like that lmao

Cami Camila they party alot

The real secret is ENJOY LIFE AND ACCEPT YOURSELF JUST LIKE YOUR ARE, WITH ALL YOUR FLAWS AND BEAUTY. DO WHAT MAKES YOU FEEL GOOD AND NATURAL, YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL NOT MATTER WHAT.

Oh our secret is not very hard, we put croissant on our face, we do human sacrifice and then we drink baguette. Very simple

Clementine O t'es drôle ; c'est rare de trouver

Va leur expliquer qu'on va pas se lever à 4h30 du mat pour aller à la salle et ensuite se faire un brushing

Certainly not Paris then 😂😂😂(I know Paris isn't a country) Beauty secret : Do not stress and don't be a student

Oh. So they're fake Parisiennes or what are you saying?

@@leonamay8776 Paris is a capital city of France 😝😝 you think Parisian women huh 😝😝

@@visualbeauty3427 yes, I know. Part of my family live in Paris. But Paris does *not* have clean air. (Parisienne is also a brand of cigarettes where I live. It was basically a pun about "real women from Paris" not living in a place with clean air.)

Omgg that Tik Tok tutorial I’m dyingggggggg

We've got a few more videos from Paris like this queued up! Make sure you're subscribed :)

A series with other cities would be cool

St. Barts STOP ROMANTICISING FRENCH WOMEN I can assure you there a very few simple no makeup beauties in France we are like any other country

Makeup in the 50s was everything but simple!

Yeah it's called rouge-à-lèvres even if it's blue😂

and it's "translation" not "traduction" 😉 (jsuis française hihi)

Yes!!! As a French speaker, even I am tired of this ahah

I am French and I can differenciate French people by the way the look, people from different countries look different. It is not an accent thing.

@@circejanuary You look mixed, like French and African.

@@helloitisme7430well no, ahahaha

@@circejanuary You are fully French?

Give me number of your nana !! Lol

@HI HEY HELLO because sugar can speed up aging.

🧡 and she knows where her garden comes from! Elle meme

@HI HEY HELLO because it can have too much processed additives

Perfume does not xicer the smell of someone who hasn't showered. No wonder why BO is so bad in this country.

@@lavinder11 Long hot showers are shameful and wasteful. No one needs to take a half hour boiling hot shower to get clean. They just do not.

​@@13heheTell that to the folks who leave their homes smelling rank as hell. Hopefully you aren't one of them.

@@lavinder11 damn. I also heard that most french people don't like taking long showers. They just get ready, put some perfume and go out. I thought it was a myth but turns out it's actually true 😓

@@lavinder11 Hopefully one day you learn some goddamn manners and not to discriminate people based on their origins, you internet asshole.

gosh.. shut up!

We get it, you’re a nice guy

Thank you! Why do you need to be rude? People just need to chill wow

You are like the first straight guy on this comment section.

lightning hahahha

Good comment

That's why you need to exercise and eat the right food. Not McDonalds and pizza takeout everytime.. The French walk a lot and even the school meals are healthy.

💯

Their skins were flawless

Parisian born - take care of your base. Your face is a canvas, and should be treated as such. Most french girls won’t wear SPF, but as a derma, this is fundamentally one of the most important things you can do for your skin. I was drilled about skincare from pre-teen. It has stood me in good favour, even more so now I study scalp/skin for a living. 🌹

Why should they look drop dead gorgeous for you to go dammmn girl? That's probably the whole point, they are confidrnt in their skin and don't go above and beyond to please others with beauty because their lifestyle is more living in the moment and pleasure oriented.

The French alot of them smoke way too much. Disgusting habit and drinking too much wine is not good for you.

Hi..

If you love the way you look with more makeup on, then do it!!! You're free to express yourself in whatever way you want!

Makeup is a fun way to express yourself, you do you :)

Girl same

That's awesome!! It's too fussy for me. But we should all do what we enjoy. And makeup is clearly something you enjoy! And I bet you look awesome.

nope it's not 'always'.

@@esindirik4447 Always.

διμουρο κουλι I don't know though because I myself am not skinny whatsoever but I'd like to say my skins quite decent, I've seen plenty of skinny girls with acne. My diet isn't amazing but I drink plenty of water I feel like that's what makes a real difference and avoiding spicy food lol.

How do you know they feel it's not sexy to show skin? And what according to you is the reason for their self confidence?

Which country are you from?

Big eyes

People don't understand the concept of "genetics". People with naturally nicer skin will put their two cents in about skincare but in reality, people with acne know a lot more. "just do this and this and you'll have beautiful skin". Everyone is different and should have their own skincare regime. One thing they forgot to mention is the difference in stress levels and diets around the world. That's their secret.

Yes and also genetics. Science and our biological makeup are stronger than anything we ingest or any medication we can take for our skin. There is only so much we can change. I know people who workout 24/7 and eat all organic and non-dairy diets with cystic acne. Hormones and genetic as well. Please do research before you write "facts".

I can advice you to use a bit of lavender oil with water for your acne, no make up on it or it will not cicatrise efficiently. Always keep it clean and don't touch it or you will infect it, it's strictly discipline, I'm sure you already knew it. For discoloration, if it's red you can play around it : use a bit of concealer on it, maybe a bit of green concealer to get a pinker shade of your skin tone, and a pink blush (or lipstick) on the cheeks, discretely to recreate your blushy tone. For face hair, i know that people care about it and judge women as masculin if they don't remove it so anything you are gonna do with it will be a statement : agree or disagree. If you are ready to remove it, use a cream to hydrate skin, maybe a concealer to break shades. Or keep it. We generally remove lip hair and define eyebrows quickly. For redness, if that means your have red areas on your skin it's because blood vessels have dilated under the pressure so release it, hydrate with your lavender and then, just get able to see it like it will really be : skin is a whole, see it like a clear wall with its nice unique stuff. Purple under eye usually means that you are not having enough sleep. Drink water, sleep a little more, maybe wake up 30 min later with time freed by less makeup routine, concealer and that's it. Nothing will really go away as you will always remember it but it will be your face you will proudly show. And the more you'll see it, the more you will appropriate your image and you won't have to really think about it. You always can find ways that work better for you, oil prodigieuse, a specific cream... But you will ultimately feel like beauty comes from the inside and people are only gonna care about that. You will look effortless but you will be appreciated for your confidence and humility. Makeup is all about the way you look at yourself.

Tortue DeRien thank you very much for making this awesome comment. I will keep in mind the things you said. I even took a screenshot of it. I appreciate it very much.

I think what you eat is also important.

because it is a secret. Our secret is the art of simplicity.

The secret here is to be simple.. don't wear so much makeup..

That's the whole point...the "secret" is there really is no secret. Just work with what you have is basically what these women do.

troll

I agree with you, but there is more than one aspect to this: everyone has their own opinion, but that doesn''t neccesarily make it an universal law. If you know that, the world and the social media can say anything they want. :)

Anku uuu I think a lot of it is upbringing and lifestyle. My parents taught me to embrace my natural beauty and be charming with good character. I’m not a perfect person, obviously, no one is, but honestly, I feel so elegant in my own skin and very much relate to the French ways of style.

Where can you get this soap

Not as much as american or asian cosmetics. It's mostly luxurious brands that make cosmetics.

S. Y. Dats d whole point..they don use a lot of make up

S. Y. It depends where you live for me this was "exotic" because in the U.K women (old and young) love heavy fake tan, dark brows, lots of eyelashes etc. I heard it's similar in America nowadays.

Rainbow Cake most places in America most women don’t wear that much makeup on the average day

Well not in America and trust me u know I live there

Your fat Uncle most girls don’t wear makeup everyday

Jihye K you can still rock it!!!! Own your imperfections

Honey these women are very basic looking people, as a French girl I can assure u not all of us are beauty goddesses who can wear minimal makeup ! Love urself xxx

And clean Air
