Brands and brands of the best French color cosmetics
french brand Givenchy
french brand Dior

Ethereal, pink and timelessly beautiful, the infamous Dior lip gloss is a must-have object of love in any makeup lover’s lip kit. You can’t go wrong with any of the lipglow shades or finishes, but the subtle shimmer of this holographic color is perfection in a tube.

While the original Diorshow mascara usually takes the top prize due to its cult status, I personally prefer this silver French tube for mastering unrivaled length, curl and long lashes.
French cosmetics brand Lancôme
French cosmetics brand Sisley Paris

Every makeup product within the Sisley Paris family has quality ingredients, but their lipsticks consistently manage a perfect balance of color, moisture, and hold. Plus, the range of shades looks great on all skin tones.
While I always love the idea of cream blushes and many do look good immediately after application, they don’t always wear well. As someone who typically wears makeup for over 12 hours, I know they will wear off. But this comfortable twist-up version from Sisley Paris is different. First, they really hold on, and second, they’re easy to blend – whether you’re applying it on bare skin or layering over foundation or powder.
French cosmetics brand Talika

While French brand Talika is, for the most part, all about skin care, its arch-changing brow pens are too good not to mention. The result is natural and stays in place for as long as you need it.
“French women will never go without adding a nice curl to their lashes and will always use lash conditioner. Talika offers an amazing lash conditioner that promotes growth and thickness.”
French cosmetics brand Yves Saint Laurent
cosmetics brand Chanel

Celebrity makeup artist Kara Yoshimoto Bua recommends Chanel’s Vitalumière Aqua Ultra-Light Skin Perfecting Sunscreen Makeup SPF 15 because it’s pigmented yet leaves a finish that looks like real skin. She uses her fingers to swipe makeup lightly over red areas and layer as an under-eye concealer or for spot coverage.
French cosmetics brand Written by Terry

French women prep their skin before applying makeup with proper serums, moisturizers, and pharmaceutical vitamins. They will use a rich serum and a subtle moisturizer to seal moisture into the skin. In cold weather, they use a thicker moisturizer.
French cosmetics brand Guerlain
French cosmetics brand Bourjois

Bourjois is a must-have and commonly stocked make-up brand in her French homeland. I don’t know anyone who doesn’t own Bourgeois makeup (especially their eye shadow!).
French cosmetics brand 1944 Paris

While the above offers a convertible finish perfect for cheeks and lips, we have a serious moment with this cherry red lipstick that basically looks like our French lipstick dreams.
