5 Chic French Women Reveal the Beauty Buys They Can't Live Without

While I've always trusted my French contemporaries to inform my wardrobe wares, it's only recently that I've really started to take note of the beauty products they use, too. Surely their trademark glowing skin and barely there (but beautiful) makeup isn't all down to genetics, right?
After dedicating the last few months to road-testing French beauty products, I'm all in. From lightweight serums to sensitive but high-performing cleansers, items on my bathroom shelf are becoming more Gallic by the day.
Continuing my quest to discover the best French beauty products and create their flawless looks for myself, I consulted five of the chicest French influencers I know to find out which beauty buys they personally swear by. Scroll below to see what they said.
