Are Frenchwomen inherently stylish?
From their seamless ability to blend

everything they wear look effortless and
ageless, we cant help but think so. Here,
we share the seven key styling teachings
that fashionable Parisians follow.

fashion is about restraint
and balance. Even when

caution and usually stick

In 1966, Yves Saint

TIP
When a
Frenchwoman
wears a cat eye, its
nothing too graphic,
says Julie Cusson,
a makeup artist for
Chanel. She wants
the texture of her
skin to show, so
foundation is more
translucent, and
her lips are always
nude and natural.
French Kiss
French beauty sits somewhere between effortless nonchalance and focused care,
but at its core, its about celebrating you as you are. When it comes to lip colour,
there are two camps: Vive-la-rvolution reds and Bardot come-hither nudes.

Pictures The challenge: THINNING HAIR
Thinning hair is something most of us deal with as we age,
says Spence. It lacks life and volume and can make
even the brightest outts fall at.
The solution: PULL OUT ALL THE TRICKS
When it comes to healthy hair, choosing the right shampoo and conditioner is
crucial. Ive been wowed by the Pantene Colour Preserve Volume collection,
Spence says. I love that it helps protect my colour and keeps it radiant and
that it doesnt weigh down my hair. Its great to have a product with dual benets!
