Inside every medicine cabinet in France, you’ll find a mix of high- and low-end products. Here, we ask some of the top French stylists and makeup artists what their staples are.
1. La Roche-Posay Hydraphase Intense. “I don’t use aggressive anti-aging treatments,” says perfumer Camille Goutal. “This moisturizer softens with hyaluronic acid.”
2. Guerlain Terracotta Bronzer. “Every French woman has it in her handbag,” says makeup artist Maud Laceppe. The tawny powder subtly warms skin but doesn’t overwhelm it.
3. Rodin Olio Lusso Face Oil. “A few drops makes skin soft and glow-y,” says Laceppe.
4. Bioderma Créaline H20 Solution Micellaire. It dissolves makeup and doesn’t require rinsing.
5. Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse. “We use this oil on our hair, in our bath, on our body, and under makeup,” says Goutal.
6. Clarins Double Serum. “I use this daily,” says Claire Courtin-Clarins. “Combined with cream, it provides the perfect amount of hydration.”
7. Collosol Milk. “It’s a cleanser for baby bottoms, but it’s good for any type of sensitive skin,” ays actress Clémence Poésy. “You can use it to wash, tone, and hydrate.”
8. Dior Crème Abricot for Nails. “I apply it every night before I go to bed,” says model and L’Oréal Paris spokeswoman Inès de la Fressange.
