It seems like many of us are in constant search of that elusive je ne sais quoi French women seem to possess. And, there’s no French family who possess it more than Jane Birkin and her daughters Lou Douillon and Nicolas Ghesquière muse, Charlotte Gainsbourg. Thankfully, for our luck, Charlotte recently collaborated with our favourite cosmetic brand, NARS Cosmetics to create the NARS x Charlotte Gainsbourg line of beauty products we plan on living in this summer.
Gainsbourg, like many French women, admittedly does not wear a lot of make-up, and her NARS collection reflects that pared-back aesthetic.
With Charlotte, NARS has updated their iconic multiple sticks with a more sheer formula that gives a natural flush to the cheeks and a slight wash of colour to the lips.
The coconut-oil infused lip tints sit more like a lip stain, but when layered, they give more impact.
The eye shadows are a little bit darker. The limited edition velvet formulas are well pigmented and have a cream-like texture that can easily be applied with fingertips. Paired with the perfectly smudgemable kohliners, you’ll look like you just rolled out of bed and still look oh so sexy.
While we may not be fluent in the language, with the NARS x Charlotte Gainsbourg collection, we feel we are one step closer to achieving the signature, au natural, look of a French woman.
And yeah, it helps to apply it with the likes of Gainsbourg’s records in the background.
C’est parfait!
