October's Beauty Products

Stash Less in Your Make-Up Bag - Contouring and strobing are no-no's. In France, women keep their look pretty but pared down and really only use a few key essentials.

Smoky Eye Palette - A French mandate: Eyes or lips, never both. When playing up their gaze, they tend to go for sultry shadow combos.

Try Dior Eye Reviver Illuminating Eye Palette - £52



Red Lipstick - If we had to pick only one must have, it would be this classic shade of red.

Try Jouer Hydrating Lipstick in Simone £18




Mascara - If nothing else, pump up lashes to achieve that whole flirty ingénue vibe.

Try Lancôme Hypnose Mascara in Black £22



Foundation - Its all about looking breezy, so skip a heavy formula and opt for something lightweight.
