Don't: Get Lipstick On Your Teeth
French women live in red
lipstick, but somehow never get it on their teeth (the ultimate makeup
faux pas). The secret?
Once you apply it, place your index finger in between your lips, then pucker to blot off excess.

Don't: Wear The Wrong Foundation Shade
Our favorite Parisians never
seem to have that unsightly line of foundation across the jaw that shows
just how different their makeup is from the color of their
neck. Instead of piling on a thick layer of product, they prefer a dewy,
natural-looking complexion. Swap your high-coverage foundation
(especially if it doesn't perfectly match your skin tone) for something a
bit more sheer. That'll ensure that it blends better and looks
impossibly fresh.
Don't: Overpluck Your Eyebrows
The easiest way to look more French is to lay off the tweezers for a while. While their brows are usually grown out, that je ne sais quoi is all in the grooming, so make sure to comb strays into place with a spooley brush.
Don't: Go Overboard With The Contouring
You'll never catch a French
women with a nose contoured to perfection and cheekbones that shine like
the sun. They know just how to work with what they've got and highlight
their assets in a natural-looking way. Instead of layering multiple
highlighters to get a shine, use a face oil on the high points of your
face to look like you were born with perfect features.
Don't: Go To Sleep With Makeup On
If you're wondering how our
Parisian pals can get away with stepping out in barely any makeup at
all, it's because they take really good care of their skin. Think about
that the next time you curl into bed with your makeup on.
Don't: Fry Your Hair
Instead of heat styling your
hair to death (literally, it kills your hair), embrace your natural
texture. Apply hair oil to settle the frizz and your natural curl, wave
or straight hair will look trés chic always.
Don't: Wear A Chipped Mani
Have you ever seen a French
girl with chipped nails? Neither have we. Don't take shortcuts when
giving yourself a mani. Apply a base coat before your color and a top
coat to seal—it'll ensure that your polish stays put and looks shiny
longer.
