The only difference is I use a soft brown liner rather than black (black is too harsh on me), and lower lashes get mascara only at the outer edge--not all the way across, because it creates shadows & darkness under the eyes---not good for older women.

To not use use too much coverage on my skin because my skin look human not perfect and a pimple and texture would never ruin my beauty. To learn how to enhance my eyes ( i have hooded eyes unlike the rest of my family and they always been a complex of mine ) and not to change their natural shape.

Makeup. Less is More. American makeup artists and most women use SPF. Some foundations have SPF in them.

I prefer the French style because it’s an enhancement rather than a mask. Your face moves naturally and has become one with the makeup. It’s also a classic style that will never go out of fashion. I would perhaps take a few of the American products and apply them very minimally such as a very soft blush or the lightest bit of neutral shimmer on the eyes for special occasions. I also have to have both my reds and my nudes lipsticks! 💄💋

The Kardashians had a major influence, but American makeup culture isn't defined by theirs or any one single aesthetic. Makeup is big business in the US and there's both a positive and negative side to it. The negative, of course, is pressure placed on people (mainly women) to look "flawless" and reach some unattainable standard. The positive side is a fun celebration of makeup as an outlet for creativity. Let's stop acting like any one philosophy on makeup is better than another.

This was fun. As I age, I pull from both styles. Less obvious foundation is a better look for aging skin, yet it’s useful to cover veins or unsightly dark patches. Winged eyeliner can appear harsh, if applied heavily, but can “lift” the eye. Same for contouring the cheekbones. I also find that a nude lip can be youthful- especially those colors that make teeth appear whiter, yet a red lip is a classic look that is great for evening. I completely agree that if you’re going to do a bold red lip, you should go lighter on the eye shadow, and maybe also lighter with the liner. Thank you for not shaming either style.

While being ultra nice, you hammered the concept home - the American side will make you look flawless in every *photo.* Yes - because that quantity of makeup is designed for theater, film, and photo shoots! I understand why it's popular - when everyone lives and connects and expresses themselves via social media and photographs, *of course* they'd want to look good in pictures.

Agreed. The French side is where I am gravitating more these days too, as I dive deeper into my 50s. As much as it bums me out, the cat-eye/ wing thing looks silly on me. I have watched videos on applying cat-eye when one is older, and it worked for about 5 years, but not any more. I am pretty sure a makeup artist might still accomplish the look for me, but it looks atrocious when I try it (and it's turned from a fun play with makeup into a real chore).The only scenarios I could see it still work (possibly) would be in low-light situations or events such as going to the theater, nightclub, or if I were to ever play in bands again. I still LOVE eye junk, but as my eyes age, they are more deep-set and my lids drooping (unevenly at that!). So aside from the more "French" approach, I go the smoky route. For daytime, I use a neutral warm brown smoky eye. With my deeper-set eyes, I avoid any dark colors directly on the lids, but I do apply right along the lash-line and blend up from there into a very neutral lid color, or even a slight highlight/ shimmer. Smoky eye, I find, can actually range from muted to quite dramatic, so that's my new play-zone.

But I find now it works best only on occasion with thr barest eye makeup. The rest of the time I use a neutral nude. Charlotte Tilbury "Pillow Talk" works great for me, and I add a little colored lip balm to change it up a bit. Or just go with the lip balm. I still use a liner -- Huda Beauty's Venus is a great neutral color -- because I dont like the ball smearing or bleeding. Plus it makes it easier to add a little shape to my ever thinning upper lip.

I am an Argentinian living in the US, and yes, I agree with you in the super makeup style they use here. I do think it's gorgeous and I love to see it in events. I haven't seen it in everyday makeup though. I think it also depends on the city you live in. NY or LA are much more glamorous, but if you move away from big cities, classic and simple styles (like the french one) tend to show more. In my case, I use a mix of both, but as I have a white-latina skin I tend to prefer Mac or Bobbi Brown on me because of the warm undertone they have. Amazing video! :)

I like both! The French side is more sophisticated. That I would wear on daily basis (only with a bit of eyeshadow and no eyeliner). The US side is beautiful too, more glamorous, for parties. I like to experiment with both.

I’m from Buenos Aires and just noticed my mom taught me how to apply make up in the “French style”, but later I took lessons to learn the “American style”, which I found too complicated and to take excessively long. So, if I’m not in a hurry and I will attend some sort of formal event (such as a wedding), I’ll make the effort of applying the American style makeup. But just to go out on a date on a regular weekend, I can’t be bothered and unconsciously apply the French style makeup. Thanks for showing the differences with such detail! ❤

For me it's the technique I appreciate in American make up. I don't wear much but learning to properly prep the skin, place make up in a way that accentuates my face and eye shape, and flawless look when you do want to go all glam. Technique is advanced and ahead of it's time here in the US even if you don't like the all glam look. I would never use eyeshadow without primer and using my fingers for foundation looks bad in person. The advanced techniques can still be used for minimalist make up.

Wow, I'm french and especially Parisian and you nailed it ! Sometimes they won't even use any foundation, just a bit of translucent powder from what I noticed. The goal is to enhance what we got, not to hide absolutely every imperfections we could have ahah.

I'm Italian and agree with the "French way" 100%, with one exception, i do use an oil free SPF because I know the damages sun causes to your skin.

This was so interesting! I live in the US but am older and part French! I prefer the minimalist look best. If I try more products it feels so heavy and when you wash your face you see an entirely different person in the mirror! I wore minimal makeup at my wedding and whenever I go out for anything. Just so much easier, lighter and more natural looking.

Love this! As a 50-something American (with European roots) I tend to go for the more natural FRENCH side in almost every point you made. As a teen in the 80's we played with heavy makeup for FUN - not for everyday out. Makeup was meant to enhance your natural beauty - not create a KABUKI mask. I never do a BOLD eye WITH a bold or red lip. Always one or the other. I prefer to use the minimal products necessary, never remember to do my eyebrows, never use blush, and ALWAYS use mascara! I was astounded by how MANY products you were using for the American side! And I totally agree - the American look is a reflection of mass-marketing and consumerism. Too much.

So impressed you're still able to create content and post consistently. When my son was born, I had to choose between brushing my teeth or combing my hair, lol. That was 3 years ago and now pregnant with twins. You inspire me to still take care myself while nurturing my little people.

The French way is how a lot of us wore our make up back when I was growing up and in my early 20s- believe it or not, in Southern CA. Definitely like the French way better 😊

Love the French side for sure. The one thing that really struck me - almost culture shock (I'm from North America) when I visited Paris in 2016 was that the women all had lovely hair and natural looking makeup. They also dressed nicely. No overdrawn clown lips, Amy Winehouse flick, no messy buns, or unkept look at all (no sweats or ripped pants). The women all looked very fashionable and not like they were street walkers. I found the same thing all over Europe, in the Netherlands, Germany, Italy, etc. The women looked gorgeous and fashionable. My sweats are limited to my home and my ripped pants to my gardening. Many North American women don't realize how to emphasize their beauty rather than covering it up in a caricature.

French women will put their money into face cream, quality shampoo & will eat their veggies. They want to have a "good skin", not hide it under foundation. That's the overall idea. Cloches : first, look for the cut that looks good on you, then decide between available colors or types of fabric.

As an American, I don’t wear a lot of makeup and have always felt a little insecure about it. When I went on my honeymoon in France, I was so inspired and astounded by the natural beauty of all of the French women! Everything looked so easy, classy, and effortless and when I got home I felt like I really gained a new insight on beauty.

I really like that French women embrace their natural faces and use makeup to enhance beauty versus create beauty like how Americans do. Great video. I love both style but personally I relate more to French style of makeup.

I'm from Belgium and it is so funny because everything you said about the view on makeup by the French, also applies in Belgium I would say. I NEVER tought about it being a cultural thing, I just always tought I didn't have what it takes to apply makeup the US way - which is gorgeous as well, obviously - but in France/Belgium it would be more for like a wedding makeup or something like that.

I also thought I just didn’t know how to do makeup (from America). Now I do like my foundation, but I try to keep my makeup very light and simple. It’s refreshing to know the style of makeup I like is the preferred method in other parts of the world.

I am French and live in the USA. You are totally right about the two different makeup methods. Good for you.

As a French woman, I absolutely recognize myself in the Fench routine you describe. And on all the little details like the lip balm!!

I never realized French women did it so differently so this was super interesting to watch! I think you’re spot on with how American women on social media do their make up for sure. But I would say the average American doesn’t actually do that, we use a lot less of the products because we think most of it is just marketing to sell more products. Also one of my biggest fears is looking cakey so I tend to use more natural looking foundations and I don’t use concealer or eyeliner and I don’t contour but I do use bronzer and blush. I would say I am between the two styles you did when I’m doing my average daily make up ☺️

I live in Toronto, Canada, am over 50, and have always preferred a more minimalistic approach: light-coverage foundation, lipstick and a little bit of brow pencil. For special occasions I use slightly more coverage foundation and add eye shadows. The "American" look is more embraced here by the under 35 crowd. But there's a big difference between young women living near the city centre and women in the suburbs. Young Toronto women in the suburbs wear a lot more make up.

Here in Brazil, most women tend to "copy" what Americans do. Myself, I would go for the "less is more" French attitude. Love the tip of "saving for that Channel bag"!

I prefer the classic French style for daily activities or a day at the office. Feminine and will never go out of style. I've worked as a beautytherapist and my teachers thought me this style. The American style is more Va-Va-Voom for a night out. ❤️ them both.

I love the classy taste of French people. The makeup is stunning and I think both of your representations are amazing!! I definitely prefer the French look because it’s a big statement in less application.

In CA, I see people wear the Kardashian look when they are taking selfies or might be posted on the internet. There's a false internet look. Walking around, it's a messy and natural look or a casual and natural look that I see the most.

i feel like the French side is kinda like the lazy side. Not that I'm calling the French lazy. Or maybe it could be compared to the 90s? Just way less product overall, makeup as enhancement not total transformation. i feel like digital culture has produced really alienating online trends where literally everything looks so artificial. I've never been amazing with applying makeup but i just find those scenarios where someone looks totally unlike themselves uncanny, like even if it's an improvement, it feels like it would be too hard to take your makeup off without people doing a massive double take. i just like it if makeup is fun and a bit of a pick me up and a compliment to one's own style. For me in the thumbnail what's weirding me out is that the eyes look like they're totally different sizes. I think both sides look good, the American side looks more glam, with a bigger and more laboriously detailed eye and deeper cheek contour. But the French side perhaps looks closer to the natural face? And there's something to be said for that. These days I wouldn't glam up like the right unless i was going to an event. i think for me the fun of makeup gets taken out of it if it takes too long to put on and maintain, and i live in a hot climate where things melt easily. But i guess if you were really good at slapping on the glam, maybe you'd think less of using it for the everyday. For me the side on the right is just not an everyday daytime look. Not because it looks bad, it's just too much, daytime is more casual and the light is more intense, whereas lower light environments favour bolder looks to stand out.

Love the French look. I am minimalist on makeup and enjoyed seeing how to use that concept with the French method.

As an American I would say this video is very accurate! I laughed when you applied the bronzer at the end- because you can't forget that! Of all things! ;) This is actually very comforting to me, because growing up my mother's generation didn't use a lot of makeup. I taught myself through KZread videos, and since I was on the dance team I learned further how to do my hair, eye shadow, eyeliner, fake eyelashes, lipstick, and had a lot of practice! The American makeup style is just that- it's very heavy, like costume and performance makeup. I have sensitive skin and have always preferred to use less, but was under the impression I was doing it wrong if I didn't apply the full face. I love the French concept that you have a statement lip OR eye, but not both. Here in America, if you put on eyeshadow it is an automatic requirement you add eyeliner, as well as a lip color. And bronzer! Always bronzer! I think it can be said the French culture is much healthier than American in terms of insecurities and body image (maybe?), since you mentioned they enjoy seeing their own faces in the mirror! Thank you for bringing to my attention there is not a "wrong way." Lovely video, thank you!

The high fashion make-up look (ie. the french makeup style), embraces minimalist beauty. The Instagram make-up look is very popular and trendy, and thankfully, it depends on what you're use to (ie. what has influenced you during your teen years, and early adulthood) in terms of enhancing one's beauty, thus women have options. I must agree that the Photo ready/Photo Shoot makeup is perfect for the camera. Thank You for showing the contrast in make-up looks.

As a makeup loving American Latina, I think it’ comes down to age in the US. The younger ladies in their 20s are definitely more into your version of American makeup. And it’s mostly to go out and not everyday. I’m in my 30s and what I see from my peers (30s & 40s) is more of a merge between both of your looks. Mostly the French side since we are on the go with kids and life. And my mothers generation is definitely the French side, with the exception that they don’t use bronzer but do use blush. But overall in the US, for the most part if you remove social media what you’ll see is more of the no make up makeup look. I am Latina so I do go all out for an event.

I’m happy to see the current trend in the U.S. leaning a little into “less is more.” I’m 42, FWIW, and while I use more products than my French counterparts, I use a much lighter application than the stereotypical “American” style.

I love the French way, it saves Time and Money. I was also teached by my mom (as eastern european) to not overline my lips and to decide if I want to go heavier on the eyes OR the lips- never both. I'm also addicted to red velvet lipstick :) But I have to admit that a good foundation helps me with my acne redness and with a hint of blush I'm not getting asked that many times if I feel okay because I look so pale.

Actually, full-face makeup started in the 1980s.

I almost forgot, the 1960s were VERY heavy on makeup. Looked like it was spread on the skin with a trowel . . . lol.

And let's not forgot the horrid makeup 18th century French aristocracy wore. The white stuff covering their faces was made from lead. Yes, lead which gave them lead poisoning.

I find the French style much more attractive. Many layers of makeup feels claustrophobic to me. Thank you for this lovely video.
