The French minimalist look that accentuates beauty rather than trying to achieve perfection is much more appealing to me.
That's it. To accentuate your own natural beauty rather than to create some illusion is far more interesting (and healthy imo).
Yes! I just discovered through this video that I apply makeup in French style lol.
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.
@HEЯOINE I'm American and I can't do American make up either 😁 (Not that I would. Looks like war paint)
@@JamieM470 Same!
And she looks 8 years younger .
As far as I can tell (as an American): The French understand beauty; Americans understand being marketed to. I'll take French beauty any day.
Amen, sister!
Same!!
I live in America. I agree with you. I can't stand this "modern American technique". The French women know what a sexy woman is...classic, effortless, less is more, enhance one's own real beauty, and not plaster on layers of makeup until you have an unrecognizable mask on. 😑 Vintage American beauty was the way the French still do their makeup.
Modern American makeup trends are influenced by drag queens and the kardashian plastic surgery look. It’s about making everyone look like the same dead-eyed consumerist blow up doll. I’ll take timeless, understated French style any day too.
exactly.... she said not one side is better......deeer disagree French is best Americans are clowns in more ways than makeup. Saying this as an Austraian.. Americans as ally have a long hard look in the mirror
To me, the "French" way is mostly how makeup used to be applied before the time of the Instagram look. It will always be in style because it's more natural and classic
or Fox News look ;)
@@MoneyStrategiesSOULutions Haven't heard of that "look"
The french is certainly more natural and my favourite.
@@MoneyStrategiesSOULutions brainwashed. Sad.
I'd say before RUclips too
I like how respectful and unbiased she is towards these two styles of makeup.
As a young French woman raised by a parisian fashionista, i can tell you that my mother always told me to use makeup to enhance my beauty not to hide it. 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. Use makeup juste to show the beauty of your natural features not to change your face, you are already gorgeous, use makeup to let the world see your beautiful face and to gain confidence not to look like a different person.
I'm an American raised in Germany for half of my life. But for me now over 50, I love the French make-up side better. The American side looks so FAKE. Beauty is and should be a natural look. You don't need all that shadows and bronzer in my opinion.
Not knowing it, I have always used the French way of makeup. My beloved grandmother was born in Nancy, France and perhaps her ethos rubbed off on me!
I am American...and my way is close to France...except I would never wear a red lip...I wear only gloss...
Most Americans do NOT wear that much make-up...it is only the extreme and very instagram/FB crowd...
What a beautiful lesson your mother taught you! And you are absolutely correct we all have our own beauty so I say just own it! 💕🌸💕
Makeup. Less is More.
American makeup artists and most women use SPF. Some foundations have SPF in them.
As an American, the "French" look is much classier and usually what you were told growing up..."makeup should be used to enhance your natural beauty, not cover it up" and "either a strong eye or strong lip, but not both." You hit the nail on the head, the "American" look is the Kardashian look and just a trend. Thank you for your expertise, always enjoyable.
Americans should have more national pride on such matters. The lady was not fair, you shouldn’t clap her. -I speak both French and English and I’m not American or French and I don’t live in US or France.
US might be the only country where French women are known for beauty or beauty skills. I don’t know how come ALL French women use a high end brand like Guerlain all the time? The lady literally was not fair. American hair & American makup is M U C H better than French makeup & hair. Can’t tell the same for fashion sense & fragrances though. But for beauty? Deffo American.
PS. I often think that French women invest in fashion & fragrances so much because they’re not much blessed with natural beauty and good makeuo skills. I was very into France during the years of learnibg French, nonse of this lady’s claims are accurate. She only speaks for top class French women. But she unfairly compares top class French to Kardashians who represent more of a ghetto, lower-mid class Americans or just teenager girls. I always found Manhattan women very classy, independent looking, chic.
Comparison was so so so unfair.
Perfect objective and fair! Such class!
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.
@@theprousteffect9717 Guess you missed my point. You should read again to see my emphasis.
French people often sell the image of perfect, fashionable, elite, luxurious, expensive image of France and French but reality is drastically different. Paris is a filthy and unsafe city and Parisians.. Well, you should see them yourself. The rest of France is much better than Paris.
The lady (She’s a proud Parisian from Romania) literally said “All French women use this” for Guerlain bronzer 🤣 And portrayed Kardashian makeup (Which I don’t like. I think Kardashian fashion is subculture) to represent American, top tier French makeup as French. Suspicious. Especially when elite & rich of France often prefer US to live instead of France.
@@k.bayraktar4488 I guess you missed the fact that I was replying to the original comment, not yours...
I have always done my makeup the French way. Since watching RUclips during the Pandemic I have started doing my makeup in this American style because I thought my way was outdated. Now I see it’s not outdated at all - it’s classic. Thank you for this ❤️ I am going to stop feeling inadequate or old because I prefer the more natural way.
Same here
the same for me
Sending Love ❤️....Ally...Are you single? 🥰❤️
I'm from the US, and I personally strongly dislike our way of applying makeup nowadays. I used to apply makeup that way when I was in high school, but it is atrocious. It is basically a mask to cover up your real face and change your features, and it takes forever. I've obviously stopped and started applying makeup the French way, and yes, its simple, but absolutely beautiful... timeless even.
It does change someone's look significantly. And it is like a mask. It completely changed how women look. Sometimes it changes so much that you can make someone look like someone else
I think more younger women would know that less make-up is much better on them especially when they go for a interview for a professional job. My opinion as always Julie ❤️💚💙😻
@@JuliesMakeupadvice60 Couldn't agree more Julie!
You mean the girls in their 20's that model their make-up after drag queens?
I agree. I used to go to school with a gal who put on makeup so thick, you could scrape it off with a finger nail. My husband thinks heavy makeup is "false advertising." 😂🤣😂 He prefers the more natural look - makeup yes, but not so heavy.
I’m an American and I always felt that my makeup taste was wrong because I never liked over-lining my lips, applying large amounts of blush, contouring in general. I started to do my makeup as the French style because it makes me feel more beautiful and natural.
there is nothing wrong with your taste
French is my style!! Less is ALWAYS MORE!!!
So I am not alone then? Lol
The over-the-top makeup look is pretty recent in America and mostly on RUclips and Instagram.
As an older woman (over 50), I like the French side. It's faster and more natural and more realistic. Classic beauty.
I've been doing French style for years without realizing it. People sometimes wonder if I wear makeup and I do, but applied with a light hand. Too much work to radically change your face every day. And light makeup looks better on older women (which is a group I'm proud to be a part of) too.
I do the same. I rarely use any foundation, maybe powder. Occasionally use eyeshadow to create brows & plain lipstick. More French & did not even aware of it.
Sending Love ❤️...Julie..Are you single?😘🥰
When I completed aesthetics training in the 2000s they hammered home that contour is for photo shoots ONLY. 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. But I vastly prefer what you called the French look. It feels more honest and looks much more natural in person. Plus it takes so much less time to apply - I've got stuff to do!
I thought it was just me. All that foundation and make-up that young women pile on in videos is actually not good for your skin in the long run. They really don't need it.
I prefer the more natural French look.
Makes sense. I saw a girl in a parking lot and in the sunlight this makeup looks caked on and garish. A photo shoot with lighting is way different.
Rad. At least 75% of those people take multiple photos and probably videos of themselves every day
Does it take more or less time to do photo makeup, take the photos and then wash the makeup off and put on "natural" makeup so plebs at Target will approve
I am French and agree with all your comments in the video 😄
I do use a beauty blender though. But I am 37, so probably between “old school style” and “instagram generation”.
I know how to do an “American style make up” though and will use it only for a party or a special event.
Of couuuuurse Terracotta by Guerlain is a basic 😂 1st piece of make up my mum offered me ❤
A dampened beauty blender applies flawless 😊
The French look is just so classic and enhancing. It doesn't act like a mask, you still see the face. I am waiting waiting waiting for the masked, cakey, overdone look to die. And I thought I wore too much makeup in the '80s! :)
Exactly! The boy brows drive me crazy!
Maybe...maybe... We should all be able to wear what we want and mind our own business
@@no_peace Yay for missing the point!
I’ll tell you this, most people LOVE the American version, except the French who despise it and the Americans who feel that everything that’s not American is better
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.
True, I agree.
Plus I would add that the "French" application you showed is also what most (or average) women wear in Western Europe as a whole.
Same here. The French way is more classy in my eyes and is what I wear as well, being German.
@@anjaoguegbu574 Me too. I live in Finland.
I live in the u.s and I dress and do beauty and make up like the French. I didn't know that's what they did it's just how I am so it's fun to see a whole people group share my beauty values.
I was in Paris last Dicember and I have to say that french women are never "sloppy"...they keep it simple but with class
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 have lived in Paris and America and this is completely, so so true. 100 %. Just all the observations- the makeup is phenomenal for both sides, definitely, but what I appreciate is the mindset- you do an excellent job of speaking the truth of how "parisians" and how "americans" see/ think about makeup. Not everyone, obviously, but the general idea.
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 know you don't like when we take things personally, but you literally did my makeup routine (apart from foundation ahah). The bronzer and concealer comments you made are so true. We can't leave without bronzer. Lots of love !
hahahhahahahhahahhahahahahahahaahhaah YOU ARE JOKING - RIGHT!
SAME! This is my daily makeup but without the wing liner...I just line the upper waterline with black/brown. No lip pencil...just a tinted gloss/balm. I love the Chanel Soleil Creme Bronzer in the pot. I buy the dark and light shades & cut them up into one pot. I live for that stuff!
@@t.ruhlman4240 Damn do we really all got a Channel bronzer or translucent powder ahah, that's dope
Elle a fait un look très européen en effet 😄❤
Loved the cultured comparison story. As an American, I simply lose my concept of time when I apply makeup for the day! My special, calm, and temporary escape from our crazy changing world.
💯 I feel the exact same way
Me too. I actually prefer the look of the French side but I love playing with makeup so much I end up doing the American side more.
This is beautiful
I’m British, with a French mother…..and yes, a Guerlain bronzer is a must! I love that bronzed, no blush look! Both sides look amazing though and I love doing my makeup in both ways….for different events. However, for me, the French attitude to how you look and age is so much healthier than the US one. I prefer the natural ageing look….who wants to look 20 when you’re 70? Not me!
True! But I don’t think 70 year old American women are doing there makeup this way
Love the French style of makeup. Makeup enhances ones beauty. Do you ever do video makeup for women over 50? I'd love to see that.
I'm an American woman and I definitely prefer the French way of wearing make up. I can barely be bothered to put even that much on most days. There is no way I'm applying 7-8 products to my face everyday. So for me the French style wins!
Love them both for different occasions, but being 61, I go with the French look more often because it draws less attention to my "texture" as you mentioned. I'd be sooooo excited if I could do the other. Andreea, you look so sophisicated and elegant in both!
I love the French side! Love the idea of just enhancing one's natural beauty.
THERE IS NO FRENCH SIDE - THEY HAVE NO CONCEPT ABOUT MAKEUP!
I love the French side, too.
Most European women all do it like this.
Only followers of makeup youtubers spend so much money on makeup.
I'm in Texas and I fix myself like the French side. The only time I'll do the American is on a special occasion like a wedding.
@@doroparker1702 No they don't lol
@@iberlo85 Watch the teenagers.
Jeffrey Starr and Nikki Tutorials make more than a million with their products.

Thank you for this video! I would say (as a French girl) that the French style is the heir of Gabrielle Chanel view of fashion. Her quotes are so important. She was teaching the industry about elegance, women empowerment, better aging, and real beauty.
What you said is quite true! Magnify the nature gave you, #1 rule Eyes or Lips etc. Thank you!
(I'll put sunscreen and be careful with my liner 😉)
Coco Chanel said "Simplicity is the keynote of all true elegance." and "Fashion changes, but style endures."
If you ever find you to old to be pretty remember what she said : "You can be gorgeous at thirty, charming at forty, and irresistible for the rest of your life." 😘
The “French” style is exactly how my grandmother in America taught me to apply makeup. The “American” look you did is beautiful and is almost exactly how my daughters apply their makeup. A modern thing. I like the French look better. More natural. Not as shocking when it’s removed.
YES! As a makeup artist for many years I loved teaching young girls that message from the beginning that makeup is fun and yet on an everyday basis we want to look like ourselves only a bit brighter....We don't want to look like a totally different person without our basic makeup. There's a place for the fantasy, but it's not everyday.
@@t.ruhlman4240 we clearly have different ideas of fun!
@@t.ruhlman4240 you know, that’s very tasteful advice. But leave room for the young girls to think differently than you and knowing they’ll be accepted no matter what. They will do more experimental makeup and things for that matter, let them be themselves and grow into maturity instead of hiding from you for fear you’ll disapprove. Approve the person no matter how they choose to look.
Me too - this honestly could have been Gen X vs Millennials
"not as shocking," lol omg that's SO TRUE
Thank you for this tutorial. I am American, and I feel disconnected from the makeup styles that I've seen for over a decade or more (basically since the Kardashians started to heavily influence makeup over here). When I watch makeup tutorials, all I think is how I know I won't do any of the techniques or buy any of the products mentioned. I didn't realize that I was naturally doing something closer to a French style of makeup -- including using my fingers instead of brushes. I will look for French inspired makeup tutorials.
Yeah, exactly. I look around in the US a lot. In the 28 states I've visited and the 2 of my citizenship FL and CA. Most women just don't wear make up, or they wear such a light make up that you can't tell they are wearing anything at all. 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'm American and I like the French style better. However sunscreen is VERY important. The American side to me would only be for a magazine cover
I love this video! I would love to learn more about the way French women do make up and end up looking effortlessly amazing. Please do more of french make up videos
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’m an American who’s always been intimidated by the amount of products used for the instagram look. My daily routine is similar to the French routine. Though I tend to use spf and no bronzer.
Me tooo!!!!! LOL
yay for SPF for sure!
As an Swedish woman I would wear the french side. We dont use as much lipsticks as a french woman but we Love the more natural makeup style❤️ Love your video
I definitely love the the French side, it simple, natural and classy, and sometimes less is more. The American side is nice also but not something for everyday for maybe when going out or a special occasion. You look beautiful on both side. Thanks for the video.
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.
I absolutely loved this! As a 25 y/o American, I think you hit the spot in every way. The only thing you forgot is makeup setting spray!! Loved learning about how the French apply makeup ☺️
yes! the setting spray. I thought that too.
*What is the Gospel?*
The true gospel is the good news that God saves sinners. Man is by nature sinful and separated from God with no hope of remedying that situation. But God, by His power, provided the means of man’s redemption in the death, burial, and resurrection of the Savior, Jesus Christ.
Ephesians 2:8-9
For it is by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of GOD, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.
Romans 10:9
9 because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
JESUS CHRIST can come anytime!
REPENT OF YOUR SINS Just Believe ❤️ Love you and GOD BLESS
@@tama3442 go away
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.
The side by side comparison was fascinating. Also hearing you explain the cultural differences between French women and American women was enlightening. Before the pandemic I hardly ever paid attention to my eye makeup but now its become my main focus. I was wondering if you could wear concealer without foundation? Thank you and looking forward to your next video.
Absolutely. I’ve been wearing concealer forever and I don’t own foundation but I always wear blush.
@@rhonda6791 Thanks!
I often wear concealer without foundation! The key is blending well.
@@cnsun17
Good luck ☺️
You can, concealer and foundation pretty much do the same thing which is to cover imperfections/make skin tone even. You can even get concealer or foundation in a variety of formulas depending on what you like (sheer/medium/full coverage). The only difference is packaging and the areas you apply it. You can use concealer as foundation, and vice versa, use foundation as concealer.
Both are absolutely beautiful. French look is my everyday look, but the American would be a night out for me.
47 year old Dutch women with an Italian father. The French way is just exactly how I do my makeup. Was really funny and nice to see.
Thank you very much for assertively speaking up for yourself with viewers who overly personalized and shoot back at content providers! That was beautifully said, clear, human, articulate and excellent, your opening intro here!
I get tired of content providers getting enrolled in and spending too much of their time trying to speak back to crappy responses they get from ignorant self-absorbed people. You went straight into it, got it taken care of and out of the way... and went comfortably into your content - which is wonderful. Brava!
I like how the American side almost looks like you’ve had cosmetic intervention, especially on the cheek. It looks more filled out. Very interesting in comparison. The power of makeup!
Look closely: The right cheek looks already more accentuated before she has put on any makeup.
Ali is amazing. The skill she has with contouring and shimmer can completely transform natural features.
OMG, I’m French and I live in LA. You totally nail it!! I like the US makeup but I wouldn’t wear it. Too much for me. I wouldn’t dare to move 😂.
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 am French and I have to smile more than once because Andreea analyzed really good the French look. To 95% I agree with what she said. The American style seems to me too much, overloaded and I think that it looks good on fotos but how does it look from near... though I must say that the cheek seems much more sculptured and less flat...maybe a combination of both would be great :-)
I am American, but European in my tastes (but more Spanish). For me, it's the best of both worlds. Well done, but not overdone. 🤷🏻♀️
Exactly
I don't know very many women that would wear that much makeup on an everybday basis. American make up. What she said is true about american but its usually just for their Instagram acct. I wear very light coverup a BB cream. I also feel women are trying to go more natural here in the US. I hope so.
As an American, I feel you are spot on... Even when I tell myself that I am just going to do a simple 5 minute look (similar to your French side), it takes me 20 minutes and it comes out like your American side. That's how I do my daily makeup. 😂 For an event, I would wear more/bolder eyeshadow and lipstick. hahahaha
Are we the same person 😂
Was odd to see her transform into looking like every Real Housewife and realize we are starting to all look the same. yikes. loved both. You're so talented! ❤️
I’m Irish and my makeup also turns out like the American side!!! Then again most of my products are Kardashian labelled 🤣😂🤣😂🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 I spend my entire holidays in the USA in Sephora and Ulta’s 😆
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.
*What is the Gospel?*
The true gospel is the good news that God saves sinners. Man is by nature sinful and separated from God with no hope of remedying that situation. But God, by His power, provided the means of man’s redemption in the death, burial, and resurrection of the Savior, Jesus Christ.
Ephesians 2:8-9
For it is by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of GOD, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.
Romans 10:9
9 because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
JESUS CHRIST can come anytime!
REPENT OF YOUR SINS Just Believe ❤️ Love you and GOD BLESS
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! 💄💋
I would need my mascara only and reusable makeup remover ❤️💚💙
@@JuliesMakeupadvice60 Use tubing mascara…no more raccoon eyes ever and no need for eye makeup remover ever! They just need warm water and a bit of pressure on your lashes and the little tubes slide right off your lashes with no remover, cotton pads or tugging on the skin of your eyes. When I switched to it years ago I have never gone back. I use Blinc, but there are now numerous companies that are making it.
Also, my skin isn’t quite good enough to go with a corrector and concealer, but I’m getting there!
They’re all gone now, but I remember when my grandmothers and my Mom only used powder, lipstick, and a dab of that lipstick on their cheeks for blush. And if short on time, always lipstick! 💄
What is the best tubing mascara because when I laugh I have mascara always transferring because 1. Hooded eyes so maybe no laughing my eyes shut right up when laughing. Any suggestions please? Julie
@@JuliesMakeupadvice60 Thrive Causemetics it's amazing and Lancome made a good one as well i like Thrive a lot
@@JuliesMakeupadvice60 Hi Julie! I’m sorry…I didn’t get a notification that you had left a comment. I have hooded eyes as well, and my favorite mascara is Blinc. It’s a tubing mascara that comes in three different styles depending on whether you want a more natural look, more dramatic or their latest that looks like extensions. They also have great brow products too.
I’m here all day for the French look. I grew up in New Orleans. Wearing too much on my face in a hot humid climate was a NO for me! It felt too uncomfortable.
I’ve always gravitated to just a BB cream, mascara and a matte lip
Also, Your skin is beautiful 😍
In a hot/humid climate, makeup is almost pointless some days. Even the best will melt and sweat right off.
So true. I live in a hotter climate now and I'm glad I don't wear so much. But also I have better skin for some reason maybe because I don't eat so much sugary stuff like when I was a teenager. Maybe lots of hormones and sugar aren't a good combo. I live in a drier area but still it's not a great idea when there's too much foundation on the skin. Some people swear that baking method will set your make up but idk. I'd rather not have all that cake stuff when it's hot and I'm sweating my make up and getting all that all over my clothes 🤣 Also I don't feel bad that I'm sweaty because everyone is sweaty too during the summer months 😆
new orleans here too...i usually dont wear makeup, its so gross when it slips around your skin
If you have nice skin because of healthy eating or if you're lucky from genes than don't wear so much foundation. But I've seen so many women that want to cover up their cute freckles and even ones with nice skin. It's a trend here in CA, but it can also be an art and a form.of expression too for some. I'm all for that too! So I'm good with natural if you can flaunt it and also for expression to make you 😊
@@cc1k435 Same here. For the last 30 years I’ve worn MAC Face & Body, a little blush, mascara, maybe an eyeliner on the upper lid and a sheer hydrating lipstick. No bronzer, highlighter, eye shadow, contour, etc. Only now that I’m older do I need a concealer for dark circles. Since the pandemic I’ve been experimenting with all of those goodies just because it’s fun and will wear a full face for going out at night only. But yeah, it’s way too hot and humid here for all that everyday. My skin would hate me.
I think you have the American consumer nailed. (I'm Asian-American) I want to work more towards the French philosophy--embrace who I am.! First-time watcher and I enjoyed this video. Nice job being transparent!
Totally agreed. I'm Asian-American, too. When I first started working in the corporate world and got promoted in accounting department, my supervisor (a guy) actually pulled me aside and suggested that I "wear more makeup" to gain more respect because I looked like a kid without it. Oddly enough, he was right! People treated me like an adult when I dressed up and wore full makeup.
As an American, I do the "French" side minus concealer most days - but I absolutely will bust out the "American" style for a major event like a wedding, but that's about it.
I think that's pretty common for most American women. We're generally expected by society to wear a minimal amount of makeup (generally eye makeup) on the daily, but to be more fancy for events.
@@jospinner1183 totally agree!
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.
How funny - I've been trying (as a Brit) to force myself to do this American style, but what I'm much more comfortable with is essentially your French style!
I'm American and I prefer the French as well. I detest concealer all over my skin and call it "Bondo" a brand name for automotive body filler.
And most Americans also either put makeup emphasis on ONE facial feature, eyes or lips. Unless they are going for the drag queen Instagram California look. Midwestern ladies are more restrained. Most days all I wear to important occasions is mascara, bit of eyeliner, and either lipstick or a mask. I'm 60.
Most actual Americans dont do the American style, only celebrities and influencers.
The American look is *so* much makeup!
@@MarcieFrazee I've never seen anyone except drag queens wear that much. Anywhere.
@@MarcieFrazee Yeah, people dont have time for that.
I am American, but I spent some time studying in Spain a few years ago, and the same makeup preferences you mention in French women, I noticed in Spanish women as well. I find these differences across countries super fascinating. ❤️
Yes! Spanish here and I was thinking the same, most women go for the natural looking make up, they don't even need bronzer as they are naturally tan from the sun so there's even less need to put foundation.. and I don't see them wearing bold eyeshadow either, I do wear a lot of eyeshadow though because it's my favourite part of make up 😋 interesting video!
It’s strange, the older I get, the more French I become! 😂 I am definitely in the French category of makeup with maybe a blush creme blush thrown in when it is winter and I am very pale.
Same here 🙂
Same here, I am not French nor American but from one of the Nordic countries :) Love to do a bit of tight lining on the base of the lash line more often than the eyeliner as it is so super easy.
All of these comments are grand! And Thank you for producing this video. 60 yr old American here and much prefer the less is more approach. ALSO! The outtakes at the end were FUNNY!🥰
Very interesting comparison! Few years ago, before I was 30, I used apply the US style when going out, but after 30, I've felt like less make up (at least eyes make up) makes me look younger. So now I totally prefer the French make up. It's waaay lighter, natural and even jovial. Love it. Thank you for this video! :) Salutari din Romania :)
Yess this totally!!
10 years in Brussels and Mannheim have left me with a more French approach for formal occasions, but 14 years in Boston means that my daily make-up is moisturizer and tinted lip balm!
I LOVE the French makeup look! I'm American but my makeup routine looks much more like the French side. I don't want to look like a celebrity, I want to look like me, so I really love the French makeup philosophy!
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.
Well that was an eye opener. The French side looks so much better and is making me question my whole make up routine! The American side was really ageing as well.
I was thinking that same thing. French side definitely looks younger.
I think, the "French" look was how most U.S. women did their makeup before 1985..
The difference in cheekbones is incredible. I'm lacking in that area so I do prefer the contouring yet both sides are beautiful. BTW, you look stunning without any makeup. Glad I just found your channel.
Love the natural french makeup option with the more natural brow brushed up.
I love the casual style of the French. It’s less intimidating- thank you for showing us this different approach.
Looks like I've been doing American make up for the last 7 years and I love it. I like shiny and glowy skin and looking like a superstar.
Love this video so much!! It was very accurate from what I’ve seen. Love both looks for different occasions
Is this "the" Marlena Stell? Happy to see you here!
Thank you Andreea. I love the French make up. I think it’s because I’m 56 and I love a natural, flawless look that lets the skin breathe. Natural and beautiful, just like French women! ❤️

@@tama3442 stop proselytizing
I like both! But like you said, everyday French and glamour for going out, American. Thank you so much!
This is so interesting!! I’ve had a hard time embracing the American makeup style (I’m a New Yorker), and I have been doing the “French style” for years. I love a good red lip (Bésame), or a balm, and I basically do it exactly like you’ve described. I have eye shadows, blushes, even a bronzer, but it’s not what I gravitate towards for most occasions-also because I have a hooded lid, so finding tutorials is hard. Anyway this was great!
I feel like a lot of New Yorkers do more of the French style while the rest of the US definitely does more the American style..
I was taught in school that the French style is a daytime make-up, and the American style is a night makeup.. In America, we moved to the full face in the early 2000. I love them both 😍 yes we have so many brushes
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’m American and I love the French style of make-up; especially b/c I’m black/ African descent. French style compliments my features in a very soft and lovely manner. ♥️
I really enjoyed this video. Being a Spaniard but having lived in France and now in the US I appreciated the wonderful presentation of the make up cultures. I am sometimes in between, loving the simplicity and total chic vibe of the french and falling for the perfect cover up look on the American side. Thank you! I am now a follower. Merci!❣️
This was a wonderful video and I really enjoyed it. I am American, and on a daily basis do a full makeup look...the French way seems so much more natural and effortless. I will be spending 3 months in Italy this year and will be very interested to see how Italian women feel beautiful and what products they favor!
@Paula Whaley you're going to have a wonderful time in Italy. It's quite freeing to not have to spend all that time every single day putting on all that make-up. A person doesn't need a full face of make-up to feel beautiful and confident. Simply being confident feels and is beautiful. I live in America but travel the world and embrace each & every culture. You're going to love the 3 months you're in Italy and your skin is going to love you. 🤗
Hi! I'm Italian. I'd say Italian make up is much more similar to the French style - however, if you go to bigger cities like Milan it's not uncommon to find people with more make up on, even though I don't think most people would go to the lenght of American make up, maybe just a blend of the two styles, or a very simple make up with the exception of a fancy eyeliner or lipstick. But yeah, most people just follow the French style (I'd rather call it "European style", with the exceptions of the UK I haven't seen a place in Europe where so much make up is popular. And the UK is not in the European Union anymore, soooo I guess it doesn't count).
I'm a French man living in America and found this very interesting to watch.
I like the insistance on "there is no right or wrong" because these things depend so much on culture and personal tastes.
It's funny to consider this from a historical point of view: makeup in Europe started in the 16th century, and was used by both men and women of the aristocracy. By the 18th century, makeup was particularly heavy (though, if you ever look closely at the painted portraits of the time, faces don't look like heavily painted at all, so someone may have to help me on that contradiction: according to makeup history, they would literally plaster their faces with tons of white ("l'emplâtre") and then lots of rouge, but when you look at the portraits, what you see is always very natural, elegant and tasty-looking according to our 21st century standards. Somebody? any idea on that divergence between what you can read about makeup history and what you can see on painted portraits?).
Anyway, during the 19th century, makeup became more and more discreet, and stopped being used by men. So much so that a reversal in perception happened: after being the privilege of aristocracy, heavy makeup became a sign of bad taste and of vulgarity.
During the 20th century, too much jewelry and too much makeup (if any at all) was associated with vulgarity and even prostitutes in Europe. Look at how the young royal and noble girls look in UK today: basically zero jewelry, zero makeup.
My French mother was raised in that spirit, and if she had been caught by her mother with makeup on as a teenage, she would have been slapped and severely punished. "Une femme peinte" (a painted woman) was code meaning a woman trying to sell her charms...
For example, having been raised in that culture and with these stereotypes, when I look at the female news anchors on American TV Chanels, my first reflex is to be shocked at how overdone their hair and make up are, which to me, again on a more or less unconscious level, says more "luxury prostitution" than "news anchor".
When I look at someone like Kim Kardashian, it's a completely different feel, because she's a fashion icon, or look icon, and her job is basically to use her body as a canvass for whatever creation she and her collaborators might come up with. In a way, she is like the Marie-Antoinette of today, and her status clearly places her outside of society (as in "above the rest", actually :-D) therefore she cannot be judged by normal standards. Same thing for movie stars, to some extent.
I think the 'star system" is much less powerful in France and French women don't try to look like movie stars (hell: movie stars themselves don't try to look like movie stars! :-D).
Above all, the strong concern about looking overdone, unnatural, or painted (as a show girl, as a prostitute would be, in the world of symbolic representations) is at the bottom of French women's very light approach to makeup.
Finally there is this notion that things should not look like the result of heavy work, but effortless, like they happened spontaneously. That aspect is a huge component in French understanding of elegance today. Look at a woman like Charlotte Gainsbourg (daughter of Jane Birkin and Serge Gainsbourg): she hardly ever has a trace of makeup on her face, yet if you run into her, the way she moves, the clothes she wears, will make you feel like she's the epitome of elegance.
Love your description with historical details thank you! And, having been raised in Europe I agree with the: It should look natural, effortless, otherwise it’s hooker attitude- Exception could be a glamorous evening event where a painted look would be appropriate. But never ever in daytime or normal evenings. Men don’t like the overly done up look here at all, they’re rather appalled by it if it’s too artificial.
@@FuxiaSue Thank you for your answer Anima Artis! I feel the same way as you do, but at the same time, this is a different experience: for years I worked in an office that was right next to the Bristol, a palace on Rue du Faubourg-Saint-Honoré. A place where movie stars and billionaires go. With that kind of money, you get to see the most expensive female escorts on ... Earth basically! And you can tell right away who they are, what they do! BUT: even though you can tell it took them many hours to do their hair, makeup and outfits, clearly with help from professionals, they look totally stunning, the same way a movie star would. Like a Western, modern version of geishas. Like women from another planet! (if that makes any sense at all). So... I would go with what you're saying, but always leave room for being surprised or even proven wrong sometimes!:-D
The Kardashians are the antithesis of elegance, and even they don't look like themselves. When we speak of them, we must also consider extensive plastic surgery, Facetune and photoshop. With them, it goes way beyond just makeup. These women manipulate their images, faces and bodies to the point of body modification.
The ladies of Le Bristol may have looked stunning, but you were still able to discern that they were hookers and that they tried too hard to fit in!;-D
@@mfm4582 Absolutely. And the Kardashians do it solely to sell themselves and their products, giving the example to millions of girls that a girl/woman should always look like she's ready to have sex right now, rather than look like being her complete, complex, intelligent, brave, generous, benevolent, hard working, beautiful in any size, colour, shape or form true self.
"Let's over-line the lips, because yeah?" 😅
I love the American side 💜💜
It looks snatched 😏 Also, I feel like the full coverage look was most popular a few years back. The “natural” & glowy look is what’s popular now. 😌
Your skin is so flawless both styles look great.
Loved the video! As a Canadian who has lived in Paris, I appreciate both sides. Personally my own makeup style is somewhere in the middle, very dependent on my mood, events, etc. 💜
To be fair, I think this vid is more accurately described as comparing the everyday French woman’s look to the American Instagramer’s look, as opposed to everyday American woman’s look. I love Andrea and this is overall a great vid!
Love this and had a good laugh, I liked both. I'm French, I live abroad, I had an American partner for 15 years who realised that I was getting influence by the US consumerism and had a lot to say about what I applied on myself as he worried about my health. I started wearing make up at 44, after seeing my reflection in the mirror one early morning and I decided I looked like what the Scots call death warmed up. I have been greatly influence by American 1930/40ies/50 culture. So i wear make up in a mix of cultural back ground. but I apply my make up when in the morning I have taken a good look at myself, tired or dry skin, rosy cheeks, dark circles are all taken into account, included that pump up feeling you get if when hydrated. Clothes and accessories for me as a French woman are more important and good to excellent footwear. A healthy skin, nails and hair, good posture. UK ladies don't wear any make up, usually but some parts of the UK are fab and will not step outside, even if they are popping out for some milk. London is in for style and Leeds, Glasgow in Scotland is the place for the made up look and in style. In Edinburgh only the younger generations 16 to late 20ies usually take the time.
I agree with your US application, it's pretty spot on. I would say that you were very generous with how balanced, chic, and delicate you designed the eye look. I feel like too often I see overdone eye makeup with a lack of focus. Basically too many colors that don't always compliment each other.
Just watch a video of Nikkie and you know what tons of colours and makeup really look like.
It takes at least one hour to apply her makeup.
@@doroparker1702 I think you might have missed my point. I was saying that Ali was being very kind for the American side (not inaccurate).
@@DramaticDylan well, Andreea is doing American style without American colours.
She is great and she got good taste.
There is the contrary example.
Nikkie from Netherlands or Jeffrey Starr see them using tons of makeup.
They sell millions and earn millions because lots of teenagers buy all of their makeup.
Kardashian is same. Sell cheap makeup for a high price and earn billions.
@@doroparker1702 It sounds like your distain is with the business practices of American influencers, and not with the aesthetic of American makeup. You can put loads of makeup and still do natural colors, but that isn't really typical American makeup (see Euphoria for example). American's are just hogs for makeup.
@@DramaticDylan What is Euphoria?
Some influencer or a makeup brand?
so interesting seeing perspectives from other cultures that aren't the US. so interesting to see what we are taught as opposed to how others are taught about what is beautiful and what should be covered, etc
I am form Prague and I use Frenchs style, I think it is European style :D I use mekaup when I am going to work or to restaurant etc. just to bring bright, unify skin color and make my eyes pop out. It is easy to clean up after and not big change, but it does not look fake.
I actually love the French side so so much. That’s closer to what I actually wear day to day. I like having fewer steps and a “cleaner” look. I also agree I think it looks healthier/fresher.
Honestly, now that I see a dermatologist for my cystic acne and have that under control, I find no reason to wear foundation! Maybe occasionally a little concealer here and there, but mostly fine without it. Huge time and money saver 🙂
I love the French Application and the French Look better. I’m not even French and I’m happy to know that I have been applying make up the French way ever since! I always felt insecure that I don’t have enough makeup on my face compared to my friends but Andrea, seeing this video makes me proud of myself because I finally don’t feel bad about my makeup skills and technique. Everytime I try to do the american way... I always feel exhausted from all the steps and product I have to apply on my face and I always feel like I have a fake mask on my face. Less is more and true beauty shows on the French way because it’s very minimal and less on hiding your true features and true self.
So do I! Greatings from Italy
Same here! Greetings from the United States.
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 RUclips 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!
Sending Love ❤️...Are you single? 🥰❤️
I'm a girl from southern Europe living in London and I love your videos! Personally, I would definitely wear the French side with a bit of a better eye-makeup..I really believe that we shouldn't look flawless and plastic, but genuine and natural. I'm glad that here in Europe people embrace their natural beauty, I find it so stressful for young girls to try to look perfect beacause of some instagram influencers. I believe the American makeup makes all women look the same. And this thing with plastic surgeries and nose jobs..my goodness. The world is already tired of this fake perfection!
You’re so right! It’s ridiculous that everyone wants to look the same and so boring. It’s only making the people who want to sell that crap wealthy. It certainly doesn’t make anyone healthier or happier, quite the opposite.
About the french, Yes, my grandma had the same lipstick brand and never did her eyes. Always had a powder though to remove excess oils. Skin care was always the main priority.
Women stressed lipstick over eyeshadow, in the 50s
I actually started adopting a more “French” makeup. Personally it allows me to embrace my face as is and I have loved the change. On special occasions I go full glam but now I mostly stick to a French inspired makeup look
As an American I like the French way of minimal foundation, but I love colors on the eye. Maybe it’s a bit kiddie but playing with pretty colors is so much fun and artistic to me.
As a french i put not really foundation like she explains but definitely i love putting some colors on my eyes, it's si funny to test different combination of colors etc ^^ I think you can go to the french look but play more with the eye shadow.
I loved the American look. I’m Australian and have always loved makeup. Still do, even at 62 .
As a European living in US I do the "French" make up on a daily basis. I have had foundation 3 times in my life, I cannot stand it on my skin. Do not use blush, I do feel clownish or older with the blush. I do like accent on the eyes or the mouth - It just feels better and more natural. And no - my skin is not perfect, but I go foundation and powderless. Only concealer is fine under my eyes.
I feel the same way about foundation! Cannot stand how it feels on my skin. I don't use blush..don't need it. Also, I can't stand mascara...never use it.
@@patwagner9308 You both save a lot of money that´s for sure😉
@@october65-h6e you're right! I understand why some women use a lot of products...but some look pretty good barefaced &, in my opinion, only need a couple makeup products to highlight their best features.
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. They both serve their purpose, and help women with their beautifying choices.
For years I used to do my make up in the "french" way... and now, after I've looked on RUclips for tips for hours and hours, I think that my make-up slipped on the "american" side. Love the subject of the video 😍
For the office and every day, some of us Americans also like a more muted and subtle look closer to the French style. We might put on a little more glamor for a big party. Love your videos!!
This video was so satisfying for me to watch! I completely embrace the French approach (except I always use sunscreen!), but I’ve always felt like using less makeup (aka or not seeking influencer level perfection) made me un-feminine. Thank you for making this video to respectfully juxtapose these perspectives.
You are so funny! Interestingly I used to wear my makeup more like the French side, that is until social media came along. I’m in the US. Now I have so much makeup I don’t know what to with it, so many choices. But I love all of it. What I have noticed though is I enjoy putting on makeup, it’s a creative outlet and it’s almost a meditative activity. This was a great video and has inspired me to go back to how I used to do makeup, once in awhile, not all the time. ☺️
Same!
I’m Indian and I realised I apply my makeup a lot more like the French from the no foundation/ highlighter to using powder to look less oily. Except I loveee my blush and nude lipstick, I don’t leave home without them. This was very fun to watch Andrea. You never fail to deliver! 🥰🤍💜🤍💜🤍
I'm American and wear very little make up, especially as I grow older. Even the eyeliner on the French eye is a bit much for me. I never ever wear anything that glitters. Your tutorials have been very helpful!
I live in the US and appreciate the French make-up tutorial. I don't use a lot of make-up and was considering changing my make-up routine (social pressure maybe). Now, I think I'll stick to the French tutorial... ❤️ Thank you.
Love the breezy French look. For me the flawless American look is too time consuming and takes too many products. I've always done more of a French makeup look but lately I have started wanting to play more with highlighters and contour so I appreciate your demonstration on how to use it. Fun video. Thanks.
Yes - American here - in the 80s we didn't apply as much product (but we had some bright stuff!). I might go all out for a special night out but keep it simple, who has that much time. I'm so glad the nude lip is coming back in (90s!). I'm more of the french side with a nude full lip. ;-)
Ok french women and italian women have a lot in common 😅 especially their passion for tan 😁
if you go to france or italy and ask what the breed of produce is, what kind of tomato or strawberry or so on, people generally know the answer. when you are in the uk or usa, they dont know the answer.
@@ongwehias7580 true! I think we have more in common than we think... I me "we europeans" 😁

it's better that any "foundation" that looks awful unless you are in front of a camera or on stage. And for us, French, Italians are "painted like stollen cars" ;-)
Oh the tan! I'm from Australia, so we get so much information about sun damage. When I went to Italy, they would say it was fine because the sun wasn't as strong. True, we're closer to the sun during our summer, but sun damage is sun damage! The skin becomes tanned because of sun damage - but they didn't want to listen or give up their tan!🤷🏻♀️
I really like the French side because looks like the type of makeup I usually wear on a everyday look. I’m European and for me less is more not only that I’m not great at applying makeup 😁
It’s therapeutic to watch your videos! Thank you❤
The French approach definitely works better on my maturing face. I picked up some good tips. Thank you 😊
