This French Style Icon Reveals Her Favourite Drugstore Beauty Buys

The allure of French beauty doesn't seem like it's going to dwindle anytime soon. (At least not at Byrdie Australia HQ, where we're never not obsessing over everything from niche French beauty brands, to pharmacy staples.) "How can you make my hair more...French?" is a common ask from any one of our team, come trim or colour touch-up time. More than one editor keeps a Pinterest board solely dedicated to Parisian women and their uniquely insouciant take on red lipstick, tousled fringes and pared back style.

"Essential. I use it every morning and evening to take my makeup off. Even when I don’t have makeup on, it takes away any dirt, any pollution."

"I use the same brand as the makeup remover to moisturise my skin after showering. So I think this is essential for sensitive skin."

"I put this on my lips every night before bed. And in the mornings before my lipstick to moisturise them."

"I love this. Perhaps not all year round, or every day, but it’s great for the summer. I still use it, because when summer’s over, my hair gets very dry. It works against salt and chlorine, so it’s great for holidays."

"Also, for your hair, and I’ve been buying this for years, dry shampoo. I think Klorane’s the best brand. It’s a life saver, or an “evening saver” at any rate."
