We can’t wake up tomorrow morning and look like Brigitte Bardot,but with the right eyeliner, lipstick and hair products and a few beauty tips you can add a little French sex appeal to your look.
THE EYES: Grab your black eyeliner girls; you’ll be lost without it!
Starting at the inside corner of the eye, trace the eyeliner right along your upper lash line and when you are at the end of the eye, move the line upwards to create a classic cat eye. It helps me when I gently pull my lid out to create a straight lash line. For a thicker line, go back and add another line next to the first one. Then, line under the eye, connecting the outer corners with the liner on the top lid. Strangely enough, it is easier for me to use gel eyeliner with an angled brush as opposed to an eyeliner pen, but use whatever is easiest for you! I LOVE this brush because you can line your upper eye with the angled one and your lower line with the rounded one. Word from the wise: if you have smaller eyes, I suggest keeping the line thin, not thick; otherwise your eyes will appear small. Then go to town with your favorite black mascara.
THE HAIR: Bardot’s gorgeous, messy curls give new meaning to the phrase locks of love.
Use a hair volumizer to add some Bardot-worthy fullness and body to hair. Then with a curling iron (a large barrel is best) create sexy curls that scream coquette. You can use any curling iron you like, but the thicker the barrel the better the curls in my opinion because it will create bigger, fuller curls.
THE LIPS: Bardot’s lips garner as much envy as Angelina Jolie’s pout. Finish off your minx look with a pinkish nude lipstick.
