I've learned to embrace natural brows. Since moving to Paris, I simply use a clear Benefit gel to create a laminated look that stays in place.
The lack of full-coverage foundation in my new beauty routine has been liberating. It felt refreshing to let my skin breathe and not rely on heavy makeup.
Though some women will rock a red lip, it's much less common than I expected. The understated approach to makeup has transformed my take on beauty.
