Garance Doré: My Beauty Essentials

Author: Garance Doré
Most mornings I’m still half awake when I start my routine and honestly that is part of the charm. I’m not trying to transform myself, I'm just waking up slowly with the help of the products that make me feel a little more human and a little more polished before the world gets LOUD. These are the things that have turned my getting ready time into a small pleasure instead of a chore and I keep coming back to them for a reason. I hope you enjoy!

Skincare

Doré La Crème: Of course I am a bit biased, but there is no better moisturizer to put on under your makeup or before bed. Leaves me matte, no grease!Doré Le Sérum: My favorite vitamin C serum that keeps my skin hydrated and bouncy. And it’s great for sensitive skin.Doré Le Cleanser: If you’re looking for a cleanser that doesn’t strip your skin of all the good stuff, well, look no further than this cleanser. I double cleanse with it when I’m wearing makeup. Doré Le Baume: This is my secret weapon during the winter, I use it everywhere my skin is dry.Iris & Romeo Weekend Skin SPF 50: Paris doesn’t get much sun, especially in winter, but this SPF brightens my face instantly and gives that healthy weekend glow even on a gloomy Parisian Tuesday.Three Ships Brighter Days Eye Masks: These eye masks feel like a tiny spa moment that erase last night’s choices.

Haircare

Corpus THE HAIR & SCALP SET: The water in Paris is HARD, and this duo makes my hair feel cared for from root to tip in a way I did not know was possible. Lolavie Sculpting Paste: My hair has a mind of its own, and this adds a perfect bit of texture that makes it look like I just rolled out of bed - but in a chic way.

Bodycare

Necessaire Hand Duo: I love this pair so much I made a whole Reel about it. Makes my hands look and feel like they are aging backwards. Ursa Major Golden Hour Body Butter: I’m French so, I know butter, and this is aptly named. Truly melts into my skin and gives me hydration all day. OSEA Undaria Algae Body Oil: This makes my skin silky smooth, perfect for the extra boost of hydration during the winter without being greasy.

Makeup

Ilia Multi-Stick in Tenderly: This blush and lip combo gives my cheeks a gentle hint of color that makes me look like I slept perfectly even when I definitely did not. Perfect pink for my lips, too!Tower28 ShineOn Lip Jelly in Coconut: The most delicious, glossy hit of hydration that tastes like vacation. RMS Beauty SunCoverup Super Tint Broad Spectrum SPF 50 Sunscreen: Smooths on like a second skin and makes me feel protected without looking overly polished, ideal for achieving the French girl look (someone who is trying but doesn’t look like she’s trying). Sweed Beauty Lash Lift Mascara: Opens my eyes in a soft, pretty way while staying wonderfully natural (see above re: French girl aesthetic).

Perfume

Amouage Purpose 50: I fell in love with this scent on a man, but it’s such a magnificent unisex fragrance, rich and layered and stays on all day!Creed Aventus For Her: I love love love this fresh perfume, it’s almost a cologne. I spray it on generously. These are the products that have made my year feel a little softer and a little more beautiful. I hope they bring you the same joy and the same small moments of luxury. You deserve it! Big kiss!
