Well, now France has been on the cutting edge of the fashion scene since the beginning of time, so why would beauty be any difference.  You are probably familiar with the major luxury brands CHANEL, DIOR, MAKE UP FOR EVER, etc but there are a few smaller gems out of Paris that are worth a first (or second) look!


BEAUTY FROM NATURE
If you are going green or simply into natural beauty, KLORANE is the line for you.  While many brands worldwide use plant extracts in their ingredients, Klorane actually harnesses the power within these extracts to provide a completely customizable regimen that works for you.
