"The "French girl" red lip is a more laissez-faire approach to the look. While the traditional red lip is carefully applied and bold, this variation is matte, blurred, and intentionally lived-in. It gives the impression that you swiped it on in the morning, then spent the rest of the day doing impossibly chic things - never once bothering to reapply."
"This kind of red lip has seen sips of coffee, bites of croissant, conversations with friends, and maybe even a makeout session - and that's why it's so appealing. It's proof that red lips are more versatile than you might think, says celebrity makeup artist Fiona Stiles, who did Lily Collins' red lip for the recent Emily in Paris premiere using Thrive Causemetics."
"'They can be sexy, defiant, chic, sweet, powerful, or coy,' she tells Bustle. 'It depends so much on the wearer and how the look is presented.' According to Stiles, today's trendiest red lip is one that doesn't feel too serious. 'There isn't a full face of makeup happening [with this look], so it feels easy and fresh,' she says."
A classic red lip remains timeless and is currently trending through Emily in Paris and viral TikTok demonstrations. The French-girl red lip favors a matte, blurred, lived-in finish that appears casually applied and endures daily activities without constant reapplication. The style communicates varied moods—sexy, defiant, chic, sweet, powerful, or coy—depending on the wearer and presentation. Celebrity makeup artist Fiona Stiles emphasizes a lighter overall makeup approach for freshness and notes that the trend feels easy and approachable. Properly moisturized lips provide the best base for this intentionally imperfect look.
