Explore Paris Through the Eyes of Marie Antoinette: A Unique Beauty Tour

Discover Hidden Beauty Gems in the City

When one thinks of Marie Antoinette, images of extravagant gowns, towering powdered wigs, and the opulent halls of Versailles often come to mind. However, beyond the lavish façade was a queen deeply passionate about beauty, skincare, and self-care rituals. What if you could step into the Paris she adored while uncovering some of its most treasured beauty secrets?

As a professional makeup artist residing in Paris, I have crafted a distinctive experience that merges French beauty, captivating history, and the hidden gems of the city into a memorable afternoon.

The Beauty Legacy of a Queen

Long before the rise of beauty influencers, Marie Antoinette was a trendsetter in Europe. She introduced her unique hygiene practices from Austria and transformed the beauty standards at the French court. Her love for luxurious skincare routines, floral waters, and botanical ingredients continues to resonate in modern French skincare. Many of the elements she cherished are still prevalent today, making them more accessible than ever for beauty enthusiasts.

On my Marie Antoinette Guided Shopping Tour, we will delve into the intersection of history and beauty, exploring how the beauty traditions of the 18th century still influence contemporary French skincare and makeup.

Experience a Unique Side of Paris

This tour is not your average sightseeing excursion. Instead of navigating through crowded tourist spots, we will meander through enchanting historic streets and discover hidden corners of Paris that most visitors overlook. You will encounter a Paris that Marie Antoinette would have recognized.

Our itinerary includes visits to:

• Historic apothecaries
• Traditional herbalists
• A modern French pharmacy that honors age-old beauty traditions
• Significant locations related to Marie Antoinette and her circle

Throughout the tour, I will share intriguing stories about the queen, her beauty rituals, and introduce you to remarkable women from her entourage whose contributions have been largely forgotten.

As a makeup artist immersed in the Paris beauty scene, I am always testing products and working with clients from around the globe. During our tour, I will provide insights on:

• The most worthwhile French pharmacy products
• My top skincare selections from my professional makeup kit
