What is it about French women that makes them seem so effortlessly cool? Between the trendy tousled hair, minimalist accessories, and understated makeup, the classic French aesthetic is envied by women all over the world. But how do you achieve such a look? Here’s the simple answer: less effort. French beauty routines focus primarily on good skin care and accentuating a woman’s natural features rather than covering them up. In fact, the goal is not to look flawless but to instead exude an effortless “I woke up like this” aura. Here are three tips for nailing the classic French look. PICK ONE FEATURE In the United States, it’s more common for celebrities to apply dramatic eye makeup, a bold lip, and lots of contouring — often all at once. But the French style prefers to play up one favorite feature by focusing on a statement red lip, smoky eyes, or glowing skin. Pick one feature to dress up and you’ll be looking like a Parisian in no time. FEELING FRENCH? 3 BEAUTY TIPS FROM THE FASHION CAPITAL OF THE WORLD
TREAT YOUR SKIN French women believe that a woman’s beauty comes from within, and what better way to love the skin you’re in than to indulge in a luxurious skin care regimen? A deep pore cleanser, a hydrating night cream, and a vitamin-enriched serum can go a long way toward reviving tired, dehydrated skin. Turn your daily skin care routine into a mini spa treatment, and reap the benefits of a supple, glowing complexion. LET YOUR HAIR DOWN The French look tends to rely less on time-consuming hairstyles, opting instead to accentuate a woman’s natural hair texture. Next time you wash your hair, try letting it air dry and keep the styling to a minimum for a chic, laid-back vibe. As a bonus, embracing this look will keep your hair free of heat damage. At the end of the day, the most important aspect of any beauty routine, no matter what country you’re in, is confidence, and that is something every woman can pull off.
MEET OUR INJECTION NURSE, HALEIGH FOSTER AND HER ALTER EGO ON @INJECTABITCH
a bit, it definitely validates Haleigh’s ability and her great artistic eye.”
While most of our patients here at Music City Plastic Surgery come into our office to meet with Dr. Mike, our nurse, Haleigh Foster, has been giving him a run for his money when it comes to client accumulation. As the clinic’s practice and injection nurse, Haleigh joined the team approximately a year and a half ago. She assists Dr. Mike with his consults and pre- and post-op procedures, and she serves as the patients’ point of contact following their surgery. When Dr. Mike is operating, Haleigh sees patients of her own for Botox, Dysport, and filler injections for all-around facial rejuvenation. When Haleigh started working with Dr. Mike, he trained her to ensure that he felt perfectly comfortable having her give his patients injections. But, humorously enough, he admits, “I let her practice injections on my patients until she had accumulated some of her own, but now, I have my own patients coming back in and saying that they prefer her over me! While hearing that stings
Haleigh’s eye for aesthetic grew during her time at the Vanderbilt Medical Intensive Care Unit. She explains that,
while working as an intensive care nurse was fast-paced and exciting, she enjoys her role at Music City Plastic Surgery far more. “I love that my current patients are choosing to come see me rather than having to due to a life-threatening tragedy. Through my job now, I get to knowmy patients on a much more personal level because I am able to build relationships with them on a continuum,” Haleigh says. When she isn’t at the office, Haleigh and her fiancé spend ample time indulging in the Nashville food scene. They go to every restaurant they possibly can, and one of their favorite pastimes is critiquing craft cocktails. Being foodies, they have to make sure they’re staying active too, which they accomplish by running and playing with their adorable golden retriever, George. If you didn’t get the opportunity to meet Haleigh the last time you were in our office, go to Instagram and check out her alter ego’s work using the handle @Injectabitch. You’ll find awesome before-and-after photos and videos and information for parties where Haleigh will offer patients champagne while keeping themwrinkle-free!
