I’ll show you Marie Antoinette’s favorite ingredients to use in her beauty routines that are still used today, as well as, some of my favorite French skincare products that I use in my professional makeup kit. With a few delicious Marie approved treats along the way, I’ll show you the Paris she would have known as well as introduce you to some of the women of her entourage!”
