Finding your inner French girl. The gamine or French girl is the composite of many interesting paradoxes. It is nearly impossible to sum up a gamine. She is the Bohemian who wanders Parisian flea markets. She is the intellectual who lives in books. She is the playful tomboy. She is the pretty princess. She is the classic bourgeois. She is the stately matron. The stereotypical French girl is often thin, casually chic, and fashionable despite a simple wardrobe. With or without makeup, she is always put together and utterly self confident, imbued with natural elegance and an elusive distance. But in reality the French girl comes in a variety of styles and body shapes and whatever her figure, she looks remarkable and just plain sexy. The French girl understands that sexy is a state of mind. She is in essence a way of being, a mind-set and she exists in us all. She is the part of us that is free. She is, more fundamentally, that part of us that does not want to live according to what others think she should be. She is her own woman. Entirely. Do you have the “je ne sais quoi” that the Gamine Girl seems to have? Celebrate your inner Gamine Girl at Gamine Beauty Bar.

Studio Bio

Maria’s philosophy for the many faces of flawless:
Embrace the natural beauty of the client. Bring out the beauty in everyone.

Modern Beauty Make-up requires an acute eye for detail and a flawless make-up application that begins with healthy, radiant skin.

What makes Gamine Beauty Bar Unique?
The Philosophy. Gamine Beauty Bar’s main service product lines of Brow Shaping, Professional Skincare and Make-Up Services are best described in fashion terms.

Maria provides a Couture Brow Service. She designs and shapes a client’s brows based on their facial anatomy. She approaches brow shaping in terms of enhancing individual beauty vs. hair removal. Her experience has shown her that they eyebrow is the most important beauty mark on a client’s face. Ultimately, you can look 10 years younger with a “lifted” arch and the Classic Brow Shape.

In terms of her approach to skincare-think The Classics or Back to Basics, your favorite LBD, your one piece of fashion in your wardrobe that you can always count on. Maria partners with the client to make sure that they meet their goal of flawless skin together. She demonstrates through professional treatments, education, and home care, that beautiful skin can be achieved with a less is more vs more is more philosophy. (She incorporates advances and trends in skincare as appropriate for each client, but firmly believes in a simple regimen to keep on target for flawless skin.) She utilizes state of the art products with immediate results and long lasting benefits to ensure your best skin now and in the future.

When you think of Maria’s approach to make-up, think Ready to Wear. Her make-up mantra has always been to enhance an individual’s unique features. She doesn’t believe in creating a mask-she wants the client to shine, be able to recreate a look and put their best face forward everyday. (She loves to help women interpret the latest trends and find a make-up routine that enhances their best features.) Gamine Beauty Bar showcases beautiful performance products that are very wearable whether you crave that perfect natural make-up look or love a sensual, smoldering eye.
