Anyone who knows anything about movies will tell you that the Cannes Film Festival is one of the most prestigious film events of the year. Not only is it where some of Hollywood’s finest are recognized for their work on the silver screen, but their fashion as well! This year, numerous celebrities showed up to the 66th Annual Cannes Film Festival to celebrate a year that’s already been filled with blockbuster hits.
Many of the stars who attended the event turned heads for their ensembles as well as the makeup they wore on the red carpet. Whether you didn’t get a chance to pick up a celebrity gossip magazine yet or search the Internet for Cannes Film Festival news, it’s not too late to see who wore what in front of the cameras! Some of these ladies’ fashion and cosmetic choices will likely set the tone for the upcoming season.
Emma Watson
This gorgeous celebrity has come a long way since originally gaining worldwide fame in the “Harry Potter” movie series. At the Cannes Film Festival, Watson chose to show off her natural beauty through the makeup she selected for the event. Rather than opt for a bold lipstick, she selected a subtle pink for her pout. Additionally, Watson kept it simple with her eyes – it seems that she had a bit of silver shimmery eyeshadow on her lids to brighten up her peepers. A hint of black mascara was also added to extend her natural lashes. However, there was nothing more than that on her face to showcase her stunning natural features!
Carey Mulligan
Watson wasn’t the only star who chose to tone it down for the red carpet event – Carey Mulligan, who starred in “The Great Gatsby,” also decided to wear less makeup in front of the cameras. Just like Watson, she proved that you don’t need to cake on the blush and eyeliner to look beautiful! Mulligan had a bit of dark mascara on her lashes to give them some volume, but did little else around her peepers. Instead of going with a vivid shade of lipstick, she thought it would be best to wear a nude shade on her pout, which worked wonderfully with her skin tone. It appears that Mulligan chose to skip the blush and opt for even more simplicity on her cheeks, and it suited her incredibly well.
Nicole Kidman
Another renowned actress who knows a thing or two about walking red carpets is Nicole Kidman, and she was present at the Cannes Film Festival. Kidman chose to wear a peachy lipstick on her lips that shined as she smiled for the cameras. She decided to be a bit bolder than Mulligan and Watson with her eye makeup choice, creating a cat-eye look around her peepers with mascara and eyeliner, according to My Daily. This technique was executed wonderfully to bring out the baby blue color of her irises.
Julianne Moore
At the Cannes Film Festival, many found Moore’s poofy retro dress to be a little much, according to The Huffington Post. However, she hit the right note with her makeup, which gave her a lively appearance. Moore had a bit of rouge blush on her cheeks and complemented the color with a deep pink lipstick on her pout. She also decided to create a dramatic look using black eyeliner and mascara around her eyes to truly make them sparkle.
Whether you want to recreate Emma Watson’s look or Carey Mulligan’s neutral appearance, it’s worth taking notes before you whip out your bag of cosmetics!
When she isn’t singing and wowing fans on stage, Miley Cyrus is attending some of the hottest events in Hollywood. Recently, the young celebrity attended the Maxim Hot 100 Party and opted for bold red lipstick, long lashes and an ample amount of mascara to impress onlookers. However, Hollywood Life claims that she made one obvious mistake – she didn’t blend her makeup!
Whoever was in charge of Ms. Cyrus’ face will likely be getting a talking to after her appearance at this star-studded event. The powder used on the rest of her face was blended poorly – if not at all – around her chin. This created a mismatched look that attracted the attention of photographers at the party.
As you can see, these types of cosmetics mistakes happen to the best of us. However, there are a few ways you can ensure that you’re using your powder properly when you apply it to your face. TLC claims that it’s critical to blend your foundation all the way down to your neck to create a cohesive look. Then, blend all of your makeup seamlessly throughout your face, whether you’re using just blush or going nuts with everything from eyeshadow to bronzer.
One woman who knows a lot about showing off her gorgeous complexion in front of the cameras is Kerry Washington. When she isn’t acting, she’s making appearances at movie premieres. Recently, Washington was spotted at the debut of “Peeples” in Los Angeles looking more radiant than ever.
Washington decided to go glam for the event, showing off her curves in a beautiful black and white gown. On her face, she chose to use a bit of black eyeliner around her eyes and treated her lashes to an ample amount of dark mascara. However, it was her pout that truly stole the show – Washington opted for a mauve lipstick that accentuated the curves and voluptuous size of her lips. Under the lights of the cameras, she turned heads as she walked down the red carpet.
Not everyone is blessed with large, luscious lips, and you might be one of the many people out there with a small pout. That being said, don’t worry – there are many ways to create the illusion of more size! Parents Connect recommends using a lip liner to define their shape, then opting for a neutral lipstick.
There’s nothing quite like a movie premiere to show off your natural beauty, and that’s just what actress Michelle Rodriguez did when she attended the debut of “Fast & Furious 6.” She showed up to the event wearing a lavish red dress and wore her brunette locks in an updo that allowed her face to shine.
As Rodriguez posed for the cameras, it was hard not to notice her beautiful black eyeliner, which lined the rims of her peepers. Rather than use dramatic makeup throughout the rest of her face, Rodriguez decided to let her eyes do all of the work. On her pout, she opted for a glossy neutral lipstick to complement her intriguing smile.
If you’re interested in looking glamorous like Rodriguez without going to too much trouble, all you need is your own black eyeliner. To achieve a sexy, radiant appearance, Redbook magazine recommends tilting your chin up to make it easier to flawlessly apply your eyeliner. Try to make sure that your elbow and arm are steady as well to create the perfect look. In the end, you’ll be ready to take on the day!
How many times have you found yourself looking in the mirror only to wish you appeared more glamorous, like the women you see on TV? The fact of the matter is that actors receive plenty of professional makeup work behind the scenes! However, this doesn’t mean that you can’t look as chic and flawless as the stars seen on shows like “Mad Men” right in your own home. With the right cosmetics, anything is possible!
If you’re a culture buff or you simply love diving into new television series, chances are you’ve taken a liking to “Mad Men.” This AMC series, which is in its sixth season, takes place in the 1960s, when times were simpler. That being said, it seems that women still paid careful attention to their hair and makeup back then, as seen by some of the cosmetics worn by actresses Elisabeth Moss and January Jones. The show is renowned for artfully portraying the time period, which now has viewers taking on some of the looks of the 1960s here in the 21st century.
While it may seem strange, the truth is that some of the makeup trends from the show are fitting seamlessly into our era. Here are some tips on how to get the looks from popular characters on “Mad Men!”
Joan Harris
If you want to look as glamorous as Harris on the show, opt for a simple pressed foundation to eliminate any existing blemishes. Then, use a moisturizer to create a dewy complexion. Top it off with a bold red lipstick on your pout, and you’re good to go!
Megan Draper
Luckily, you can get away with winged eyeliner in the 21st century and look modern, which is what Ms. Draper tends to wear on the show. Natural blush and subtle eyeshadow can help you round off the look.
Betty Francis
Big lashes and curls are the name of the game if you want Betty Francis’ luxurious appearance! Get ready to whip out the lash curler and volumizing mousse for your hair to achieve a true “Mad Men” feel.
Don Draper
Want your man to look more like Don? Suggest a sweet aftershave and prep him with a product such as a badger hair brush to lather up before getting rid of stubble. If he’s a fan of the show, he’ll love that you picked up these tips!
While you might have plenty of BABOR cosmetics to prepare for summer, it helps to know what’s up and coming in the world of fashion. By keeping an eye on trends, you can ensure that you’re always dressed and dolled up for every occasion. That being said, the red carpet is often a reliable source for information on everything from lipstick to stylish shoes.
One event that recently garnered an ample amount of attention was the 2013 Met Gala, which had a punk theme. This celebrity-studded gala was dedicated to recognizing those who’ve made an impact on fashion in recent months, and every attendee seemed to be trying to prove her worth. Here are some of the most notable A-listers who showed up at the 2013 Met Gala, many of whom tried to seamlessly fit into the punk theme.
Jennifer Lawrence
When she isn’t starring in hit films such as “The Hunger Games,” Jennifer Lawrence is turning heads on the red carpet. The Gala was no different, where she decided to wear a sheer dark veil over her face and a little black dress covered in sequins. To add to the drama of her beautiful ensemble, Lawrence chose to go with a bold red lipstick and black liquid eyeliner around her peepers. The cat-eye look made her eyes appear larger and more intriguing.
Kristen Stewart
Another young actress who was lucky enough to receive an invite was Kristen Stewart. While her outfits usually have punk flair to them, Stewart went a little different this time around with a red satin pantsuit. To complement the ensemble, she used a bold red eyeshadow on her lids and lined the rims of her eyes with a dramatic black eyeliner. She let this makeup do all of the talking, opting for a nude shade on her pout.
Beyonce
Beyonce once again proved that you don’t need to pile on the makeup to look beautiful. In a photo snapped by the New York Daily News, Beyonce looked stunning wearing neutral makeup and focusing more on her ensemble. The songstress decided to wear a black strapless gown with a flame-like pattern that gave the dress some oomph. To add to the outfit, she wore matching thigh-high boots. In the end, it was her fashion choices that towered over her makeup, but her natural beauty prevailed.
Kim Kardashian
While some might be wondering how the reality star got an invite to such a prestigious event, one look at her boyfriend explains it all. Kanye West is not only renowned for his music, but his fashion choices – and luxurious designer ensembles. His girlfriend and baby mama showed up to the 2013 Met Gala wearing a dress that looked more like a floral tablecloth, hugging her pregnant body at all the wrong angles. However, Kardashian made up for her outfit mishap by wearing beautiful makeup that showcased one of her best features – her lips. On her pout, she wore a rich magenta lipstick and sported dark eyeliner for more drama.
Madonna
The Queen of Pop knows a thing or two about fashion, and she proved it at the Gala. Not only did she opt for an edgy, punk plaid blazer and shorts, but she wore the perfect makeup for the occasion. Madonna chose to go with a bright red lipstick on her pout to steal the show and dolled up her eyes with liquid eyeliner, creating a cat-eye look. She was one of many who used this trick that evening, but she pulled it off with the best of them.
These days, more celebrities are stepping onto the red carpet wearing glamorous ensembles and complementing them with little makeup. While you might not be able to envision yourself leaving the house without at least a little lip gloss, some actresses are taking the dive and showing off their natural beauty.
One woman who knows how to turn heads is actress Jennifer Lawrence, and she always works up a frenzy when she’s on the red carpet. Recently, Lawrence attended the premiere of “The Great Gatsby” wearing almost no makeup on her beautiful face, according to The Huffington Post. Aside from a little neutral lipstick on her pout, Lawrence bravely made an appearance without cosmetics. To the surprise of many, everyone loved her choice to go bare.
If you can’t imagine leaving your makeup behind, there are a few ways you can achieve a similar look without completely ditching your eyeliner, lipstick and eyeshadow. Real Simple magazine recommends evening out your skin tone with a tinted moisturizer, then only using concealer where you need it. Choose neutral colors for your lips and cheeks, and you’re ready to go!
One woman who knows a thing or two about looking fabulous in front of the camera is Carmen Electra. The celebrity, who’s renowned for everything from her acting skills to her beautiful body, recently celebrated her 41st birthday in style. To top it all off, Electra wore dramatic eye makeup to complement her chic ensemble.
The celebrity chose to celebrate her birthday in Las Vegas with her close friends, and she wore a body-hugging black dress to commemorate the event. It had long sleeves and cascaded down to her thighs, where it stopped short to showcase Electra’s stunning legs.
On her eyes, she wore dramatic black eyeliner to make her peepers seem wider and more intriguing. Electra opted for a glossy neutral lipstick on her pout and allowed her eyes to do all of the talking. To finish off her appearance, she wore dark mascara that gave her lashes length and volume.
If you want to achieve a similar look with your eyeliner, Redbook magazine recommends keeping your head tilted upward as you apply it. This can help you see the entire rims of your eyes as you use the pencil.
One woman who knows how to entertain on many levels is Zooey Deschanel. When she isn’t singing in her band, She & Him, she’s starring on her hit show, “New Girl.” Recently, Deschanel was at the screening of “New Girl” in Hollywood alongside her other cast members. As usual, the actress and singer wowed the crowd with her chic ensemble and beautiful makeup.
Deschanel wore a plaid skirt and a simple black blouse, but it was fitting for the acoustic singer, who tends to play it casual on and off camera. She allowed her natural beauty to speak for itself, wearing makeup on her pout and peepers to accentuate her best features.
The actress opted for black mascara to give her lashes some much needed volume. A black eyeliner around the rims of her eyes gave her a more dramatic appearance fit for the formal occasion. On her lips, Deschanel chose to wear a mauve lipstick that stood out in contrast to her skin tone.
If you want to wear a bold lipstick, you don’t have to be attending a red carpet event! The Huffington Post recommends trying out a few different shades to find which one works best with your skin tone, then buying a lip liner to keep it all in place.
Renowned for her roles on a wide variety of television shows, Nina Dobrev has made her mark on Hollywood early in her young career. Her celebrity status recently earned her a ticket to the red carpet world premiere of “The Great Gatsby,” where she showed off her natural beauty.
Dobrev chose to wear a black dress with a gold glitter pattern on the front to add some flair to her overall look. However, it was her makeup that truly stole the show, complementing her ensemble and accentuating the highlights of her stunning face.
The actress opted to go with dark black eyeliner around her peepers and opted for smoky eyeshadow on her lids. On her cheeks, she had a hint of pink blush and rounded off the look with a neutral lipstick on her pout.
If you want to try a smoky eye look like Dobrev, InStyle magazine recommends using a medium-sized eyeshadow brush to blend accordingly. Then, don’t skimp on the mascara as you add volume and drama to your lashes. If you want to lighten the look, use a shimmery silver eyeshadow on the inner corners of your peepers.
