The 69th Cannes Film Festival – the event that gathered the celebs from all over the world – has just drew its curtains down. I’ve seen some amazing make-up looks that can be a great source of inspiration for any party this summer. I chose five of them, the most elegant, but, most importantly, those you can „make-up” yourself.
1
Blake Lively – Discreet Pink
Do you know that a soft pink lipstick or gloss can work miracles? Yes, the very product you are using every morning, without paying too much attention to it. Well, it was Blake Lively’s choice – the foundation, an almost invisible blush, mascara and pinkish lips. A perfect make-up for a strong red outfit. Perfect choice: Clarins Instant Lip Protector
2
Charlize Theron – Smoky Eyes
She wore this splendid masculine inspired outfit, unanimously discussed, studied and admired: a white shirt and blazer with a classic pair of black trousers. Her make-up emphasises the eyes: black eye shadow discreetly completed by golden-bronze shades. Nude lips and the most seducing smile. Voila! Perfect choice: Lancome Hypnose Star Eyes Palette
3
Kirsten Dunst – Red Lips
The gorgeous blonde actress went for a matte red lipstick, which caught the eyes of the all pretentious audience. It’s a strong and seductive color, so that any other touch would have been too much. Pick a long lasting lipstick or turn one with a glossy, hydrating formula into a matte one, that stays all night on your lips. How? Just apply a layer of powder on top and, yeap, that’s it, you’re ready to go. Perfect choice: Rouge Pur Couture Vernis a Levres from Yves Saint Laurent
4
Kendall Jenner – Brown Touch
The brown eye shadows flatter any complexion. But for the brunette Kendall Jenner it does marvels. And no, it’s not at all a sophisticated make-up: the eye shadow is applied both on the upper and lower eyelids, and the eyelashes are simply highlighted with mascara. Isn’t it worth trying? Perfect choice: Shiseido Luminizing Satin Eye Trio
5
Adriana Lima – Black Eyeliner
The famous model also chose a make-up that puts the emphasis on the eyes. Again, nothing so complicated that you can’t replicate yourself. The secret lies in the black eyeliner, applied all throughout the upper eyelid, continuing only in the corners of the lower eyelid. All you still need is a touch of mascara for volume and length. Perfect choice: Givenchy Khol Couture Waterproof
