The stars have been descending onto the French Riviera for the 69th Annual Cannes Film Festival and are pulling out all the stops on the beauty front for their stunning red carpet appearances.
Amal Clooney was certainly the definition of old Hollywood glamour last night for the Money Monster premiere; in a pastel yellow Versace gown, with a classic red carpet beauty look which was created by Charlotte Tilbury herself. Charlotte worked her magic and gave Amal a soft smoky eye, perfect red pout and a flawless complexion.
Here’s how Amal got her gorgeous makeup done and exactly which products you need to get her red carpet look:
Charlotte shares the steps to create Amal’s red carpet look:
- First, Charlotte moisturised the skin with her signature Magic Cream to prep and hydrate, then primed with her secret weapon Wonderglow.
- Next, Magic Foundation in Shades 7 and 8 were applied to ensure Amal’s complexion was flawless, followed by a light concealing of any imperfections with The Retoucher in Shade 3. Charlotte then used her sell-out product Mini Miracle Eye Wand in Shade 2 on the eye socket to brighten and lift.
- Charlotte continued by warming up Amal’s complexion using her Bronzer Brush with the sculpt shade in Filmstar Bronze and Glow and dusting it across her temples and over the cheekbones. Next, Charlotte applied Cheek to Chic Blusher in Ecstasy on top of Amal’s cheekbones for a romantic flush.
- Charlotte continued with facial framework by softly perfecting Amal’s already perfect eyebrows with Brow Lift in Cara D.
- To create Amal’s mesmerizing eyes, Charlotte applied the pop shade from The Luxury Palette in The Vintage Vamp onto the lids for a soft shimmer. Next, Charlotte took her Rock n Kohl Eyeliner in Barbarella Brown and followed the upper lash line along and out into a soft flick for subtle definition. Using her Smudger Brush Charlotte used the enhance shade from The Luxury Palette in The Golden Goddess to softly define the waterline of the eyes.
- To achieve red-carpet glamour, Charlotte curled Amal’s lashes using Life Changing Lashes and applied two coats of her new Legendary Lashes mascara for an instant false lash effect.
- To complete the look, Charlotte applied the ultimate Hollywood red lipstick K.I.S.S.I.N.G Lipstick in Love Bite to give instant glamour.
Lily Donaldson braved a bold cherry lip in her beautifully sophisticated and elegant makeup look that we absolutely love. She pairs her lip with subtle tones on her eyes, using pearlescent textures to make her eyes sparkle and defined her blue eyes with bold lashes. We have had a close look and put together some recommended key products to get Lily’s red carpet makeup look below:
- Lily’s skin looked glowing and fresh, so we recommend the BareMinerals Complexion Rescue Tinted Hydrating Gel Cream to get a plump, moisturised and natural look whilst adding a little coverage. Her undereyes, forehead and chin look slightly illuminated so we would suggest a little dab of Urban Decay’s Naked Skin Concealer for a weightless finish to blend into your skin leaving a natural amount of coverage.
- MAC’s Dusky Rose Times Nine Eyeshadow Palette is the perfect selection of colours for a cool-toned blend of pinky hues, with deeper brown-grey shades for a smokey eye to match Lily’s.
- Lily has super subtle sculpting and a rosy flush on her cheekbones to keep most of the focus on her lips, so we think the Ciaté London Olivia Palermo Cheekbone Cheat Duo in Bluffpoint are the blend of shades you need to give you just that.
- We all love a good brow, and the Delilah Brow Line Pencil with Brush is the thinnest brow pencil around, so you can literally draw on the hairs to fill your brows in the most natural way possible. The groomer will then help tame your hairs for a neat and defined brow look.
- Maybelline Superstay 14hr Lipstick in Crimson is the perfect shade to finish this look off, with a long-lasting formula to keep it on all night long.
