Over the last few weeks, our eyes were firmly placed on the Cannes Film Festival red carpet as the world’s biggest celebrities stepped out in their best beauty and fashion getups. Naturally, we had to pick our favourite beauty looks from the event - and boy, was it tough.

Blake Lively

At the “Cafe Society” photo-call event, Blake Lively went with a beauty look she does best: classic black mascara, pink lipstick and a flawless complexion.

Doutzen Kroes

Doutzen Kroes amped up the cool-factor with kohl-lined eyes and groomed brows at the amfAR Gala.

Liya Kebede

Liya Kebede attended the premiere of “The Unknown Girl” with pared-back sculpted cheeks and highlight down the centre of her nose, to let her green gown shine.

Karlie Kloss

Karlie Kloss wowed the crowds at the amfAR Gala in bright red lipstick, groomed brows and just a touch of colour on her cheeks to warm up her complexion.

Eva Longoria

Metallic eyeshadow is proving to be a big hit this season, with Eva Longoria turning up to the “Money Monster” event in bronze eyeshadow and nude lips.

Helen Mirren

Helen Mirren dialed up the glam factor with a velvety red lipstick and rosy cheeks at the amfAR Gala.

Barbara Palvin

Russian supermodel Barbara Palvin looked absolutely adorable at the “Julieta” event at Cannes, and wore fluttery lashes, a light contour and pink lips.

Frieda Pinto

Freida Pinto chose to stand out in bright, glossy red lips at the “Women in Motion” Prize Reception. Our tip - opt for an orange-based colour if you have olive or dark skin for a standout look.

Soo Joo Park

Soo Joo Park went for a rock n’ roll vibe at the amfAR Gala with dark smoky eyes, and berry-pink lips that sweetened up her look.
