We love awards season – or any occasion that warrants ogling celebs on the red carpet.
But, more importantly, we love beauty, so we put the two together and rounded up our best red carpet beauty looks from the 2015 Met Gala, Cannes Film Festival and the CFDA Awards.
BOLD LIPS
SPOTTED: Karlie Kloss at the CFDA Awards who donned a siren red lip and Lily Aldridge and Rosie Huntington-Whitely on the Met Gala red carpet.
THE TREND: Whether you’re smiling from ear-to-ear like Karlie, or perfecting your pout like Lily, these beauties are letting their lips make bright and bold statements.
THE PRODUCT: MAC lipstick in Russian Red (R195) or L’Oreal Paris Colour Riche Lip Liner in Intense Plum (R115, leading retailers) to re-create Lily and Rosie’s darker hues.
WELL-GROOMED BROWS
SPOTTED: Kim Kardashian West at the CFDA Awards and Liu Wen and Marion Cotillard on the French Riveria in Cannes.
THE TREND: Whether your brows are bushy or sparse, grooming is key. Brush them out with an dried-up mascara wand then, lightly fill them in with a brow pencil.
THE PRODUCT: Bobbi Brown Dark Brow Kit (R610 at Bobbi Brown counters).
SULTRY EYES
SPOTTED: Joan Smalls on the CFDA Awards red carpet, Cara Develingne at the Met Gala and Adriana Lima in Cannes
THE TREND: Smoked out eyes. While Joan and Cara opted for smouldering and sexy, Adriana kept it simple with a demure cat-eye. More importantly, all are looks that cannot be complete without a standout liner.
THE PRODUCT: GOSH Cosmetics Black Ink Velvet Touch Waterproof Eyeliner (R105, at selected Edgars stores).
TASTEFULLY NUDE
SPOTTED: Candice Swanapoel and Alison Williams at the Met Gala and Ana Beatriz in Cannes
THE TREND: Makeup that doesn’t transform but enhances beauty. Blushing nudes that can be carried from your lips to your cheeks.
THE PRODUCT: MAC 2015 Spring/Summer Lip and Cheek Palette (R450 at selected MAC counters and free-standing stores)
