QUESTION

Hi Petrica,

I’m drooling just thinking about Cannes. The red carpets are replete with countless beauty trends and fashion moments that inspire me. The majority of looks that I think I could try aren’t very wearable. Could you suggest some looks from Cannes that I could try?

Thanks!

Love,

Josie!

ANSWER

Hi Josie,

Not all of them could indeed work, but this year gave us many exciting possibilities. From Portuguese model Sara Sampaio’s fairytale hairstyle to Tamannaah Bhatia’s euphoria eyes, jovial festival-goers filled the festival grounds with beautiful hairstyles and make-up. The good news is that we can copy these tiny elements quite easily! Let’s see what’s all the buzz about right now by looking at these trends.

Bella Hadid

Taking the stage in her vintage Versace dress, Bella Hadid paired graphic black eyeliner with a jumbo braided bun. Her hair made me go wow. I think this is an excellent look to try and would look stunning.

Sara Sampaio

Asymmetrical braids at the front and cascading waves at the back made Sara Sampaio’s ethereal hairstyle look elegant with her off-shoulder Zuhair Murad gown. It is a very feminine and fairy-like look, giving me a feeling of ethereality. I’m going to try this myself.

Iris Mittenaere

The French model Iris Mittenaere looked stunning in a rosy pink lip and cut-out wing eyeliner. Oh, and didn’t she have the most effortless waves? She was the definition of a hair dream.

Beatrice Vendramin

On the Croisette, we had serious hair envy when Beatrice Vendramin rocked her artfully tousled Bardot-like mane. She had stunning eyes, and her matte red lipstick brought out her beautiful eyes.

Tamannaah Bhatia

The graphic eyeliner look by Tamannaah Bhatia took us back to the days when we coveted Euphoria make-up trends. Retro waves finished off the aesthetic, as did a matte nude lipstick. The look is so captivating that I can’t help but recreate it.

Luma Grothe

Luma Grothe gave us a taste of Greek glamour by wearing her necklace as a crown. It was a relaxed look for the Brazilian model with her hair in flowing waves and black eyeliner highlighting her blue eyes.

Pooja Hegde

The sunkissed make-up of Pooja Hegde is reminiscent of the definitive summer look. A highlighter perfectly accentuated the cheekbones with a flawless contour. With her hair pulled back in a low ponytail, she exhibited her long, luscious strands.

So yeah, these are some beauty trends I think are worth checking out. I’d love to know which one you’d like to try first and why?

Love,

Petrica!
