This year at the 68th edition of the Cannes Film Festival Charlotte Casiraghi, the face of Gucci Cosmetics, walked the red carpet in a dreamy sky blue floral printed dress. The romantic gown called for her makeup artist Elika Bavar to create the soft innocent makeup look to complement her dress. Using the products that were actually applied, follow these easy steps to achieve this look.
FACE:
Start off by using GUCCI Lustrous Glow Foundation with SPF 25 in Dark 120 (make sure to find your correct shade). This is great for a daytime summer event since it has a built-in sunscreen and has a naturally flawless dewy finish.
Apply all over the face leaving out the under eye. Next, apply GUCCI Luminous Perfecting Concealer in Medium 030 (find your correct shade) all over the under eye and even while moving up towards the temples to give you that flawless red carpet glow. This look is very soft but if you feel like you may get a bit oily throughout the day, add in an extra step of a sheer powder to set your makeup.
Next, chose one of the two blush tones (or mix the two like Elika did) and GUCCI Sheer Blushing Powder in Soft Peach 030 is a beautiful coral shade, but if you are feeling a bit more rosy, another option is Tulip Blossom 070. Both are very light sheer colors that look really natural.
EYES:
GUCCI Magnetic Color Shadow Quad in Tuscan Storm 020 is a set of 4 neutral eyeshadows that range from light beige to brown. Chances are you probably have something similar in your make up collection at home so use your favorite tans and browns to set a nice base for the next step. GUCCI Magnetic Color Shadow Quad in Ocean Rhapsody 100 has a blue shade that goes perfectly with Casiraghi's blue colored gown. The rest of the colors in this palette may not be warm enough for a golden skin tone but the blue would look great as a pop color if used just on the center of the lids. Follow this with a few coats of GUCCI Opulent Volume Mascara in Iconic Black 010.
LIPS:
Charlotte Casiraghi's dress had a burgundy belt that paired up beautifully with GUCCI Audacious Color-Intense Lipstick in Berry Vanity 150. A nude lip would also look great with this look.
Nails:
GUCCI Bold-High Gloss Lacquer in Orchid Overdose 140 is a wonderful nail shade that can be worn all year round and flatters all skin tones.
This is a very neutral beauty look with a little pop of color, so depending on the color of your dress experiment with a fun shade that complements your dress while keeping the rest of your makeup more neutral.
