Our Best Red Carpet Beauty Looks

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: 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.

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
