We associate the red carpet with something very beautiful, expensive and refined. We dropped by the 2018 Met-Gala and the 71st Cannes Film Festival and were disappointed. Some stars, apparently, were blacklisted by makeup artists, because a priori they do not make a good make-up.
Kristen, what do we do with you?
Whatever makeup is, it's a complete failure. Apparently, the face of Chanel and the muse of Karl Lagerfeld decided to take revenge for the fact that in "Twilight" she was almost never painted, so she stole my mother's cosmetic bag and put on all of her makeup at once. The eye makeup turned out to be quite interesting - and should have stopped on it. But a cheap hot pink lipstick, completely out of sync with the color type of the star, ruined the whole look. Although, perhaps, she so deliberately attracts attention to show who is one of the judges of the Cannes Film Festival?
In Cannes, Kristen seems to have forgotten to take her makeup artist altogether, so she had to do it herself. And this is the last day when all the star guests dress as brightly as possible ?! Kristen, just for the sake of it, casually spent once a century with a brush and decided to stop there. So we got a tired look.
There is a very big difference between an androgynous style and a punk rocker. Our gentle princess from the "Twilight" saga, obviously, did not catch this difference. Overly heavy eye makeup makes the face embittered, and Kristen's beautiful eye color is drowned in that ink.
All That Glitters Is Not Gold
Cara Delevingne swam in a gold shimmer before the Met Gala. Berry lips and blush seemed to be ripped out of another image. Kara's makeup artist, by the way, does not know at all how to do contouring and strobing. No veil of beads will be able to hide her beauty failure.
When Sasha Lane was getting ready, she decided that an extravagant hairstyle would be enough, but at the last moment she changed her mind, and there was no time left for a full-fledged makeup. The poor thing was not taken aback, quickly ran her fingers into the palette, having previously chosen a hellish golden shimmer, and rubbed it over the centuries. We give excellent marks for resourcefulness and two marks for execution.
Apparently, immediately after the Met-Gala, Gisele Bündchen went to a pawnshop. For a gold dress, gold earrings, a gold purse and, of course, gold shadows that crumbled across her cheeks, she must have been poured a fortune. Add to this look the blonde (oddly not gold) hair of the top model, and now you can safely start looking for her in a stack of golden hay.
Caution, shocking!
Does Tessa Thompson really think the cartographic markings around the outer corner are the new trend of the upcoming season? Bold white eyeliner all over the eye, with an unexpected accent on the lower eyelid, looks like an undimmed concealer in the lightest shade. Or was it the makeup artist who was afraid to draw uneven arrows and set himself auxiliary marks, which he later forgot to erase?
From now on, we are lifelong fans of make-up artist Cynthia Erivo! We will not scold even for an unexpected highlighter on the bridge of the nose. Using a bag of rhinestones to hide an unsuccessful eyebrow tattoo is a great move. At the most extravagant event of the year, the Met Gala, it worked, and then Cynthia, what can you do?
If Lily Collins set herself the goal of portraying the daughter of sad Pierrot and Elizabeth I, then congratulations - she succeeded. Outrageous outrageous, but berry glossy lips stand out from the calm gray scale of makeup, lipstick of a stone shade would come in handy in this restrained beauty image. And yet, next time, let Lily better parody the cheerful Harlequin than arrange a celebration of grief at a social event.
Red maiden
For the Game of Thrones star, a make-up artist painted a poisonous pink smoky up to his eyebrows. An attempt to make Emilia Clarke a make-up in a fashionable draping technique turned into a complete failure and a vainly translated pack of blush. But if the actress chose a cold pale pink shade, ideally suited to her color type, then the eye makeup would turn out to be "sow hot".
Although total red looks are in fashion right now, this trend is still about clothes, not makeup. On beauty images, as if screaming to us "Look how I love the burgundy color", we impose a strict taboo. Remember, taste is the ability to combine colors, and not mindlessly select shades that perfectly match the color of clothes. Scarlett Johansson apparently cheated this skill by nature.
Lena Dunham probably watched too many films about medieval England and was too inspired by the images of the virgin queen Elizabeth I. Cheeks slipped down due to the clumsily placed blush accents. There can be no talk of any lifting makeup. Should we draw your attention to how not to do the effect of kissed lips? Or is it all so obvious? Due to the makeup artist's mistakes, Lina's already plump lips turned into a narrow crack. You won't even look at this horror without tears.
Hello granny
We've been trying to figure out for a long time: is Sarah Jessica Parker's makeup artist hopelessly stuck in the turbulent 90s? Or is he thus taking revenge on the actress for the lack of a sequel to Sex and the City? How else to explain this eerie blue frost on the eyes, shaded to the very eyebrows? This rustic make-up not only makes the actress look old, but also visually reduces her eyes.
Madonna is still getting younger: a mesh veil hides a recent circular facelift, and tightly braided spikelets stretch the skin of the face and eyes to the temples so that no wrinkles are visible.
Another failure of Cannes is the beauty image of Chloe Sevigny. Apparently, she was inspired by the natural makeup trend. It is a pity that the makeup artists did not warn her that a "natural" tone on aging skin is created thanks to a ton of concealers. Chloe looks very tired and slightly puffy. Someone tell this poor thing about patches and cloth masks, please! Smoky eyes, by the way, could hide the overhanging eyelid, but there are no smoky eyes, but the drooping eyelid stands out too clearly. Chloe, if you're in your 40s, it's time to master the art of anti-aging makeup … or at least find a smart makeup artist.
Maximum none
Note that we did not scold Cynthia Erivo for rhinestones, because the Met Gala carnival night obliges to shine. But we will scold Emilia Ratzkowski. The star's make-up artist spread out frank dirt on his face: the sculptor turns yellow skin, there is no depth and well-developed relief in the eye makeup, lips are painted in places, and lipstick is generally bald. Brick smoky eyes do not suit the mulatto color type at all. Or did the makeup artist just confuse the shadows with the sculptor? Emilia's makeup has made her look very old.
Kim Kardashian is not even interesting to discuss. For two weeks in a row, we have been indignant over the incomprehensible colored lenses that she wore at the Met Gala. And her image is too predictable: hard sculpting and eyebrows to the middle of the forehead. At least once would appear in a new and unbroken image without unnatural contouring. Her favorite baking made her look like a chipmunk.
The rebranding of Pope Rihanna's image still failed! And the point is in the failed makeup. Smeared lipstick and smoky eyes, filled with earthy shades, suddenly turn into light beige eyebrows that look like a bad tattoo - and this despite the fact that Rihanna is a mulatto.
