May Looks I'm Loving..

From the Met Ball to the Cannes this month has been filled with amazing makeup looks. Here are some of my favourites..

Aishwarya Rai
I love the simplicity and vibrance of this look. It looks as if Aishwarya Rai has used a lot of highlight and contour but because of how simple her eyes are it really makes her skin look sculpted and natural. The bright orange lip is great and the blue undertones really photograph well.
 Leighton Meester

Leighton's skin looks amazing here! Its glowing, it looks as if she hasn't used much foundation at all which I really like. There is a real boho feel to this makeup and the fact that she's kept everything so muted really plays up her eyes. I really like the use of browns and golds on the eyes and her tousled curls work well with the whole look. 

Selena Gomez

Im not usually a fan of how much makeup Selena usually wears but I like how different she's gone with this look. The plum tones really work well with her dress and I like that she's kept her hair up so its not too much. I really think the berry lip suits her so it will be interesting to see if she's going to re-wear it. If I had to change one thing though, I would go lighter on the lashes, although I do like it's wispiness. 

Marion Cotillard

Marion never seems to get it wrong. She oozes parisian chic here! Her glossy orange/red lip is bang on trend and I like that she's used metallic golds on the eye too. The colour combination works amazingly with her dress and I love her styled updo it really works well with the whole look. 
Eva Longoria

Eva Longoria always manages to look glamorous but I particular like this look out of her cannes red carpet appearance. I've seen this smokey eye on her many times before, but I like that she's found something that works well and stuck with it. She's kept her skin glowing and contoured and all in all it's fool proof. 

Freida Pinto


I have to say I really struggled to narrow down my favourite look for Freida Pinto. I loved them all! She manages to get away with any look she tries. I supposed when you're a model it comes with the trade. Even so, I particularly liked her take on a smokey eye in the first pic. She's used a black with specs of glitter which works well with the frosty finish of her lips. The second pic is also another favourite, the berry lip works well with her dress and I'm in love with her glossy hair!

Olivia Munn

Olivia looks so fresh and funky here. Her skin's glowing here,  and I love that she's allowed her freckles to show through. She's got a shimmering highlight on which makes her look really healthy and paired with a matte orange lip and 50s inspired hair its one of my favourite natural looks.
Joan Smalls

Joan has brought grunge chic to the Met Ball. She's played up her striking features, the use of this bold purple lip paired with her mauve dress works amazingly and I love the side fishtail braid. Its a very unique look and I love that she chose to try something different .
Kim Kardashian

The Kim at this year's Met Ball and the Kim at last years are at opposite poles of the spectrum. She looks amazing here! She's steered away from over made up lashes and heavy contour and gone for something supple and glowing. I love that she's used more highlight and blush here it makes her skin glow. Glossy lips and flowing curls really compliments her here and I'd like to see more of these kind of looks from her because it's really works!

Rosie Huntington Whitley

Rosie has stuck to something quite simple for this dress which I think is a good choice because her dress is so busy with detail it may have been too much. I quite like the heavy winged eyeliner, although I think its time she tries something new on her lips, nude seems to be a little over done recently. 

Blake Lively 



The showstopper of this month has to be Blake. She was my most favourite celebrity of the Cannes really channelling old school hollywood glamour at its finest. Blake always manages to keep her skin glowing and I like that she's played with braids and textured curls. She's a big fan of the inner corner highlight and I think its working really well for her. I am intrigued to see what else she will pull out of her sleeve but I have to say I am very impressed.
