Silver, Shimmery, and Luminous: Bella Hadid Wore a Full Face of Prada Beauty on the Cannes Red Carpet
Her makeup look is going straight onto my summer mood board.
ICYMI, we're in the midst of the 79th annual Cannes Film Festival. Celebs are flying to the South of France and flooding the red carpet, and Bella Hadid is no exception. On Sunday, May 17, she attended the screening of Garance, wearing a custom Prada dress and dazzling Chopard jewelry. She looked stunning—the highly sophisticated, old-Hollywood glamour we expect to see on the revered Cannes carpet.
The fashion was stunning. However, as a beauty editor, I couldn't help but focus on Hadid's matching makeup look. It was silvery, shimmery, luminous, and created entirely with Prada Beauty products. (No surprise there, Hadid is the brand's Global Beauty Ambassador.) "Bella wanted her glam to sparkle, complementing her dress," says celebrity makeup artist Nadia Tayeh. "We created a silver shimmery eye with black liner to enhance the eyes, paired with glowing skin and a neutral glossy lip for a luminous finish." Ahead, see the exact products she used.
The Exact Products Used
This is the foundation behind Hadid's luminous, velvety skin. It offers medium coverage, a soft-matte finish, and skincare benefits from vitamin E, niacinamide, lactobacillus extract complex, and SPF 17. It's also incredibly long-wearing; the brand promises transfer-resistance up to 24 hours. Hadid wore a mix of shades MN40 and MC60.
Next, Tayeh used this concealer to perfect Hadid's skin. It uses micro-filter pearls for a blurred, yet lit-from-within finish. (I can vouch for it—it's creamy, blendable, and makes my skin look plush and velvety.) There's also squalane to smooth texture and a peptide complex that targets fine lines and dark circles.
Tayeh set Hadid's complexion with this silky setting powder. It's infused with plant-derived squalane, so it never looks dry or cakey. Instead, it provides a stunning, soft-focus finish. Oh, and there's no white cast or flashback, which is why Hadid looked flawless in front of the high-def cameras.
This, dear reader, is the exact silver eye shadow that Tayeh used on Hadid. It glinted beautifully in the light and complemented her custom Prada dress perfectly. I don't know about you, but this is now a must-have for my summer makeup routine. High-impact shades aside, I like that the palette is entirely refillable.
