The 2018 Cannes Film Festival Beauty Looks
At the Cannes Film Festival 2018, the beauty looks coming down the red carpet have been every bit as noteworthy as what's playing on-screen. We thought we had seen plenty of inspiration at this year's Met Gala, but it turns out our favorite celebs still had plenty of makeup and hair highlights to deliver. Stars like Bella Hadid, Kendall Jenner, and Lupita Nyong'o are showing up in the South of France to grace our feeds in couture gowns paired with classic carpet glam. Think: Red lips, burgundy lids, glitter smoky eyes, and head-turning updos. Kristen Stewart, queen of Cannes, has already transformed her short hair several times this week, and Bella also managed to completely change up her hair four times in as many days. Whether you're looking for prom inspiration or just want to upgrade all your summer looks, the Cannes carpet is definitely delivering this year. Scroll through to see the best of the best.
Vittorio Zunino Celotto1/22Stella Maxwell
Model Stella Maxwell tried a new (literal) twist on the classic updo, fastening her hair into a double-duty high/low bun. She paired the look with silvery-blue shadow and mile-long lashes.
Tony Barson2/22Kristen Stewart
Nobody does the Cannes red carpet quite like Kristen Stewart (case in point: The time she took off her shoes and walked barefoot. Here, she wore her short, blond-tipped hair in tousled waves that imparted a sculptural effect to her 'do.
Mike Marsland3/22Lupita Nyong'o
We are not worthy of Lupita Nyong'o's afro ponytail, which stylist Vernon Francois fastened with a delicate braid. She complemented the 'do with a burgundy eye/lip combo, adding a serious pop to her embellished white gown.
Venturelli4/22Josephine Skriver
Model Josephine Skriver went for color coordination, matching her eye makeup to her ice-blue gown. Her hair was pulled into a low messy bun, with two pieces left out to frame her face.
Stephane Cardinale - Corbis5/22Kristen Stewart
Kristen accessorized her two-toned smoky eye and dramatic curls with a braided rattail. Did we mention that she seriously slays a Cannes red carpet?
YANN COATSALIOU6/22Kendall Jenner
Kendall usually switches up her outfits more than her beauty style at Cannes, but her go-to hair and makeup vibes definitely work for her. Here, her dark hair was curled into loose waves, and her bronze eyeshadow was a perfect complement to the mesh on her dress. She finished the mixed-metals look with an ultra-glossy lip, than proceeded to serve major face on the red carpet.
Pascal Le Segretain7/22Jasmine Tookes
Victoria's Secret model Jasmine Tookes was positively glowing in dewy skin and perfectly placed highlight. Her hair was slicked into an elegant top knot, and her lips were coated in a classic shade of Cannes red.
Venturelli8/22Kristen Stewart
At yet another Cannes event, Kristen slicked her hair to the side, pairing pulled-back hair with major volume at the crown. She finished it off with a bright swipe of red on her lips.
Venturelli9/22Bella Hadid
Everything about this Bella Hadid's look is simply stunning. Her lids, lips, and cheeks are all decorated in varying shades of creamy rose gold to match her blush-colored Dior gown, and her straight hair looks shinier than ever.

George Pimentel10/22Hailey Baldwin
Hailey Baldwin's pink Met Gala 2018 hair doesn't seem to be going anywhere anytime soon. For its second trip down a major red carpet, Hailey pulled it into a messy topknot to show off her grown-out roots in the prettiest way.
Tristan Fewings11/22Elsa Hosk
Elsa Hosk stepped onto the Cannes red carpet looking the epitome of old-school Hollywood glam in a barrel-curled bob and pink pout.
Stephane Cardinale - Corbis12/22Joan Smalls
Those red lips! That slicked-back high pony! Joan Smalls once again proved she can walk a red carpet just as masterfully as she can strut a runway.
Pascal Le Segretain13/22Joan Smalls
Need a little summer glam inspo? Try a brightly-colored cat eye — like Joan Smalls did here, using an electric turquoise liner — to amp up an otherwise neutral look.
Pascal Le Segretain14/22Bella Hadid
Bella! Has! Bangs! (For one night, at least). She rocked one of her classic updos with a glossy red lip in the exact same color as her gown.
George Pimentel15/22Sara Sampaio
Sara Sampaio's Cannes look featured cascading curls and the prettiest coral blush. Her tomato-red lip was so bright, it was practically neon.
Venturelli16/22Kendall Jenner
Kendall gave off serious fairy princess vibes, pairing a tulle gown with a creamy beige lip. While her eye makeup was minimal, we instantly noticed her flawless winged liner, which was accentuated by a swipe of blended-out taupe eyeshadow.
George Pimentel17/22Bella Hadid
Bella ditched her bangs for something slightly more beachy, styling her signature lob into loose waves. She paired her bronzed contour with peachy blush, and a metallic raspberry lip added even more sparkle to the look.
Dominique Charriau18/22Ming Xi
Victoria's Secret model Ming Xi was fresh-faced and glowing, rocking a beige eye with subtle shimmer, and a lightly glossed lip.
Pascal Le Segretain19/22Winnie Harlow
Winnie Harlow's mermaid waves mimicked the geographic pattern of her dress, creating a seriously cool optical illusion. Fluttery lashes and shimmery eyeshadow completed her radiant look.
Stephane Cardinale - Corbis20/22Bella Hadid
Bella paired her sparkly silver gown with matching silver shadow and elegantly slicked-back bun, using plenty of bronzer to accentuate her summery glow.
Anadolu Agency21/22Kristen Stewart
Debuting yet another cool way to rock short hair, Kristen rocked fresh-out-of-the-shower strands, and paired them with the coolest burgundy eyeshadow.
