Cheryl Cole didn’t let the rain dampen her appearance on the red carpet for the ‘Amour’ premiere during Cannes Film Festival where she wore a figure-hugging Stéphane Rolland Couture gown with red ostrich feathers and David Morris jewels.

L’Oreal, who have been the official makeup artist at Cannes for the past 15 years, are very proud to have Cheryl as spokeswoman:

“Cheryl is a glamorous, stylish and talented young woman whose warmth and charm has captivated the nation and helped to establish her as an inspiration.”

The singer opted for smoky chocolate/black eyes, lashings of black mascara and a nude/grapefruit glossy lip combination for her perfect red-carpet appearance.

As the saying goes, ‘If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em’, and the latest beauty trend in Hollywood takes its inspiration from the bushy adolescent eyebrow.

At the Gucci and Vanity Fair dinner party at the Hotel du Cap, Naomi Watts, Caroline Casiraghi, Li BingBing, Salma Hayek and Jennifer Connelly all sported fuller Eighties-style brows.

Eyebrow guru Kristie Streicher, whose clients includes Julia Roberts, Rachel Weisz and Molly Sims, says: “Fuller eyebrows are more youthful and really frame the face.”

Here are her tips for getting back the brows of your youth:

* Cheat. Grow overplucked brows back faster by applying an enhancing gel every night. RevitaBrow by Revitalash and Talika Eyebrow Lipocils will kick-start regrowth.

* Follow your own natural brow line. Everyone’s bone structure and brows are different. If you’re not sure where your eyebrows should be, run your finger along your eyebrow bone. That’s exactly where the line of your eyebrow should be.

* Draw an invisible line from the corner of your nose straight up towards your forehead to indicate where the eyebrows should start.

* Your brow’s arch should fall just outside the pupil and go all the way across the brow bone, feathering the ends outward to give the eye a lift.

* Use a good pencil, powder, or tinted brow gel to fill in sparse areas. By filling in the growing or thin areas, the eyebrow will appear more defined and complete while also making the sparse hairs underneath less noticeable. Be sure to use a pencil, powder, or gel that’s a shade or two lighter than your hair colour since it will look darker once applied. Powder works better on oily skin while pencil is usually better for more mature or drier skin.

Charlize Theron has been hitting the red carpet hard this month on an international tour promoting her new film ‘Snow White and the Huntsman’. And, as always, she has been accompanied by her make-up artist, international beauty expert to Dior, Shane Paish.

‘There are two looks that I tend to lean towards when it comes to Charlize,’ says Paish. ‘One is the dark, smoky eye and pale lip (she looks amazing in this!) and the other is a softer, more bronzy look.’

Either way he always sticks to the basics: defined brows with contoured eyes and highlighted cheekbones.

To create a Charlize-style smoky eye, Paish first uses a flesh-coloured eyeliner on the inside of the lid to open the eye and blend into the skin tone, killing any pink or redness the inner lid may have.

Then he lines the upper and lower lash line with waterproof liner and coats the lashes with tons of Diorshow mascara.

Here are some of his favourite products he uses to create Charlize’s looks:

Skin: DiorSkin Nude Natural Glow Crème-Gel Makeup and Diorskin Airflash Spray Foundation.

Eyes: Dior Crayon Eyeliner – Waterproof and Diorshow Extase Mascara.

Lips: Rouge Dior Lipcolor in Tulip Pink #448 and Dior Addict Ultra-Gloss in Beige Tweed #227.

Cheeks: Diorblush in Pink in Love #889
and Diorskin Poudre Shimmer Ultra Shimmering All Over Face Powder in Amber diamond.

Before stepping onto the red carpet wearing a stunning Stephane Rolland Couture gown during Cannes Film Festival yesterday evening, Cheryl Cole filmed a short video sharing her favourite L’Oreal beauty products.

They included L’Oreal’s False Lash Telescopic mascara, Elnett hairspray, L’Oreal Perfect Slim eyeliner and L’Oreal’s Glamshine.

Proving that Cannes brings out the best in her style wise, the singer wore a Proenza Schouler Spring 2012 dress.

Her vibrant panelled dress artfully spliced together with contrasting zebra-print and neon-yellow may have a touch of déjà vu about it.

That’s because Kate Bosworth wore a two-piece look from this collection with the same colour palette last year.

Wearing a striking hot-pink lip colour with her hair teased up into a ponytail, Cheryl completed her look with David Morris jewels.

Cheryl will be on the red carpet again on Tuesday as she will be attending the ‘What To Expect When You’re Expecting’ London premiere, which she briefly stars in.

You can buy Cheryl’s Proenza Schouler dress from Net-A-Porter.com

For the second year in a row Chinese actress Fan BingBing rocked a bold, matte, nearly neon,orange lip at Cannes Film Festival.

Orange is her favourite colour and this year, with the help of L’Oréal’s Official Cannes Makeup Artists Karim Rahman and Billy B, Fan chose L’Oréal’s Color Riche Orange (303) to play off of her embroidered Christopher Bu strapless gown.

Fan is not alone in her penchant for orange.

MAC’s Morange is currently the number 1 bestselling lipstick in China (thanks to Fan Bingbing), the orange lip featured in JCrew’s catalogue was such a hit they developed a signature hue with Poppy King last year, and even Bobbi Brow, the queen of the nude lip, has launched a collection called Neons and Nudes of which Atomic Orange is a bestseller.

The tangerine lip is definitely shaping up to be a younger, more edgy take on the red lip and was prevalent on the spring runways with designers Jason Wu, Erin Fetherston, Thakoon and Nanette Lapore all showing bold neon shades.
