Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is no stranger to the Cannes Film Festival. The actor first graced the red carpet in 2022, in a golden Neetu Lulla Sari for the screening of her iconic film, “Devdas.” Since then, The Miss World 1994 has consistently turned heads with her sartorial choices, including this year's eye-catching blue and silver gown designed by Falguni and Shane Peacock.

For her makeup, the actor chose to accentuate her eyes with an electric blue smoky look that complemented her ensemble. Mascara-laden lashes and softly filled-in brows further deepened her gaze. Petal-pink blush over a clean matte base, giving her face dimension and a radiant finish. She tied the look together with a pink nude lip. As for her hair, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan went with face-framing beach waves that cascaded freely over her shoulders. The veteran actor accessorised with sparkling diamond danglers, stacked diamond rings and a diamond-encrusted cuff.

Here's how you can get the look too.

  1. Prep your skin well with a moisturiser so the makeup does not crease.
  2. Next, go in with a matte foundation, and blend it in with a wet sponge. Set this with an illumination powder,
  3. For the eyes, use a sheer primer before you begin. Then, set the base of the lids with nude eyeshadow. Work silver into the corners and blend upwards toward the brown bone. Deposit electric blue eyeshadow along the crease of your lids and blend it outwards to create a smoked-out wing.
  4. Put on faux lashes and layer them with mascara for a wide-awake look.
  5. For the brows, brush them up and fill them in with a medium brown brow powder to accentuate the facial features.
  6. Blend in a subtle pink blush into the apples of the cheeks, sweeping them towards the temple for a lifted look. You can add in highlighter along the cheekbone for that extra glow too.
  7. Lastly, tie it all together with a satin-finish pink nude lipstick.
