Cannes Film Festival got underway last week. So far these have been among our favourite looks. Red lips or deep lip colours seem to be a bit of a theme seen on Cheryl Cole, Diane Kruger, Salma Hayek, and Rachel McAdams. Karolina Kurkova’s smokey eyeliner and nude lip was very nice, along with barely there eyebrows, and pulled back hair. Cheryl Cole is wearing tons of makeup! Which I’m not entirely against, with the exception of the blush which I think is way too heavy.

Best over all look goes to Rachel McAdams. Her wide leg high waisted trousers, and gold bustier is very on trend, and a refreshing red carpet look. Her hair is simple and not overdone, and the red lip against her fair skin is lovely.

The Academy Awards-the biggest night in Hollywood. Oscar winner Sandra Bullock looked quite beautiful wearing red lips, as did Charlize Theron. I also quite liked Zoe Saldana’s overall look. Her dress was very dramatic which worked well with her smoky eyes. What I like about Diane Kruger is that she always switches up her make up look. Last night she wore neutral eye make up with cool pink lips which nicely enhances her features. With some debate as to who had the best dress (For me Miley Cyrus and for Lisa Rachel McAdams) we both agreed Demi Moore looked lovely in Atelier Versace.

Before the end of the year arrives a few big movies will hit the theatres just in time for the 2010 awards season. (Golden Globe nominations were this morning) Over the past week premieres and promotion have begun, where we’ve seen standard red carpet looks that work every time. Rachel McAdams and Gwen Stefani at the premiere of Sherlock Holmes, show off two different shades of red. Adding further evidence to the fact that, there is a red lipstick that works for everyone. Penelope Cruz at the Nine premiere, and Zoe Saldana at Avatar, left their hair down, and focused on dark smoky eyes and neutral and matte lips.
