Daisy Edgar-Jones just wore this $40 Australian-made fake tan on the red carpet in Cannes
The actress, known for her roles in Normal People, Twisters, and On Swift Horses, wasn't glowing by chance; she was tanned to perfection by celebrity tanner James Harknett using Australian-made, certified organic Three Warriors self-tan.
Yep, this local legend of a beauty brand helped Daisy look like she'd just returned from a week on the Amalfi Coast, not stepped off a plane and into the glare of international flashbulbs.
So, how can you get Daisy's lit-from-within bronze without a glam squad?
James Harknett, aka the man behind the glow, spilled his red carpet tanning secrets, and it starts with prep.
'Daisy's prep is always on point,' James says.
'She always follows my tips to a T. A cool rinse, exfoliation, and making sure the skin is clean and oil-free. She uses the Three Warriors Tasmanian Sand Scrub, which creates the perfect canvas.'
Step 1: Start with a smooth canvas:
Exfoliating Tasmanian Sand Scrub, $29.95 at Adore Beauty
This gentle, natural scrub is packed with real Tasmanian sand (no microplastics here) and works to buff away dead skin cells while hydrating with Aloe Vera and Coconut Oil.
It's ideal for removing any patchy remnants of last week's tan and smoothing the skin pre-application.
Step 2: Go for glow, not orange:
Self Tan Mousse, $38.95 at Adore Beauty
Described as ' nothing too strong ' by James, this lightweight mousse builds a natural-looking tan with warm bronze tones that suit fair to medium skin beautifully.
It smells like vanilla and lime (not the usual biscuit), dries quickly, and fades like a dream.
'I use fine layering to build colour and even contour,' James shares. 'The olive and violet tones in Three Warriors neutralise orange, which is key.'
Step 3: Don't skip the aftercare:
James swears by cool showers, no oily body products, and gentle moisturisers to make your glow last. Avoid harsh face products too; anything with AHAs will strip your tan fast.
His favourite trick to maintain the glow? Three Warriors' Hydrabronze Tanning Drops added to your night cream.
'The perfect colour and hydration boost,' he says.
From Hobart to Hollywood
Three Warriors founder Corbin Halliday says seeing his brand go from small-batch beginnings in Tasmania to the Cannes Film Festival is still surreal.
'I never dreamed it would end up on the red carpet with A-list celebrities,' he said. 'Seeing it grow from Hobart to Hollywood is honestly surreal.'

‘Strong hook up culture:' American tourist's Tiktok on Australian dating scene divides social media
A American man has divided Australians with his summation of Australia's dating scene, saying there is a "strong hook up culture" and people aren't interested in relationships. Drew Mork, who has been travelling around Australia since the start of the year, shared the things Australian women have told him about dating Aussie men - and why they're over it. "I haven't met a single Aussie girl that has said anything positive about Australian men," he said. 'They say that Aussie guys are 'feminine', 'passive' and 'don't want to pay for things' … I can't speak to that. I'm just repeating what they've said." "One time, a girl just came up to me here and we started chatting. In the first 20 seconds of our conversation, she's like, 'Are you keen for some company tonight at your place?'." "It's just not for me. I enjoy authentic connection. "And I'm not putting them down. I think Australian women are stunning. But it's just not how I operate at all." Comments on his videos have been filled with many Australian men sharing they're unimpressed with the dating game too. 'As an Aussie man… Aussie girls aren't wife material' one said. 'Aussie women seem to be the hardest to settle in the world, absolute nightmare," said another. But Australian women weren't happy either. 'Australian men are worse,' one wrote Another pointed to the domestic violence situation in Australia, with the comment simply reading 'we have a DV epidemic, its dangerous out here.' However, speaking to the Daily Mail, Drew said he was truly shocked by the comments that he had seen on his TikTok video. ''I'll choose my words carefully here, but they were just basically saying that Aussie girls are loud-mouthed, masculine, like to cuss a lot, drink a lot, and that they get around,' he said. 'It was just a lot of, like, hateful comments. I wasn't expecting that from the Aussie guys.' He also said that he was not putting down Australian women. Drew said however that he was hopeful about finding love in Australia. 'I would love an Aussie wife," Drew said. "I think Australian women are stunning. "But I've just found so far that settling down doesn't seem to be a priority for some of them."

A darkly funny look at artists – their egos, failures and bad behaviour
SHORT STORIES U Want it DarkerMurray Middleton Picador, $34.99 In U Want it Darker, Australian writer Murray Middleton returns to the short story form that composed his Vogel-winning debut, When There's Nowhere Else to Run. One of the stories follows two comedians — one working a boring shift at the electoral commission, the other roaming through Berlin — as they seek to translate their mundane lives into stand-up routines. In these stories, contemporary artists experience moments of crisis in a world hostile or indifferent towards their creative endeavours. Artists, we all know, are a moody gang, prone to flights of self-loathing and hyperbolic despair. As a result, these stories, by virtue of their subjects, are reflective, wistful, despondent. Last year, Middleton published No Church in the Wild, a novel about disaffected teens who lived in an inner-west Melbourne housing commission estate. The novel, polyphonic and vast in scope, was an example of empathetic social realism. It affixed its characters to the prejudices of education and law-enforcement systems stacked against them, portraying institutionalised racism, migrant experiences, and the soft bigotry of low expectations. The weighty and expansive reach of No Church in the Wild is a counterpoint to the intimate and cloistered portraits in U Want it Darker. We encounter artists – documentary filmmakers, musicians, actors, playwrights, photographers, writers – in varying states of antipathy and creative frustration. They are often found at a crossroads, staring back at some early period of creative productivity and looking upon their conventional existence as a type of failure or fatal compromise. The dramatic situations are characterised by a collision of two irreconcilable desires: the impulse to create art with the spiritual toll and untenable economic realities. These are the lands of the crestfallen bohemian, where dreams of artistic success cast long shadows over everyday living. In Between the Wars, for example, a visual artist yearns for the naive enthusiasm that drove her formative years in a shared art studio, all the while looking upon her expensive apartment and ordinary job in despair. The story in U Want it Darker documents an older actor's inflamed, almost hysterical sense of triumph for a two-minute appearance in an indie film. There's the influence of grunge lit upon Middleton's stories. Writers of this genre presented squalor and marginalised ways of being in the dirty, countercultural corners of urban worlds. Here, we inhabit dim lit dive bars, wander alcohol-drenched streets at night, fall into chemical romances with strangers. The passage in U Want it Darker in which our ageing actor spends many nights with a younger girl engaging in sex acts that involve performing different characters, reads like a homage to this era of late 20th-century realism. The tortured artist stereotype is energised by formal inventions. In House With White Fence, the art of pizza making, and the unhinged man behind it, is judged by a chorus of online reviewers. Likewise, the majority of Where We Come to Fall Apart is narrated as a text message exchange (typos included) between a concerned sister and her brother, whose wife has prematurely given birth. The exchange grows darker as the brother, a playwright, begins to conceptualise his next dramatic spectacle, drawing from the real-life struggle.
