Bollywood makeup artists share quick tips for Cannes-inspired bridal looks
From bright red sindoor with dewy make-up, to matte make-up that appeared luminous, the 2025 Cannes red carpet was full of beauty experiments. Some of these elevated neutral make-up looks were ready-made for summer brides as well as bridesmaids-to-be. So, we asked celebrity makeup artists of Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Janhvi Kapoor to share tips on how one can adapt their Cannes looks for the wedding day. Make a loud statement One of the most viral looks of the Cannes film festival was of Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in a Manish Malhotra sari, with bright red sindoor in her hair, and matching ruby jewellery. 'Sindoor was part of the look right when we decided to do sari on the red carpet. The challenge was to enhance Aishwarya's features while respecting her personal style and the cultural nuances she embodies," says Kavye Sharma, who was behind her Cannes look. Sharma, who also works with stars including Kriti Sanon and Sara Ali Khan, says that her look is perfect for brides who wish to have a clean face and yet have a statement look. His tip for brides seeking to emulate Bachchan's Cannes 2025 makeup look: Always start with skin prep. Begin with a hydrating moisturizer to create a smooth base. You will need your makeup to last long, so choose a long-wear foundation that offers full coverage and a matte finish. Use a full-coverage concealer to brighten the under-eye area and just to conceal blemishes. Be careful with brows, fill in with a powder that matches your natural hair colour, brushing them into place. For eyes, apply a neutral base eyeshadow, followed by a darker shade in the crease, this helps define yet keep things subtle. Use a shimmering gold or bronze on the lids for a pop of colour that is not in your face. Create a winged-eyeliner look and apply multiple coats of mascara for voluminous lashes. Again, choose a liner shape and lash volume as per your eye shape, this really helps open the eyes. Also read: Can at-home LED masks, microcurrent devices really transform your skin? Blush should be soft and natural, and highlighter just on the high points of the face, and not blinding. Line your lips with a brick colour lipliner, and choose a lipstick in a rust colour, or A soft sunset orange lipstick that complements your skin tone. If you love a brighter lip, go for it. Finish with a setting spray to ensure the makeup lasts throughout the day. 'Hair for brides should be more curly or in an updo. We kept it simple because it was an event, but for brides, it should be more done up and snatched at the back," says Sharma. The soft-girl look Actor Janhvi Kapoor had many looks for her first outing at Cannes this year. With subtle differences in eye glam, Kapoor moulded her signature fluttery makeup look for traditional as well as contemporary outfits. Makeup artist Savleen Manchanda, who glammed Kapoor for Cannes, says the idea was to let the makeup complement the outfit she was wearing but not to overpower it. Manchanda, who works with stars including Kareena Kapoor Khan, says, 'I hate when one makeup becomes the benchmark, as every bride is different and so the makeup should be tailor made for you and not just copied from a star. Great bridal makeup is always a personalised experience." Having said that, she added, 'I love soft girl era makeup which just accentuates your beauty subtly, there's nothing hectic, and you look fresh, and your skin, luxurious." While breaking down Janhvi's looks, Manchanda says she played with the liner intensity for different day and night appearances. 'Whether you choose to add more glam or keep it fresh like Janhvi, depends upon your outfit, your style and the scale of the event. Keep it fresh, or add a little colour on lips, or keep it nude, and do a little drama on eyes—choose what your personality calls for." Dhara Vora Sabhnani is a Mumbai-based writer.

First Look: Janhvi Kapoor Makes her Cannes Film Festival Debut
Janhvi is the 28-year-old daughter of Bollywood producer Boney Kapoor and late actress Sridevi. Her sister Khushi Kapoor is also an actress, as is her cousin, Sonam Kapoor. She has appeared in over a dozen films since making her acting debut in 2018, and has also starred on runways for labels like Rahul Mishra, Amit Aggarwal and Kalki at Lakme Fashion Week in India. For her first-ever red carpet look at Cannes, she placed her trust in Tahiliani and her cousin – stylist Rhea Kapoor – to conceptualise the outfit. 'I think she [Rhea] really wanted to bring out a side of me that hasn't been explored much, and focus more on my face and on how she sees me,' Janhvi explains. Making the dress: Tarun Tahiliani Making the dress: Tarun Tahiliani For both of the Kapoors, it was important that Janhvi wear an Indian designer for her first Cannes appearance. 'I really think it's their time to shine. I mean, I've known this for a really long time,' says the actress. 'A lot of the textiles that are put on these international garments, on these international red carpets, on these huge Western actors or huge global stars from all around the world have been textiles that were manufactured and created in India by Indian and craftsmen. So I think it is high time that's put on a global stage and our designers are given the kind of credit that they deserve," she adds, pointing out that the Met Gala last month saw a great turnout of Indian designers, from Sabyasachi to Gaurav Gupta and Prabal Gurung. 'I think I look the best and I feel my most comfortable in Indian clothes. And if I'm being put on a global stage like this, I'd like to feel my most comfortable and confident. So it was honestly a very organic decision for me.' 'Specifically for the film that I've come here with, it was important for me to stay in touch with my roots,' continues Janhvi, who is in Cannes for the premiere of her film, Homebound, directed by Neeraj Ghaywan. Also starring Ishaan Khatter and Vishal Jethwa, it tells the story of two friends from a village in North India who find their friendship impacted when they pursue jobs as police officers. Janhvi says that although the plot is rooted in India, it has global relevance. 'It's a story that I think is the need of the hour. It invites people to introspect at being perpetrators, or at the receiving end of any sort of social exclusion, which I think is a human tragedy that's occurring all around the world in different countries," she shares. "It's an observational piece on different sorts of social hierarchies, and a study of human nature.' This content can also be viewed on the site it originates from. Keeping these themes in mind, she gave Rhea a brief about the film, and expressed the kind of energy she wanted to embody, in terms of being taken 'a little more seriously' for her Cannes debut. And while Janhvi acknowledges that fashion is a massive aspect of the festival, she points out that the event is ultimately about the movies being honoured. 'I really wanted the attention to stay on the fact that we're here representing a film,' she says. 'It's a huge opportunity to even be in the vicinity of so many artists that I admire and look up to, and the fact that our movie is in competition is nerve-wracking, but very exciting. I'm thrilled, and constantly pinching myself.'
