To get the face contouring and jawline right, simply draw a number ‘3’ around the eyes and cheeks. Then dust on the powder using a contouring brush and carefully blend in the blush…reports Asian Lite News
The Cannes red carpet always sets the pace for the upcoming festive season when it comes to beauty and fashion. Makeup artist Divya Behl shared her secret tips for you to try out:
* Double cleanse your face and put on your vitamins first such as vitamin C, niacinamide serum or hyaluronic serum for plumper skin.
* A good hydrating moisturiser that’s not too oily is key. Moisturised skin will allow for the makeup to grip and last longer.
* Before applying powder or foundation, wipe the skin with a rose-based skin tonic. Wrap an ice cube in a clean cloth and wipe the skin with it. This helps to close the pores.
* Always apply light layers onto your skin and don’t rush it. Allow products to settle into the skin before adding more on top. And finger tips can help blend products, especially cream based, into the skin for a flawless finish.
* Highlighting any part of the face makes it look bigger, brighter and better. For bigger looking eyes highlight them. Brush a little at your brow bone, the inner corners of the eyes and the centre of the lids. All this highlighting will give the eyes a dazzling and bigger look.
* To get the face contouring and jawline right, simply draw a number ‘3’ around the eyes and cheeks. Then dust on the powder using a contouring brush and carefully blend in the blush.
* This is an old trick, but it’s a sure-shot one. To make lipstick last through the day, just put it on the lips then place a tissue across the lips. Sprinkle some powder to make the colour set. For quick lip gloss, take any old broken eyeshadow pieces that are left. Press them into a powder, squeeze a little petroleum jelly into it and voila!
* For colours in lipstick, choose from light pink and mauve, which are “icy” colours and look cool. It may be a good idea to stick to lip gloss during the day. For the night, you can use brighter colours.
* Add any face oil to your lips for a fuller pout.
* Powder-based makeup when layered over cream makeup will last hours longer than just applied alone. Cream-based products, if applied alone, will sweat off the fastest. The layering of powder over cream helps to seal both products in place and create an unmatched lasting power.
* Finish with a setting spray, sealing your look is the most vital and effective step to keep summer makeup woes at bay. While it adds a protective layer to your makeup, it also helps in setting the base to keep you worry-free throughout the day.
* Stash in some blotting paper, one of the cleverest tricks can sometimes fall flat on your face and if you are someone who suffers from excessive facial sweating, keeping a blotting paper in your purse is a great way to keep extra moisture and sweat at bay. Applying waterproof products is essential if you’re using blotting paper.

Elba and Swinton shared a warm hug during the post-screening standing ovation, which had the Grand Palais audience swooning and whistling.

The film starring Tilda Swinton and Idris Elba, earned a six-minute standing ovation after its world premiere at Cannes’ Palais theater, reports ‘Variety’.
A love letter to storytelling and its tropes and parables passed down through history, ‘Three Thousand Years’ follows a solitary academic (Swinton) and a burdened genie (Elba) she finds in a bottle in the markets of Istanbul.
His history unfolds in the stories of those who had found him before.
While his memories were relayed in dazzling ancient locations with heavy special effects, half of the film is spent in a hotel room (the same that Agatha Christie lived in when she wrote ‘Murder on the Orient Express’, a bellhop tells Swinton).
The Cannes crowd enjoyed Swinton and Elba hanging out in bathrobes, casually bickering over the ethics of wish making, until the movie eventually gives way to a bittersweet love story.

Miller, in his trademark coke bottle glasses, looked on with pride.
“This is the first time I’ve seen the film with an audience, and it’s very moving,” Miller told the crowd.
“I’m very, very grateful.”
The film is predominantly a two-hander between Swinton and Ilba, although supporting roles are played by the likes of Aamito Lagum, Burcu Galgedar and Matteo Bocelli.
Miller co-wrote the movie with Augusta Gore, based on ‘The Djinn in the Nightingale’s Eye’, a collection of short stories published by author A.S. Byatt.
Miller reunited several members of his ‘Mad Max: Fury Road’ crafts team for the new movie, including editor Margaret Sixel, cinematographer John Seale and composer Tom Holkenborg.
