Bella Hadid looked every bit the supermodel at the 69th Annual Cannes Film Festival Opening Night Gala in a showstopping embellished gown from Roberto Cavalli by Peter Dundas. To let the piece play centerstage, she went for an understated face, which let her natural beauty shine through. Patrick Ta did her makeup for the night—a bit of contouring, amazing skin, nude lips, and soft smoky eyes were on the menu. Here are the steps:

1. Patrick prepped Bella’s skin with a layer of Charlotte Tilbury’s Magic Cream ($101) to give her complexion a luminous glow, as well as to create a smooth, flawless base.
2. Next, he lightly applied Light Wonder Foundation ($46) to ensure Bella’s complexion looked clean and bright. He concealed any imperfections with The Retoucher ($36).

3. Patrick lightly contoured Bella’s cheekbones using Filmstar Bronze and Glow ($71)—a favorite for many of Charlotte Tilbury’s clients. Of the product, Patrick said, “This photographs amazingly and Bella loves a softly contoured look.”
4. Patrick finished the glow with Cheek to Chic Blusher in First Love ($43) on the apples of Bella’s cheeks and followed with a light dusting of Airbrush Flawless Finish ($45) to ensure long wear.

5. Bella wanted her eyes to look just as clean and bright as her complexion. To achieve that, Patrick used The Luxury Palette in The Sophisticate ($52) layered with The Luxury Palette in The Dolce Vita ($52). Next, using the rich chocolate brown shade from The Luxury Palette in Dolce Vita, Patrick used an angled brush to draw a thin wing starting half way on the eyelid and smudged outwards for a smoky eye effect.
6. Patrick curled Bella’s lashes using Life Changing Lashes ($26) and applied two coats of Charlotte’s Legendary Lashes Mascara ($32).
