The only thing fresher than ’s olive green top and maxi skirt straight off : her skin. Set to star in a campaign for the French house, the on-the-rise actress is already giving good face. The man behind her radiant complexion, Nick Barose, said the key is to prep with a mask that instantly hydrates but doesn’t leave the surface greasy. His go-to: Sisley Express Flower Gel. “I let it absorb, and blot away any excess,” he explained. In lieu of killing Vikander’s natural glow with foundation, the pro applied a tinted moisturizer (Dior Hydra Life BB Creme) in a shade deeper than Vikander’s skin tone and blended with a damp Beautyblender sponge for a sheer finish. He topped off her T-zone with a touch of translucent powder (NARS Light Reflecting Pressed Setting Powder) to erase any unwanted shine. Dior’s Diorskin Nude Tan compact in Coral Sunset and Rouge Dior Baume in Spring played up her sun-kissed coloring (likely earned after sitting front-row in Palm Springs). For subtle-but-still-glamorous eyes, the face painter traced along her top lashes with black liner and layered it with a gray shadow from Dior’s Eye Reviver palette. “It’s the perfect smoke for spring,” he said. “It’s dramatic but still light and airy.” And with a supposed ban on flat footwear at the festival (and subsequently, the desert boots originally worn with the look on the catwalk), we like that starlets are still free to keep it simple in terms of maquillage.
