We Found Bella Hadid’s Exact Glossy Lip Combo From the 2026 Cannes Film Festival
The two products you need to get the model’s shimmery, rosy nude lip
Reported by Harper's Bazaar.
Cannes is cinema's biggest stage, but everyone knows the red carpet is really about the beauty moments. This year, Bella Hadid delivered one worth dissecting — a glossy, iridescent pink lip that felt equal parts Old Hollywood and French Riviera, effortless in the way only very deliberate makeup can look.
For the 79th Cannes Film Festival, Hadid wore a gray crystal-embroidered Prada satin dress and cape — and her makeup was clearly built around it. Makeup artist Nadia Tayeh kept the eyes graphic (shimmery silver shadow, tight-lined with sharp black) and let the lip do the talking. The shade? A dusty, iridescent rosy nude that somehow managed to feel both muted and luminous at once.
The Exact Two-Product Formula
According to Harper's Bazaar, Tayeh built the lip using just two Prada Beauty products: the Monochrome Soft Matte Lipstick in Meranti as a blurred, soft-focus base, layered with the Reflection Glossy Liquid Lip Balm in Virtual Pink on top — a cool-pink gloss that caught the light without veering into sticky or overdone territory. To pull the whole look together, Tayeh matched Hadid's cheeks to her lips with Prada Beauty Touch Blush in Dahlia, then dusted on Light Glowing Powder in Champagne for a barely-there shimmer finish.
The combination works because it plays two textures against each other — the matte base creates depth and definition, while the gloss brings dimension without obliterating the color underneath. It's the same principle behind blurred lip liner looks taking over TikTok right now, just executed at a significantly higher budget. And honestly? Hadid has a history of originating the kind of lip moment that gets screenshot-saved and referenced for seasons.
The real takeaway here isn't brand loyalty — it's the layering logic: a cool-toned matte anchoring a high-shine gloss is the formula behind every "your lips but better" look worth stealing this summer.
