Bold Red Lipstick for the Beach? Kendall Jenner Says Yes


As the glamour factor climbs ever higher at the Cannes film festival this week, international It-girls are picking up a few French beauty idiosynchrises along the way.


 Transforming from California cool girl to local stunner today was none other than Kendall Jenner, who splashed around the seaside sporting a plunging black one-piece bathing suit and Parisian-approved poppy red lip. While a trip to the beach may not seem like the obvious destination for a makeup bag and high maintenance touch ups, a swipe of crimson lipstick is a head turning seaside statement. 


Paired with the model’s mile long legs and fresh-from-the-sea slicked wet bun, Jenner’s 2-minute colorful swipe of pigment reads like the ultimate stamp of summer confidence.

The social share saw Jenner perched on a scenic rooftop deck, her raven lengths wound in a crown of pink rollers—the topper executed by hairstylist Jen Atkin—a simple set of black lingerie and a party-ready makeup look serving as her teatime ensemble. 


Hours later, the benefits of her elevated prep time were in full effect, the super's glossy chop offering a billowing frame to a bronze-brushed complexion, onyx-edged eyes, and a petal pink lip. And though her party-ready look was certainly a standout, with many equating her sheer dress with a free-the-nipple-friendly frock, the languid nature of Jenner's insouciant, preparatory pose maintained a (decidedly leggy) appeal all its own. It seems that sometimes, the best beauty moments happen while you're waiting for night to fall.
