Aishwarya Rai Bachchan Cannes 2012: Elie Saab Gown, Makeup Breakdown

Accept it or not, we Indians wait for Aishwarya Rai to walk the red carpet at Cannes 2012. And this time, with all the post pregnancy weight, so many speculations were going around her outfit choices. Many predicted she would stick to Indian designers since if there is anything in the world that can make you look graceful even if you are fat, its Indian 9mm saree. But she proved everybody wrong by opting for an Elie Saab steel blue-grey sheer gown with a train. This outfit fared much better than her previous outfit..and that shows on her face too.

She opted for beach waves, silver clutch and midnight blue nails with the look. What do you think? I yhink the dress does a great job for her body..obviously nothing can hide the fact that she IS over-weight, so no point trying.

Seems like she is a fan of L’Oreal True Match foundation . I would still prefer the Infallible foundation for the long lasting coverage it gives.
On the eyes, she has L’Oreal Infallible Mono eye shadow in 02 Hourglass Beige. On lower lash line, smudge some Infallible eye shadow in 05 Purple Obsession (seems to go well with her gown).
Line your lower lashline with Super Liner 24hr gel liner and the make a winged eye liner on upper lid with Instant Impact Felt Liner.
Curl lashes with Volume Million Lashes mascara (which seems to a cult favourite with everyone at Cannes).
Apply the True Match blush in Rosy Cheeks. And on lips use Glam Shine lipgloss in golden tattoo.
And its done!
