How Barbara Palvin Got Her ‘Lit From Within’ Glam for Her Pregnancy Reveal at Cannes

Henney used some longtime fave products. Skin was cleansed with Bioderma, then she massaged Rhode Glazing Milk into the skin and Augustinus Bader cream. La Mer was the eye cream used under the eyes for hydration. Saie Super Glow Gel in Warm Glow dialed up her illuminated skin, and the base foundation was Armani Luminous Silk. Concealer was Nars Creamy Concealer and helped with brightening. For chiseling cheekbones and accentuating the outer eye shape, Henney painted on some Makeup By Mario cream bronzer and used the Westman Atelier Contour Stick.

For Palvin Sprouse’s strong, feathery brows, she used the Anastasia Beverly Hills Archbrow Pencil and Maybelline Eyebrow Gel. Lashes were curled and cool Mac Cosmetics cream eyeshadows were pressed onto the lid and crease, with Makeup By Mario shades layered on top. Adding lashes to pull out the eye shape, some delicate layers of mascara were added and an Inglot liner exaggerated that feline flick.

Blush and bronzer was classic and warming, layering Charlotte Tilbury and YSL bronzers with a YSL blush. A Chanel Baume Essentiel helped with sculpting.

Next, lips were a combo of Mac’s Cool Spice and Patrick Ta’s Shy. For body hydration and glow, Josie Maran body butter mixed with Mac’s Strobe Cream and Patrick Ta’s Major Glow balm for extra shine on the tops of cheeks and collar bones. Charlotte Tilbury and Huda Beauty powders set everything. Henney used her trademark beauty makeup brushes to apply the products and blend everything.

Leaning into the model’s pregnancy radiance, Henney really wanted to focus on that “lit from within glow and flush that looked natural and ethereal.” “Channeling ‘mother to be’. It was such a special glam I’ll remember forever,” she says.

Hair, meanwhile, was crafted by Owen Gould. “Barbara has always had this incredible ability to make glamour feel effortless, which is honestly my favorite kind of beauty,” he shares with Vogue. “Over the past 12 years working together, I think we’ve refined her look into something that feels very modern bombshell. Polished but not overdone. I always try to keep a softness somewhere, whether it’s movement around the face [or] touchable texture. Her signature look is really healthy, luxurious hair. Even when we go sleek.”
