Andie MacDowell Updo From Cannes Film Festival 2023

Andie Macdowell looks absolutely radiant at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival. Her grey locks matched beautifully with her brown dress. Even though this is a formal updo, Andie has placed her hair in a messy bun, adding texture and some fun to the overall look. The bun has been placed closer to the bottom of her head, which accentuates her facial features and allows her face to be prominent in the look. To add some volume to this look, before Andie placed her hair in the bun, she curled her hair which gives off the illusion that her hair is thicker than it actually is. This style is excellent for all ages as it helps to keep your skin looking younger and keeps your hair out of your face. The final feature of this hairstyle is the side-parted bangs which allow her bangs to fall over her forehead area and add another twist to this look.

When it comes to your makeup application, you can follow Andie's style tip with the white liner on the inside of your eye. This will make your eyes appear larger. Add false lashes to make your eyes more prominent, and finish off with a pastel pink or nude lipstick.

Styling Steps

1. Part to the Left

Using the corner of your comb and standing in front of a mirror find the middle of your left eye and then drag the comb straight up slowly until you reach your hairline and then continue back in a straight manner to achieve an even left part. A side part is great for longer face shapes because it creates the illusion of width.

2. Curl Mid-lengths and Ends with a Curling Iron

Take a small section of hair and place the ends at the base of your curling iron barrel and then wrap the hair up around the barrel until you reach your mid-lengths. Hold the hair for 5 to 10 seconds and then release the hair by unwinding the strands backwards.

3. Apply Hairspray

To finish, apply a minimal amount of hairspray from an arms length distance to the top, sides and back. Take care not to use too much or you will end up with a white, flaky residue which looks like dandruff.
