Two Vietnamese makeup artists share the story of going to Cannes to create makeup looks for beauty pageant contestants.
Quan Nguyen and Pu Le are Vietnamese makeup and hair artists who created trendy makeup concepts worn by international beauty pageant winners at the 2026 Cannes Film Festival.
Behind the dazzling makeup looks presented by global beauty pageant winners on the red carpet at the 2026 Cannes Film Festival were the exceptional sensibility and artistic touch of Vietnamese beauty experts. The glamorous appearances of Miss World 2024 Krystyna Pyszková and Miss Universe 2025 runner-up Olivia Yacé became a powerful moment proving the status of Asian artists in the global beauty market.
Global Red Carpet Beauty Trend Analysis
Red carpet events on the world stage are more than simple fashion showcases. They are places where the most trend-forward beauty techniques of the era come together. At this event, Asian makeup touches met the classic beauty of the West, creating a fresh synergy never seen before.
A Modern Reinterpretation of the Classic Muse Concept
The classic muse concept presented by makeup artist Quan Nguyen is a style that delicately combines the elegance of classic cinema with modern trendiness. This look brings together soft, cool brown smoky eye makeup, a smooth satin glow foundation, and an elegant glossy nude lip in perfect harmony. In particular, the vintage-inspired bob hairstyle further elevated the visual completeness of the look.
Old Hollywood Glam for Miss World
Czech Miss World Krystyna Pyszková showed off her radiant beauty on the red carpet in an ocean-colored dress by designer Le Thanh Hoa. Her smoky eye makeup with taupe tones, dewy glowing skin, and classic updo recreated the splendor of Hollywood’s golden age with a modern touch. This concept highlighted both elegance and sophistication, earning high praise from media around the world.
Krystyna Pyszková expressed deep satisfaction with the refined style created by Quan Nguyen and Pu Le.
“The style they created for me is truly the best. They have never disappointed me, and they always amaze me with creative ideas. They are by far the best team I have ever worked with, so as early as a year ago, I was certain I wanted to walk the Cannes Film Festival red carpet with them.”
This collaboration, built on strong trust, became the driving force behind the completion of the most flawless visual artistry on the red carpet.
The Creative Journey of Global Beauty Experts
The Vietnamese team arrived in Cannes, France two days before the event to carefully review the harmony of makeup, hairstyle, and outfits to achieve the best possible result. The biggest challenge was the limited preparation time, and on the first day the models arrived on-site, they had only two hours to work. Even so, thanks to the artists’ intense focus and professional abilities, a flawless red carpet look was born.
The Process of Collaborating with Global Beauties
On the second day of their schedule in France, Olivia Yacé from Côte d’Ivoire, Miss Universe 2025 runner-up and a Miss Cosmo 2025 judge, visited them for her red carpet makeup. The beauty videos and photos shared by the artists on their personal channels generated an explosive response across global online forums and beauty communities. Their techniques, which maximized the appeal of world-class beauties, captured the attention of countless media outlets and beauty enthusiasts.
The Latest Trends in the Global Makeup Market
Quan Nguyen and Pu Le are veteran professionals who have earned the trust of numerous renowned artists at home and abroad, based on nearly 20 years of experience. Their reputation comes from strict professional ethics, refined aesthetic sense, and sharp insight into global trends. Their work does more than simply follow trends. It presents new standards and continues to deeply inspire the Asian beauty industry.
Pu Le also expressed pride and special feelings about demonstrating his country’s capabilities on the world stage.
“I always cherish the opportunity to make artists look beautiful. The greatest joy is being able to introduce the outstanding talents of Vietnam’s professional makeup artists and hairstylists overseas through our work.”
Beauty exchange beyond borders will continue to be an important key to expanding the reach of global artists.
