See Camila Mendes and Lili Reinhart Get Glam for the Venice Film Festival (Exclusive)
The stars, who are part of Armani beauty’s Gen A Collective, attended the 'Babygirl' premiere on Aug. 30
Camila Mendes and Lili Reinhart made a glam entrance at the 81st Venice Film Festival.
The actresses, both part of Armani beauty’s Gen A Collective, stepped out in style at the Aug. 30 premiere of their film Babygirl wearing Armani Privé gowns and with “luminous” and “dewy” makeup looks courtesy of their pros Carolina Gonzalez (for Mendes) and Francesca Brazzo (for Reinhart).
The dazzling duo were joined by other Collective members Chris Briney, Isabela Merced and Chase Stokes. The fivesome arrived — by boat — to the festivities, and as one would expect with this crew, it was picture-perfect.
And that wasn’t the only photo-worthy moment. The former Riverdale costars and the rest of the Gen A Collective also attended Armani beauty’s ultra-exclusive Passione Party at the Arsenale de Venezia on Aug. 31. (The makeup brand is celebrating its seventh year being the official provider of makeup services to the festival’s guests.)
As the festival winds down, PEOPLE caught up with Mendes and Reinhart’s makeup artists for an inside look at their glam night out.

Mendes’ makeup artist Gonzalez says that this festival is among her favorites. "Elegance is in the air! The carpet is exquisite!"
When the pro laid her eyes on the star’s dress, she “immediately” thought enchanted mermaid. "The color, and how the bead work glistened was so ethereal. I wanted to play into that so I decided to keep the skin very luminous, bronzed, blushed and glassy," she shared
To create the look, Gonzales applied Armani beauty’s Luminous Silk Foundation “with a full blush brush to give it a buffed finish.”
“I then began to apply with a blush brush, the Luminous Silk Glow Liquid Bronzer to the points where one would typically get a sunburn that transitions into a tan; across the forehead, tops of the cheekbones, bridge of nose and chin.”
Gonzalez then layered the Cheek Tint 62 along the cheekbones and blended out toward the temples.
Lastly, she says, "I tapped on Lip Power 102 and finished with Prisma Glass in 01 for a glass finish off the lips.”

Reinhart’s makeup artist Brazzo describes the star's look as “timeless, cinematic glamor” with a focus, she says, on “sultry soft eyes with dewy skin and flushed cheeks to balance out the depth of this stunning dark, navy velvet dress.”
Brazzo took inspiration from iconic '50s movie stars, “but with a modern and fresh feel to match with the sweetheart neckline of the gown.”
The pro applied Armani beauty’s Eye Tint Liquid Eyeshadow in 8S and 10S.
“I put a small amount of 8S on the back of my hand and worked into a small blending brush so that I have better control of the amount of color I applied," she says. "Then I buffed it onto the outer corners of the lids, sweeping outwards to create an elongated winged eye shape. I then applied 10S with my fingers, patting the product over the rest of the lid until I achieved the desired intensity.”
“The soft shimmers accentuated her blue eyes and created the main focus of this makeup look,” Brazzo explains.
The blush was also key, says Brazzo. “I used the Luminous Silk Cheek Tint in 62 to create a healthy, rosy flush glow that complements her sultry eyes.”
To apply it, Brazzo says, “I asked Lili to smile, and then applied two dots with the applicator to the apples of her cheeks and used a small fluffy brush in circular motions until it was blended out and a soft flushed cheek was created.”

“Venice film festival is like no other,” Brazzo shares. "The rich history of Venice means that you can find inspiration around every turn of their winding streets. No matter how many times I go to Venice, I feel like there is always more to explore ... There’s a mystery in that, which can’t help to be alluring and seductive.”
