As one of fashion’s top runway models, Natasha Poly has the smoldering-eyes thing down pat. On the Gucci fall 2012 catwalk, her unwavering stare was accompanied by pursed blackberry lips that accentuated razor-sharp cheekbones. Poly wore Gucci again over the weekend, at the Cannes Film Festival, only this time her steady gaze was offset by a radiant smile.

Sure, Poly’s eyes were rimmed with runway-ready black, but they appeared more elegant than edgy, thanks to a winged shape and softened texture: instead of heavy liner, her look was achieved using L’Oréal Paris Infallible Eye Shadow in Eternal Black. For a flawless complexion, the L’Oréal Paris spokesmodel also wore the brand’s True Match Super-Blendable Makeup, which boasts SPF 17—something that undoubtedly appealed to her: “The one thing I always use is sunscreen,” she once told us. “I enjoy the sun, but I try to be careful.”
