@xeesoxeeDavika Hoorne

Thai actress Davika Hoorne glistened down the red carpet in a luminous Thai-inspired makeup look, giving us glowing skin and an undeniable glow. Porcelain skin, groomed brows, a smoky eye, defined lashes and eyeliner, as well as a glossy lip—Davika gave us more reasons to fall in love with the Thai ladies' trendy look.

@davikahNychaa

Another Thai beauty on our radar is Nychaa, also known as Nuttanicha D. She's an actress and model who recently graced the Cannes Film Festival red carpet with her stunning visuals. Clad in a black and white Georges Chakra gown, Nychaa shone bright with a very subtly contoured face, subtle eyeshadow, a clean cat eye, and bottom eyeliner that defined her eye shape. Just like Davika, she also had glowing blush and a glossy lip to cap off the look.
