It’s that time of the year again when the fashion and beauty coverage turns away from the amped up glitz of the VMAs and swivels to the gowns, and Italian charm that is the Venice Film Festival.
Taking place from the 31st of August to the 10th of September the festival is attended by international actresses, models, socialites, and paparazzi alike, with films screened a prelude to those you’ll be hearing about come Awards season. However from a beauty perspective, located on a sandbank just off Venice, transit to the island is no easy feat, with international punters jetting in before arriving by vaporetti –Venetian water busses, making it the perfect research material for in-transit, jet-setting beauty.
