"Twilight: Eclipse" Premiere: Kristen Stewart


Since "Twilight: Eclipse" was such a huge hit in the box office, I decided to stick with another Twilight-inspired look although I have yet to see the movie. Instead of focusing on Bella Swan again, I wanted to do a look based on her alter-ego, Kristen Stewart.

Kristen Stewart's makeup looked gorgeous in one of the premiere pictures, which you can see here. She looks very bronze, and a lot of attention is drawn to her eye makeup, which is very smokey and glittery.

Here are the steps i would take and the products I would use to recreate Kristen Stewart's red carpet look:

Eyes:
- Always remember to prime your lid! Use a primer such as Urban Decay Primer Potion or Lorac Behind the Scenes Eye Primer
- Shadow:
1. Apply "Woodwinked", a brown/bronze color, by MAC all over the lid.
2. Apply Urban Decay eye shadow in "Zero", a matte black color, in the outer crease. Blend outward to get a "cat eye" effect.
3. Apply "Rice Paper", a slight shimmery nude color, by MAC on the brow bone as a highlight. If "Rice Paper" does not match your skin tone, be sure to apply a color that does.

- Liner: Line eyes with Urban Decay liner in "Zero" on the top lash line, bottom lash line, and in the waterline. Be sure to blend the top lash liner and bottom lash liner out, so that the line isn't too harsh. The idea is to get a smokey effect by doing this.

Face: Be sure to apply your concealer, foundation and powder as you normally do.

- Bronzer: Apply your favorite bronzer to your cheeks. Any bronzer will do. My favorite is "Laguna" by Nars. It gives a hint of shimmer, which results in a dewy glow.

- Blush: Apply your favorite blush to the apples of your cheeks. My favorite is
"Orgasm" by Nars. It's a peachy-pink color, which gives a really subtle, angelic glow.

Lips:
- Lip gloss: Apply a really light and shimmery color to your lips, which mimics your own lip color. A color that I recommend to use is "Orgasm" lip gloss by Nars, which you can purchase by clicking here. It is peachy-pink like Kristen's lip gloss, and has flecks of gold shimmer, which looks flattering on all lip colors.
