Phyllis — Wed, 16 Nov 2011 02:50:21 +0000

At the Los Angeles premiere of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1, Kristen Stewart, Nikki Reed and Ashley Greene showed us three different yet equally gorgeous looks. Which one is your favorite? Read on to vote and find out how you can dupe them!

Get Kristen’s sultry smoky eye by applying a pink-based eyeshadow on the eyelid before blending an earth-tone color on the crease and a gunmetal close to the lashline. Add a dusting of pink blush along the cheekbones and leave the lips bare. Need the basics on how to do a smoky eye? Check out this tutorial.

For Nikki’s radiant skin, mix Tom Ford Beauty Traceless Foundation with a little Jouer Luminizing Moisture Tint in Golden and apply the combo with a Beautyblender sponge.

To dupe Ashley’s look, apply mark Good Glowing Custom Pick Powder Blush in After Glo on the apples of the cheeks and blend outward. Add a touch of mark Glowdacious Illuminating Powder on the peak of the cheekbones and brow bones to create a warm flush. Finish with applying a mixture of mark Lipclick Full Color Lipstick in Cha Cha and mark Lipclick SPF 15 Color Shine Lipstick in Hot Stuff.

Interview with Robin Mathews, Makeup Artist for Kristen Stewart in Twilight Saga: New Moon

Phyllis — Sat, 28 Nov 2009 06:48:15 +0000

NY Beauty Secrets Examiner Gabrielle Long and Beauty Blogging Junkie interviewed makeup artist Robin Mathews to give us the lowdown on creating Bella’s look in “The Twilight Saga: New Moon”.

BBJ: What is most exciting about working on The Twilight Saga: New Moon?
RM: Being a part of a film and story that is dearly loved by so many people, and living up to their expectations with the make-up design was fun. I hope I didn’t let them down.

GL: What are the products that you regularly use on the set?

RM: My style tends to be about a flawless face and enhanced eyes. The skin and eyes are the gateways to the soul. For instance, if you become angry or embarrassed, your skin may flush, or your eyes may easily express your emotion. I like to use heavily pigmented eye shadows to get my desired results on set. If you really know how to work with a pigmented product, you have the ability to apply it just as sheerly or heavily as you like. Don’t get me wrong, subtly is a HUGE part of movie make-up, and I do use very light, subtle eyeshadows on set depending on the character, but for the average woman, those shadows are a bit too subtle. (Your face isn’t going to be blown up on a 40′ by 80′ screen). So, in order to keep my kit form containing the entire make-up department from Saks, I rely on the versatile results of a highly pigmented shadow. Some of my favorites are Make Up For Ever, Chanel, NARS and MAC. Laura Mercier also makes a great eye shadow primer to use under less heavily pigmented shadows.

GL: What was your vision for Bella’s look?

RM: Our motivation for Bella in New Moon was a look that would define Bella as an idolized popular literary character, surrounded by mythical creatures while still being a “real girl”. She is almost a realistic cartoon character if you will, but still natural, youthful and fresh.

GL: How can we achieve that at home?

RM: Keep it young, fresh, and natural; pretty but with a punch.
