Bella's Beauty Secrets

Allure.Com: Twi-hards young and old are being sent into a fang-filled frenzy today as The Twilight Saga: Eclipse opens today. But before you scoff at us for running yet another post on the movie and its stars, let us mention that we scored the only interview with Robin Mathews—the woman behind Bella Swan's makeup in the movie. Here's her look, broken down feature by feature:




Skin. Keep it on the warmer side with a subtle glow. "Kristen's character had to stand out against all the pale vampires, so I used warm tones on her face—nothing blue-based," Mathews explains. "And because her skin is so fair, I applied a foundation that was half a shade warmer. Her character is also happier in Eclipse, so I dusted her whole face with Giorgio Armani Beauty Micro-Fil Loose Powder because it has a tinge of shimmer."



Brows. "For Kristen's role in The Runaways, we had tweezed away the majority of her eyebrows to match Joan Jett's. For Eclipse, I bought human hair extensions, cut them into teeny brow-length hairs, and attached them with tweezers and prosthetic glue every morning."



Eyes. Focus on the lashes with a few coats of mascara. Mathews started off curling Kristen's lashes and then applied Make Up For Ever Smoky Lash Mascara which added a "significant punch to her eyes."



Lips. "Bella would never wear lipstick or gloss, so what I put on her doesn't have any shine, and it's only a shade or two darker than her actual lip color." (We suggest trying a hydrating lip stain like Tarte's LipSurgence Natural Lip Stain.)
