Smudgy Plum Shadow
All eyes were on Kristen Stewart's eyes at the premiere of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1. The reason? Dramatic plum eye shadow courtesy of Avon Global Creative Color Director Jillian Dempsey. “Kristen and I decided we didn’t want the eye makeup to look too hard," Dempsey told us. She smudged liner and crème base and topped it with a diffuse wash of matte shadow, angling the makeup upwards at the edges for a slight cat-eye. The flat finish kept Stewart looking sultry and smooth through, “all of the flashing,” says Dempsey. The rest of the star's face lit-up in palette of nudes and neutrals letting those stunning lids take center stage.
Unstuffy Retro Waves
Old-school Hollywood hairstyles only work when they're soft and touchable (not stiff and crunchy.) Ashley Greene got it just right at the Avon Foundation Global Voices for Change Gala in New York City thanks to hair wiz Ted Gibson. Starting with damp hair, he smoothed a dollop of gel from mid-shaft down and dried with a medium round brush. After creating a deep side part, Gibosn crafted barrel curls with a curling iron, all twisting towards her face, not away. Next, while Greene’s head was upside down, he brushed through her hair from roots to ends, loosening too-perfect spirals. A final spritz of hairspray and voila: a vintage look with a modern twist.
Color-Matched Blush
We loved Nikki Reed’s warm coral glow at the Madrid premiere of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn. Finding the right blush to complement your shading is essential to your overall look. Start by assessing your undertones. If you have a golden or yellowy complexion, pinks and soft reds will brighten things up. If you’re naturally rosy or tend toward rosacea, stick with taupe or mocha hues, which minimize redness. Coral and peach will be most flattering on olive and darker skin tones—as Reed so effortlessly shows.
