Ashley Greene Sounds Off on Domestic Violence and Abusive Relationships
The Twilight star and face of Mark talks about her involvement with LoveisRespect.org, a new resource from the National Dating Abuse Helpline.
Tell us a little bit about the event you're hosting.
The event is for Loveisrespect.org and it's for their "Louder Than Words" launch, and I'm here because I'm the ambassador for Mark. The campaign is dedicated to stopping abuse and domestic violence. They recently created youth advisory board with the National Dating Abuse Helpline.
Who are you most excited to see at the party tonight?
I got to meet a couple of the girls who are the board. They're all very smart girls who are very dedicated. I admire what they're doing, especially at young age; it's incredible and really inspiring.
How did the girls get involved?
Loveisrespect.org did a search, working with the National Dating Abuse Helpline. They had to write essays, explaining how domestic violence has affected them. Twenty-four girls were selected and now they're all out there making a difference, making sure people my age and younger are aware of dating abuse.
The most impressive part is that they're getting down to the bottom of the issue, explaining that it doesn't have to physical. It can start with sending erratic text messages and being jealous—things that escalate into something. Making people aware is the most the important thing. We have to stop the cycle while we're young, because once you've been involved in an abusive relations, it's a lot harder to break that pattern.
How did you get involved?
Mark approached me to be their ambassador, and though I like the products and think they're great, I wasn't interested in signing on to a brand just because it's a campaign. But then I saw this m.powerment aspect. I asked them, "What's your cause, what to you do?" Then they gave me the raw rundown of the statistics. Before I actually knew what the statistics were, I knew domestic violence was out there. But there are a lot of things that people just don't know, and I really believe that people need to know this. It hit home with me because it's my age range and my fans are that demographic. You probably know something who's been abused, or you've been abused, or it's affected you in some way.
What have you learned since getting involved?
I learned that 16 to 24 is the highest percentage of women who are abused. People know that abuse is out there but they don't realize it's such a epidemic.
Tell us a little bit about m.powerment.
It's Mark's philanthropic initiative dedicated to stopping domestic abuse. We raise money to give grants each year to give to organizations who have shelters and help abused women. They put people in the right place and right direction.
How is m.powerment making a difference?
Mark's m.powerment campaign donated $100,000 to start this youth advisory board. Loveisrespect.org is for all ages, but the youth advisory board is zoning in on the age demographic that's highly impacted. They make it easier for adults and teenagers to interact and connect, as far as how we speak to them with through social media.
What are the basics of healthy dating?
One of the big things is the quality of your relationships. You want someone who doesn't need power, someone who lets you discuss your thoughts and views and lets you be the individual that you are. If someone wants so be in a relationship with you, they shouldn't want to control you or change anything about you. Constantly texting you, wanting to control who you're friends with, pushing you to different limits—anyone who puts you in positions you don't want to be in. With mental abuse, it doesn't have to be screaming. Little things lead to larger problems.
What can girls do to educate themselves and get involved?
Loveisrespect.org is a great outlet, and there's tons of information out there. Girls can help other people, and they can educate themselves. They should also visit meetmark.com to learn more about the m.powerment campaign.

Ashley Greene’s Interview with ‘Teen Vogue’ at Avon Foundation For Women Gala
If there is one thing Teen Vogue is all about, it’s girl power! So, naturally, I was super-pumped when I had the chance to do a red carpet interview with Twilight star Ashley Greene at the Avon Foundation Global Voices for Change Gala, which honored those who work hard to eradicate breast cancer and domestic violence against women.
Ashley, who is a Mark for Avon brand ambassador, dazzled in a stunning blue Donna Karan dress, and her makeup and hair perfectly channeled Old Hollywood glamour, thanks to celebrity makeup artist Mai Quynh and superstar hairstylist Ted Gibson. Want to know Ashley’s favorite beauty products and tips? Check out our interview below!
Why is the message behind Avon’s gala important for Teen Vogue readers?
The gala tonight is meant to raise awareness for breast cancer and domestic violence. As we all know, breast cancer affects everyone, regardless of age. Some girls are young, so it’s important to be aware and to try and fight for a cure. Many people might not know this, but domestic violence against young women is very common, especially between the ages of 16 to 24. This is unacceptable, and it’s important for young women to be well-educated about these issues and know that there is a place to turn to. There is something they can do.
Has your makeup look changed at all since you started working with Mark?
I’ve been able to explore a lot more makeup-wise than I have in the past! I’m a very simple girl, so it’s been fun to go on photo shoots and to events, and have one of the Mark makeup artists come and work on me. Mark has a lot of fun colors!You have a bright pink lip on right now. What are your tips on how to wear color?
Keep it sheer and simple, especially if you’re wearing a bright dress, like I am tonight. You don’t want to go overboard with color—just balance it out. If you go heavy on the lips, keep your eyes simple. Another thing: never match your eye color with your dress! I think we’ve all done that at some point in time…
What’s your number one beauty tip?
Less is always more! Accentuate what you have with makeup rather than trying to cover yourself up!
Tonight is all about self-empowerment. What would you say to your teenage self about inner beauty and confidence?
I would have told her, “You’ll grow into yourself and you’ll figure it out.” When you’re young, it can be a hard time because you’re just figuring out who you are. It can make you freak out a little bit—I know I certainly did. I’m now 24, and I just started figuring out who I am. Be patient, you’ll get there!
What’s your must-have Mark product?
Definitely their Light Bright Lighten & Depuff Eye Gel. I fly a lot, so it’s perfect for tired eyes. I also love the Gloss Gorgeous Stay on Lip Stain, which I’m wearing tonight. I love it because you don’t have to apply so much of it.
