Copycat: Kristen Stewart’s Pretty Pink Spring Look
Hits and Disses may not have thought much of Kristen
Stewart’s ensemble at the premier of The Runaways last week (actually, the diss
had more to do with KStew’s usual lack of posture than her designer coral
confection), but her fresh and youthful rosy makeup sure caught my eye! Not
only was it refreshing to see Stewart with such a light-handed and perfectly
pink look happening, but this face is the perfect transitional spring look for
all us non-superstar ladies too! I caught up with Vancouver makeup artist,
Marlayna Pincott to get all the details on how to nail the look at home.
-While she is still opting for a smoky eye, Kristen has
opted for a trendy softer grey version this time around. To best achieve this
look, you will need a good pencil liner and at least two shades of grey shadow
such as the Cordura or Paris duo shadow palettes by Nars and Coffee eye pencil
by MAC (slightly softer than the stark contrast of black liner).
-Start by applying the lighter grey around your eye
and feather it out almost half a centimeter to get a slightly winged look.
-Add a very thin line of eyeliner all the way around both
the top and bottom lids for definition, but make sure not to get too carried
away—this look is all about soft and pretty remember!
- Now you can go in with the darker grey shadow and smudge
it along the liner to create a nice colour gradient from liner to your extended
crease. As usual, it’s all about the blending.
-For those ladies with more olive skin tones, a nice light
taupe as a highlighter is ideal. For those blessed with alabaster skin like
Stewart’s, however, your brow bones could be accentuated with a touch of matte
vanilla shadow, or just left bare in contrast to the greys.
-If it’s an extra special look you are after, consider
adding a few individual fake lashes after you curl and apply mascara to your
own.
FACE:
-As for foundation, it’s extremely natural for this look so
you may want to go so far as to just use a tinted moisturizer (Marlayna loves
Laura Mercier’s) and apply concealer as needed.
-Apply a sheer blush in a light pink shade (Marlayna’s pick
is Tarina Tarantino Blush in Charm and mine is The Body Shop’s Kiss of Colour
Cheek Blush in Vibrant Rose) to the apples of your cheeks for a youthful flush.
LIPS:
-To get Stewart’s barely there pink lip colour, you are going to want a very sheer formula that is neither too glossy nor too matte. Our pick? Tarina Tarantino conditioning lip sheen in Cameo—you can’t beat a lip product that keeps you looking good and hydrated at the same time.
Stewart’s mug was definitely looking mighty fine, but it was her
unexpected nail polish choice that really hooked me. A little bit mauve + a
little bronzed = a whole lot of hot. We suggest picking a bronze that suits
your skin tone from the China Glaze collection if you are in the market, but
I’m wondering if you guys know of a shade that is a dead ringer for this one?
Let’s discuss: What do you think of KStew’s new look?
Interested in giving it a try for yourself or would you never consider copying
her? Thoughts on the nail polish? Know of a perfect shade to match it? As
psyched about spring makeup in general as we are? Sound off below!
