How to: Kristen Stewart Eye Makeup

Hands up those who is in love with Kristen Stewart’s eye makeup? (Those with your hands down: you’re weird.) The girl has permanently sexy, smokey eyes; and I for one can admit I’m jealous. Very jealous. Who does her makeup?!

Kristen has beautiful olive green eyes and one thing’s for sure; she has a damn good makeup artist! From all her recent premieres she’s been attending (or shall we say headlining!) she seems to stick to the same eye makeup: gray smokey eyes mixed with brown on top to bring out her beautiful green color.

I think the epitome of her eye makeup look was showcased on her recent November issue of Allure, which in a word is stunning. It shows Kristen as we know her – her messy hair, nude lips and intense eyes. Also, you can see that the makeup applied is how she wears makeup to premieres, so it does seem to be her ‘signature look’!

What’s great about this look too, is that the colors are ‘neutral’ so it can suit any eye color, not just green eyes. Let’s take a closer look, shall we?

Gorgeous! To get her eye makeup look, you need these products:

• metallic gray eyeshadow
• matte light taupe/brown eyeshadow (a slight shimmer eyeshadow will do too)
• highlighting eyeshadow (any color that is shimmery peach/white/champagne will do)
• black shimmer eyeshadow
• matte black pencil eyeliner
• mascara/false individual lashes

So here’s what to do. The chart above shows you exactly where you are applying your product so you don’t get confused.

1. Apply your metallic gray eyeshadow all over your lid. After applying it to your lid, take a smaller eyeshadow brush (or a Q-tip) and lightly draw your lower lash line with the eyeshadow. Take your finger and slightly smudge it all – in the chart above, you should have color as shown in the ‘green’ areas.
2. Take your light brown eyeshadow and apply it on top of your gray eyeshadow, (‘pink’ area in the chart above) at the crease of your eye. Blend downwards into your gray shadow so they look blended in together.
3. Take your highlighting eyeshadow and apply it to the inner tear drops to your eye, like in the ‘blue’ above. Blend in.
4. Next, take your black eyeshadow and a very thin eyeliner brush, and apply black shadow to your top and bottom lash lines. On your top lash line, blend a little more shadow into the outer corners of your eye, like shown in ‘yellow’ in the chart above.
5. Take your eyeliner and line your top and bottom lashes, on top of what you just did with the black shadow. You may also line your waterline if you want to!
6. Finish off with tons of mascara. Kristen also uses individual false eyelashes on the outer corners from time to time, so have fun with those too!

Video Tutorial

I found this awesome video by JuicyStar07 that explains it really well, and it seems like the colors she chose is really close to what Kristen has on – a really good tutorial indeed!

Et voila! Sexy eyes ala Kristen Stewart. Now go find yourself some strange but ridiculously good looking vampire boyfriend! What do you think of her eye makeup? You can probably tell I’m a big fan, no?
