Get the Look: Kristen Stewart's Hair & Makeup from the Kid's Choice Awards

Kristen Stewart was all smiles yesterday as she walked the purple and orange red carpet in a blue Osman mini at the Kid's Choice Awards.  I actually don't think I've ever seen her smile so much.  Nominated for 'Favorite Movie Actress' for her work in The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2, her effortless hair and striking eyes complimented her overall look. Here's how to get it. Kristen's hairstylist, Adir Abergel, of Fekkai created an effortless looking side braid that contrasted with the tight lines of her dress.  He started by using Fekkai Perfectly Luscious Curls Wave Activating Spray on her damp hair and scrunch dried it with diffuser to create texture.  After sweeping her hair back from her face, he created a fishtail braid down the middle of her head and secured it with a clear band.  The key to the look was to make it look perfectly undone.  Adir pulled the braid loosely apart and took out some face framing pieces.

"My inspiration for Kristen's makeup look came from the vibrancy of her green eyes," celebrity makeup artist," Jillian Dempsey explained.  I wanted to push the strength of her eyes using shades of purple with iridescent accents."

Using the deep purple shade in Chanel Quadra Eyeshadow in Vanities, she added depth to Kristen's eyes and blended and layered metallic accents to intensify the look using Chanel Illusion D'Ombre Long Wear Luminous Eyeshadow in Mirifique.  She used two different eyeliners to trace her upper and lower lids to add to the intensity.  On the top: Chanel Stylo Yeux Waterproof Long Lasting Eyeliner in Black Shimmer.  On the bottom: Chanel Precision Eye Definer in Violet Smoke.

Get the Look: Kristen Stewart's Bitten Lips & Sparkling Eyes at the Breaking Dawn Part 2 Premiere

––Who saw Breaking Dawn Part 2?  Sorry Twihards, but I never wanted anything to do with Twilight.  Kristen Stewart however, intrigues me.  The actress showed up to the LA premiere of the Twilight Saga last week donning a vintage Zuhair Murad gown paired with Jimmy Choo shoes looking better than ever.  I was shocked when I saw the photos and got the scoop on her glam look from her makeup artist, Jillian Dempsey. "It was really about continuing the luminosity of her dress with shimmering makeup," Dempsey remarks.  "I used iridescent shadow so the light would bounce of here eyes and contrasted bitten, almost stained lips with Kristen's porcelain skin."

Cheeks: For flushed cheeks, Dempsey used Chanel Powder Blush in In Love, but didn't go over board as she wanted to keep color focus on Kristen's lips to keep it glamorous.

Eyes: "I applied layers of shimmery taupe and gold all over the lid and then shaded the crease with a deeper color from Chanel Quadra Eyeshadow in Spices," she explains.  On Kristen's upper and lower lash lines, Dempsey used Chanel Intense Eye Pencil in Noir and smudged shadow underneath the lower lash line to create a softer effect.  To plump up her lashes, Dempsey used Tarte Lash Enhancing Primer than black mascara.

Lips: To hydrate, Dempsey first applied Chanel Rouge Coco Baum then lined them with Laura Mercier Lip Liner in Crushed Berry and filled them in with Chanel Rouge Allure Velvet Lip Colour in La Sensuelle.
