Kristen Stewart get the Look Smokey Eyes

Last weekend saw Kristen Stewart win  the 2011 Peoples Choice Award in the Favorite Actress category. Her latest movie Twilight: Eclipse, part of the Twilight Saga, is a dark, super natural, thriller. Not every one's cup of tea, so if like me your imagination goes into over drive as soon as the spooky music starts just stick with checking out Kristen's fabulous smokey eye look.
With her pale complexion and nude glossy lips, this sultry smokey eye look makes her green eyes appear seductively feline.
There are many excellent video makeup tutorials to watch on you tube, so I have listed some great alternative products to achieve this look in both a luxury and budget price bracket.

Get The Look
foundation
always test foundation on your skin to check you are buying the right colour. The correct shade will disappear into your skin. If you buy a shade to light or too dark your makeup can appear mask like.

powder
a light dusting of powder will set your makeup and reduce unwanted shine so that your foundation will last longer.


Luxury: Nars Pressed powder- Flesh
Budget: Max Factor Colourgenius mineral Pressed powder.

eyeliner
eyeliner pencil is a must for the smokey eye look. Start by applying eye liner pencil to the bottom and top lash line. It doesn't matter if the line isn't totally accurate, get a small makeup brush and smudge the line.
